A productive day! Patrick and I both worked in the yard because it was a beautiful day. I got our boxwood hedge trimmed and the entire yard edged. We bought a few plants and Patrick mowed the backyard. I even got my outdoor chalkboard painted. (The chalk markers would not erase the Winter greeting Bree and Noah wrote on it.) It’s so relaxing to be outside again. I love having an active day.

Tonight we went to a retirement party for some of Patrick’s colleagues. We had a good meal and good conversation. And I got to see my friend Di in person! It’s been a long time. I’m thankful we got to chat “live” and grateful for her hugs.
