Yikes!  I’m way late making this post!  It’s practically the middle of May already!  The main big thing we did that was a favorite in April was go to Walt Disney World, so prepare yourself for lots of Disney pics.

Favorite #1

The second Saturday of April, Big Eagle and I flew to Orlando and met up with Cara, Paul, and the girls in the Magic Kingdom!  We’d been planning this trip for over 2 years.  First we were going to go in December of 2020, but COVID kept us from making reservations.  Then we made reservations for December of 2021, but COVID again caused us to have to cancel. Third time was a charm, though, and we got to WDW without a hitch.  Yay!

Just a few pics from this day.

 

 

That was just a fraction of the pictures I took!  But that was a bit of our WDW vacation fun. 😁

Puppies!  Who doesn’t love seeing puppies?  After we got home from Florida, I had to take Annie to the vet.  While we were waiting to be called in, I visited with the owner of these cute Golden Doodles.

I don’t think Annie even wanted to be photographed with them.  Ha!

So happy with the spring flowers this year!

The amaryllis by our mailbox has more blooms than it’s had any other year!

 

Big Eagle redid all of our flower beds this year, and when he did, he temporarily removed these amaryllis that our neighbor gave us years ago.  We wondered if they would still bloom.  And just look at them!  Gorgeous!

 

And these are the amaryllis that were my mom’s from Florida.  Also more blooms than ever this year!

 

We’ve been only getting one or two of our purple irises to bloom every year.  But now that the tree they were surrounding has been removed, they are thriving again!  If you look closely, you can see there are lots of blooms that haven’t opened up yet, too.  The stump is being taken out in a couple of weeks, so I’ll be relocating these irises once they’ve finished blooming.

When Big Eagle repainted the outside of the house, he also removed the old wooden railing we had on the front porch.  In April he put up a new aluminum railing.  It looks great!  Here’s a before and after for you.  We were having new doors installed when I took the before picture, so the porch is a bit of a mess.

We started enjoying a few of the fresh veggies from our garden in April, and that’s always a favorite!

 

Radishes are always the first to be ready!

 

I took this picture of the first snow peas on April 21st.

 

And while we aren’t enjoying these yet, Big Eagle and I both were surprised to see plum tomatoes setting in April!  We’ve never had them set that early before!

I’ve found a quick, easy lunch that I love!

I’ve tried some of the other P.F. Chang’s frozen meals, but this is the one I really like and keep buying.

I add my broccoli from the produce department and snow peas from the garden.  A little splash of soy sauce, and it’s good to go.  Yum!

This past April set records in our area for being windy!  Now it looks like May is going to set records for being HOT!  We’re already in the 90s every day, and now they’re predicting we may hit triple digits before the month is over.  Crazy!

If you have any April favorites or anything else to share, I hope you’ll do it in the comment section.  Today is Friday, so I hope you have a great weekend!
