We enjoyed our weekend of Easter festivities. We started with an egg coloring fest, then had an egghunt at the farm. Weather cooperated for the most part after a quick moving shower anda bit more wind then we would have liked it was still all good. 

Oh and we had a girl decide to stay the week at the Meadow instead of go back North. We are coming up with all kinds of excitement. Went to a track meet on Monday, headed out on a park trip Tuesday and who knows what today will bring. Little cousins will be at the Meadow tomorrow for the day and Friday we are wide open but have some great options brewing. Not exactly sure when her return date is but we are loving her being here!

We were not together for Easter this year but they will be down tomorrow. This year too many different directions for others to go so we will gather this weekend. Praying for good weather so we can go to the farm. We did do a video call that was awesome to see their faces!

Annnnnnd we are in another struggle with the darn birds again. Seems like the finch don't care about the bird spikes, appears they are small enough to just get inbetween the spikes and not be bothered at all. So we've added the mylar tape back in the mix. That doesn't seem to be bothering them at all either. They are also enjoying our ceiling fan base and the top of the new light fixture out on the big garage. To deter them on the ceiling fan if we see them we flip the switch to turn it on!

This is turning into an annual event...one I an NOT enjoying!

It wouldn't be so bad, I guess, but they poop EVERYWHERE. On the concrete, on the grill covers, on the patio furniture, and on and on. I am forever cleaning up bird poop! YUCK! Stay tuned for the most exciting bird deterrence program around...

 We are still experimenting with the new griddle. Fried rice!

We've also had Little Girls. Good to see them; they've had good days at the Meadow.

Yesterday was hard. Yesterday was honoring, Yesterday was necessary, Yesterday is yesterday. 

Yesterday's memories are still fresh, raw. We will move forward. We will enjoy our memories and we will make new ones. We will make it...

Today we are truly thankful to wake to a new day.

 There are no words to put with my thoughts today...

So thankful we all made/took the time for this trip for her 80th birthday. She was a good one. Treated my as her own from 1983 on...those teenage years I wasn't always as appreciative for her parenting as I can now see was in my best interest. She grandmothered my daughter like no other. She loved hard and big. She will be missed. And it feels like a double whammy to have lost both her and my father just 8 weeks apart. I find such comfort in knowing they are together and we will also be together again in eternity. Doesn't lessen our grief that they are now both gone but we did not lose them as we are confident in seeing them again!

This is what's been happening at the Meadow...

We are so looking forward to the cooking process with this new thang! MiRV was SUPER excited about this buy at the surplus store a few weeks ago. The weather is finally nice enough to get it seasoned and start enjoying the bounty. He's gonna channel his inner chef... I've been told there will be Khan's and White Grill come off this griddle. The seasoning process is very important and there are so many tips, tricks and must do's that it's almost overwhelming. Gotta get a good smooth surface on it and then let the griddling begin. He's been to the store and back, YouTubed, Googled and hoping he's nailed it.

Dinner tonight was bacon cheese burgers with grilled onions. The bacon was soooo good!

Next up fried rice. Yum, can't wait. This will be awesome this summer when we don't want to heat up the kitchen inside, we'll just griddle out!
