T Stands for Lots of Outside Time

      Hi everyone. Happy new week to you.  If you celebrated any spring holidays recently I hope they were good for you. Also hello to everyone who stops by for T Day over at  Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's        blog.  I want to wish our lovely T Day hostess a happy birthday, or should I say Bearthday since T day this week happens to fall on Earth Day.

     After a snowy week, last week we had some nice spring weather, including some warmer weather too. It was an outside week for me. I did a lot of  yard work ❤ and took a long beach walk one day too.  Plus I got some new glasses. This first photo is of me inside of Costco when I picked up my glasses. They say big glasses are back in.

    Here's a snapshot of me in my new sunglasses in my car before I was going to drive home. My daughter asked me to take photos and send them to her so she could see what I picked out. I thought I would share them with you also. 

     As I mentioned, I also did a lot of outside work. In last week's T day post I wrote about how I was going to move and spread out  some rose bushes. They are all moved now. This week I need to get some bark mulch and mulch the area. You can also see some of my irises coming up on the left too.

    My daffodils are way up but not budding or flowering yet. The little green leaves around them are the sweet woodruff which has spread out nicely in the last few years and the rest of the green is moss. If raking didn't rip up moss, I think I would love a whole lawn full of moss. It's an amazing plant.

 I  have a few crocuses flowering-finally. 😏

The seeds I planted a couple of weeks ago are really growing. First of all here's some kale.

And here's some spinach.

In a big planting bag I put in some beet and carrot seeds. The bigger seedlings in the front are the beets. My carrots are just starting to break the soil.

I also have a little bit of garlic coming up too.

When I picked up my glasses at Costco I bought a new rosemary plant. 

     I need to plant that in a better pot. It's also finally warmed up enough to  start some other plants, but  not outside yet.

  And because it's T day, I need to share a drink photo. I mentioned that I went for a long beach walk last week. I hadn't seen my friend Jo in awhile so instead of taking beach photos we spent 4 .25 miles (6.8 km) catching up. Then we went to lunch at a place called the Airport Cafe. It's at a small airfield, and in the restaurant they have planes that move around the ceiling on a track. 

      If you have a window seat or sit outside, you can watch actual planes take off and land. On the day we went it was fairly windy so I didn't see any planes besides the ones on the track above me.

     This cafe is only open until 2 PM, and they serve breakfast all day. On that day's daily specials they had a pulled pork and cheddar cheese omelette which sounded tasty so we both ended up ordering it.

     That omelette was big enough for 2 meals, but somehow I managed to eat almost all of it. (But I couldn't finish the potatoes or toast.)  I was pretty full by then and since I'd spent a couple hours walking in the morning,  when I got home I took a long (and wonderful)  nap. 😏

    That's all for me. Have a happy T day and week ahead.
