When I last posted, I was on my way to a Basketry Retreat in Port Orchard. Here is a picture of one of the baskets I wove. It is made of reed and I've filled it with Easter knickknacks; it is supposed to be a market basket. It's a little different from the willow with which I usually work.
Now it is April and everything is green, green, green. We went down to Seattle one weekend and brought back a pick-up truck load of plants for Roger's clients. But I got some of the leftovers (privilege of being a landscaper's wife). So besides weeding, I've planted ajuga, daylilies, cala lily, asters, etc, etc. Roger is planting seeds in the greenhouses, but we've yet to plant vegetables outside--even the potatoes beds are prepped but not planted. I got to try out the riding mower Roger bought from our neighbor Ron. So the pasture be the pond is newly mown.
We went to see a friend's concert in Seattle--the real reason for our trip. http://waywardmusic.blogspot.com/2010/04/jay-hamilton-fred.html
And since we were there we were able to help celebrate some friends' April birthdays. Suzie loved riding in the pick-up truck, like a grownup dog.
This past weekend, Bjorn and his family came to visit. April is a very big month in their family as the First was the twins' Fourth birthday! 
And Ethel's birthday was the 12th, and Bjorn's is the 30th. Little Audrey will be 3 months old tomorrow! http://www.flickr.com/photos/8374500@N06/4536476464/ The weather was great and we got to play on the beach at Eagle Cove, the girls visited Uncle Eric's ducks and bunnies. And the grandparents babysat one night so Bjorn and Ethel could go out for the evening!
This Friday is our 22nd wedding anniversary. I'd like to go to Orcas for the day. More on that in my next post.
