Father’s Day today. Lots going on but we took time to celebrate a bit too.
Justin is rearranging plants in the backyard near the lot line. He decided to sell ferns on Marketplace rather than just dumping them off at the plant exchange bin at yard waste. Several folks were very interested today. One lady started to comment about a piece of yard sculpture when she noticed that it moved. It was a turtle coming up from the river to lay eggs. I totally lost interest in the ferns. I was absolutely fascinated with the turtle. We will mark the spot and try to remember to come back in 60 days.
Ric went home. He’s confident he can navigate his stairs and I’m sure he’s tired of us. I guess the convalescent home is closed for now.
Last week we started painting upstairs. Justin has been so ready to get that done. Now the entire upstairs suite will be more cheerful.
Justin and I worked at Nancy’s farm a couple of days within the last couple of weeks. We got some rows closer to ready. Soon, they will plant tomatoes, peppers, and goodness knows what else. Tom just had hip replacement surgery and Nancy’s knees are failing. They still started hundreds of plants for the spring. Several other families from nearby are helping too.
An added bonus for me is that I’m learning how to cook with duck eggs. They are much larger and richer than chicken eggs. So far, it seems as if they are great for baking but they get rubbery easily for pan preparations. I’ll keep at it.

Jordan hosted a celebration event yesterday. Eric and his kids were there too. It really is the bees knees when Justin gets to be with his sons.
