From my yard …is this Lily of the Valley? I don’t think the hyacinth was cultivated, I think it just sort of grew here. I have no idea what this is, but you can see new growth underneath …  Yeah, this yard is going to need some work. But at least we have a nice patio.  I had lunch outside yesterday.  We will have some great barbecues this summer. And the possum doesn’t seem to mind the mess. There’s a new cat in town What is it with cats and windows? I am still fascinated with the skies … Yesterday’s Mets game was absolutely insane … Lindor got hit by a pitch.  Twice.  In the same inning!  11 men came to bat in the 7th inning.  Nimmo had quite a day, 9 RBI’s, thanks to two home runs (including a grand slam).  Tied the club record.  Final score Mets 19, Nationals 5. I’m unpacking my suitcase, my trip is cancelled.  My friend’s elderly mother is in the hospital, so we have to postpone our visit.  Sigh.

 Guess which team has the best record in baseball? LET’S GO METS! And that the Yankees are also in first place … dreaming of a Subway Series.  Yeah, I know, it’s only April … We are heading to Florida later this week to visit old friends.  I’m excited for the trip.  Worried about the cats, but we have an incredible cat sitter.  And I’m not just saying it because I’m her mother. Snow? No, petals.  Here are some green ones. My azaleas are blooming. Trying figure out what these are, I have them in my front and back yards. I’m not much of a gardener, but I have to do something about our lawn, it looks absolutely terrible.  Lots of brown patches where the grass died in last year’s drought.  I bought a product — it’s grass seed, mulch and fertilizer — meant to address this issue. But you have to water the lawn every day for a week after you put the seeds down, so it’s going to have to wait until we come back from Florida. Ours isn’t the only lawn in the...

  I'll Be Loving You (Forever) Welcome to  Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! Saturday 9: I'll Be Loving You (Forever) – 1989   Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here .   1) A Greek philosopher said, "There is nothing permanent except change." The New Kids on the Block sang, "I'll be loving you forever." Who do you think is right? Or can both be right? People change.  They grow and mature.  You can love someone forever, but the way you love them has changed because both people have changed.   2) In this week's song, New K...
