     Good morning. Wow, it is April already. This first week of April's weather forecast looks good, well at least it isn't calling for snow. Friday was so nice, I spent some time outside sitting in the sun and dreaming of the garden I am going to plant. We have two crocuses blooming in the yard and some other flower blooming. I am not sure what it is, I had thought it was going to be a tulip but it isn't. I think I planted it last fall thinking it was a tulip but now I am not sure what it is.
     Friday my husband and I was trying to kill time while my car was getting the exhaust worked on so we went to a thrift store to look around. I found a plate that looked like it had a picture of my church on it, the dates were right and the name was kinda right. Well I had to buy it. I took it to my cousin J's house so she could see it and it is sadly not our church. Close but not. I had thought I found something really cool.
     Yes I did it too, I knocked off my tomato plants like my husband and my cat had done. Those poor plants are not having any luck. We also have a mouse again. They keep eating my sprouted plants, they prefer the tomato and bell pepper seedlings. They also killed all my early cucumber plants. I am now using every method to kill or trap a mouse known to man. So far I have got one and there is still at least one more, it ran across my husbands feet.
     When I was making a pie last week, one of the apples had seeds that were sprouted inside. I put them in dirt and yesterday I noticed that one is growing up out of the dirt. I have moved it to a different room so the mouse can't get to it. I don't know if it will ever produce apples, being that it came from an apple from a store, you know GMOs and all, but I am going to give it a shot.
     Yesterday my husband and I went for a walk in the woods. It was so nice to get out in nature. I love walking in the woods. I am so glad the weather is getting nicer so that I can get out more often.
I can see my self going on lots of walks when I have help here with Mom.
     I need to get off here. I have a few errands to run today. Have a good day.
