Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you?  What's your weather like? Don't worry if you don't like it, it will probably change tomorrow;)

We've got a few flowers popping up in the garden.  Though, they are in the minority compared to the weeds. Heh.

A nonpolitical FYI on the 'Real ID'.

I'm mentioning this because of the confusion that swirls around the real ID and hopefully it will be of help if you haven't gotten yours and plan to. We got ours in the works last week. I say in the works because we were basically given a 'temporary'  (a piece of paper with  current information) until the ID arrives. We took our drivers license, passports and proof of current address, which  can be utility information, insurance etc. Mine went fine. But because the HH's passport showed his middle initial instead of full middle name, therefore not matching his proof of current address and drivers license to the letter, he had to go home and get his birth certificate.  So make sure your name on all your documentation you take in is exactly the same.

My understanding is: that a real ID is basically a standardized ID for airline travel. It is not required for voting or registration. Although, it can be used as your photo ID when voting. It is also used at some military bases, some federal buildings and nuclear facilities.

Hope this helps.

Ketch-Up Day

How are you? How goes your week? I saw my first Swallowtail this week. If Spring isn't here, it's arriving shortly.

Soon, CJ. Soon. 

 

Do you know, what kind of steak this is?  Here's a hint....It's not beef:)

 AND

The violets are up.  I love them but I didn't realize how invasive they are.  They are making a grab to take over the garden. 

AND

The HH got me an Easter dishtowel:) Move over Easter bunny, the Easter kitties are coming to town.

AND

Now the answer to your quizz:) It's a watermelon radish steak.  This is a pic of it before it was cooked.

That's it for now, Blogger Buds.  Ever had Watermelon Radish Steak OR Watermelon Steak? Have violets up? Got your Easter decorations out? I blush to admit I don't and times flying.....Have a grand one.

Ketch-up Day

 

 It's been a very messy winter, hence the new mat.  It's very scarifying...at least for Frank.  He wouldn't come in from the screened-in porch until I moved it. Maybe he's afraid that whatever giant beast made that footprint may be lurking around.  The other critters could care less. Of course, they don't have Frank's highly developed sense of danger. 

 

 

 

Spring is here...at least temporarily

The HH has gone from complaining about how cold it is when the temp drops to 40 to  grumbling about how he'll probably have to mow this month. 😀

 

The forsythia bushes are in bloom. 

 

Birds love to hide in this one.
 

 

The hyacinths are also blooming.

 And the grape hyacinths

What's going on at your place, Blogger Buds? Got spring flowers? Grumbles about 'it's to early to mow'? Squirrel sightings? Scaredy cats?;)
