Weekends have a new freshness to them, when every Monday is not a work day. There is time for piddling. Selecting flowers for the first mini flower arrangement of the season, sitting on the front porch after pulling weeds. There is soil to be turned and amended, mulch to be laid, all in good time. 

My mind turns to thoughts of road trips to see Brother and Dottie and Sister. How would it be to jump in the car and go. Would I decide halfway to Albuquerque that it was a bad idea? No way to know except to try...

These are the week-old tulips right before I tossed them.  Let me age like a tulip please.  

I was a few minutes late for my date with the sun this week. It started without me, which was fine.

The tree sparrows are nesting in all the houses at the Baker Wetlands.



Green grasses are pushing up. 

Trails beckon and the wild phlox is blooming.



Oat milk lattes are a new favorite. Very creamy with a nice mouth feel. 

My finds from the beaches of California are sitting on my table and I am moving them around on different surfaces. It's addictive making patterns with different combinations.



In entertainment news, which you know will be old because Chris and I are the last one's to see whatever the new thing is. We started Atlantic Crossing last night. Gripping is how I would describe it. It is based on some thread of truth - how much I don't know, but I am seriously down a rabbit hole of looking up what was happening in Norway in WWII. We are watching on Amazon prime. There is only one season, 8 episodes. 

I was telling sister about it until she reminded me that she told me about it eons ago. She also told me I would get down on my knees and thank her when I followed her advice and watched Last Tango in Halifax and Seaside Hotel when we are done with this current series we are watching.

I've watched all of those series which are indeed wonderful. I had no idea about how Norway was involved in the War-we were also researching what was happening. Enjoy

We watched Atlantic Crossing when it was on PBS. There were postings after each episode about how much was historically accurate; you may be able to find them on the PBS website. Quite a bit was true, but not all.

Yes, those shows are terrific! I remember thoroughly enjoying the intro music to Atlantic Crossing as well. An interesting side-anecdote, my parents were visiting Norway the weekend that Crown Prince Olav was crowned King in 1957.

I've watched and liked all 3 series but Last Tango in Halifax tugged at my heartstrings as I lived in Yorkshire for several years, though just outside of Harrogate. The posh end of the county. (You'll get that when you watch!)
