Smells Like Spring

I think most of the people in my neighborhood mowed their lawn yesterday (including Jim...well, the backyard) and it smells terrific.  Mix that with the smell of mulch (manure) and it's making me itchy for a steady string of warm, sunny days.  Can't wait to just have the ability to open the door, leave it open and hang outside. 

In Sunday Hanke News: We've had breakfast; walked both dogs (me- Sami and Jim - Bubba); I've got most of my laundry done and put away; potatoes are in the oven for the twice-baked potatoes we'll be having tonight with our tri-tip and asparagus (yum). I think Jim and I will make a quick trip to our favorite watering hole.  Jim is currently putting the Florida room to rights (winter turns it into our wood holding station).

I think I'll be going to Columbus next weekend.  Apparently Eva has been just randomly saying my name and so I think she's jonsin' for a little Muir time.  I mean, who can blame her?!  You should hear her say my name by the way.  It's such an interesting pronunciation...phonetically it sounds like - "moowee"...love her!  Anyway - I'll head up after school on Thursday and call in sick for Friday...cough cough...come home Sunday. 

So Maggie and Charlie took Buster to puppy daycare on Friday.  He had a great time!  The note they got back from the place said he is a "confident" player and if he were a little bigger, they'd put him in with the big dogs.  Maggie seems to think this is code for, "he's a pain-in-the-ass and harasses the other puppies". I guess he tuckered himself out so much that he wasn't with it until Saturday, late afternoon.  Hee hee...boy needs it. 

And that's about all I've got. Happy Sunday to all...so far it's beautiful here. Later!

Oh, and I know this cartoon has nothing to do with my post but I was looking for "spring" pictures and this popped up...made me laugh.
