I went outside to open the garage door for Elysha and Jimi. So I dug up some violets and put them in the planter. The squirrel has been busy digging big divots in the black one. I also dug up a daffodil (?) from the back yard and put it in the brown planter with the sedum. None of the ones in the back have really bloomed yet.  I also took two pails of water out and washed the "house" brooms. I had to refill one of them from the hose. That was an experience. They are now drying out. Lots of people are outside. The kids next door have gotten a trampoline and they were on it, along with a friend or two (I think, because there was a woman in a mask talking to Mr. Spang - I can't remember his first name). Elysha and Jimi should be over in an hour or so. She said Jimi had to work today. They have gotten another bearded lizard so they needed the tank out of the basement. Naming this one Bobbie, after Grandma Pearlman, to go with Arthur, Poppie Pearlman. They came and took the tank and all that was in it. They said they had an apartment number that I didn't know. Steven sent Quigley a birthday present and he didn't get it - that's why.
