T Stands for This and That Spring Edition

    Hi everyone. Happy new week to you. And since it's Monday night, it's time  for T once again over at Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog.   

   So what's up with me?  Last week it was on the cooler side (and Sunday was even downright cold) ,and we even had a bit of rain. Thursday we needed to go into Boston for my husband's annual kidney transplant check up. It's been 9 years, and all is still good. 👍 😀❤ The photo below is Mass General Hospital where the transplant took place and where my husband still gets care. This is  not even all of Mass General Hospital, and that includes the 2 parking garages  which are part of the hospital property. Even though it's an amazing hospital, it's quite the zoo, at least driving in and out of. I suppose many big city big hospitals are the same.

    I've also been busy with some more yard work.  And look, we're starting to get some leaves. I know for some of you leaves are not exciting, but when it's the end  of what was a long bare branched winter, it is exciting.

     The weeping cherry is my yard (we call it Al after my Dad since it was a gift from my co-workers when my Dad passed in 2004) is blooming and attracting all kinds of bees, including some wild bees I could not get a photo of because they moved too quickly.

   I don't think Al will be  blooming for much longer, sadly. It's too bad these spring blooms don't last for more weeks. 

    The back deck railing is done, and it looks great. I think I need an updated photo though because the centers of the spindles do not have the part going through them. That has since been pushed up into place under the top railing.

   My perennial garden is looking great, especially with all the daffodils still blooming.

   And yes, this outbuilding needs a new roof and a new exposed chimney as it's original from when we  bought the house.  It's my husband's tool shop. 

    Mama Bluebird is getting used to me, but not quite as used to me as all the chickadees that come to the bird feeders. She and Dad bluebird have been busy feeding some chicks in the bluebird house.

    But there's no sign of the babies yet.

   And probably the biggest spring news is what opened this weekend.

   Until late June they will only be open on weekends.  The hubby and I went for dinner Sunday evening and split a seafood platter. It was as good as it ever is. And  we still couldn't finish it. 😉

    It was also good because the price of this meal did not go up ( at least not yet) from last year nor  from the year before. And the best thing about Pop's is that they don't mind if you bring your own drinks, which we did. You can see my Diet Coke which is my  ticket for T this week.

   That's about all the new things with me. Wishing everyone a Happy T day and week ahead.
