I'm here but boring (from Mom)

Nothing very exciting around here like new grandchildren. Our plants are also responding well to the nice weather. I have pansies in the flower boxes on the front porch rail and they are blooming their heads off now. We officially have at least 3 hummingbirds visiting our feeder on the deck. I'm wondering how long Dad will leave that there when the bird poop begins to appear.

There is a lot of color around the yard right now with the lilacs, pink dogwood, etc. The daffodils and tulips are about gone. The asparagus crop is pretty good this year. WE have had at least 4 pickings and another one will be ready tomorrow. We plan to serve it with salmon when Grandma Far Away comes for dinner on Saturday.

Things are super busy at work and I just got a new grant RFP that is going to take even more time. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and go in on weekends. I find that harder and harder to make myself do any more.

Sure has been quiet in the Porter corner of the world and on the East Coast. I hear my sister has lost several clothing sizes and is now petite and strong as an ox. Is this true?

The name of the beach house is the Sea Spirit in Lincoln City. You can view it at:

Who would like to be in charge of weather this year?
