Today at Iten's Acres: Day Last April 2, 2017

Day Last is here.  Tomorrow I will be blessed with the presence of the Seniors.  Yes, I will have a little bit of The Acres withdrawal. The Homesteader will have to get use to not being able to boss me all day long. The Posse and my Feathered Friends will only get a morning glimpse. This morning was a struggle physically, but by four this afternoon, I felt strong enough to do a little "work." Therapeutic. And, trust me, just a little. Three surprises today--the Asian lily seemed unimpressed by the frost; a Louisiana iris that i thought was just a memory is coming up; and the big one--when I moved here there was a gorgeous deep red crab apple up by the house. A vine choked it out, it was cut down. Guess what sent up a shoot of life this spring? Yep, if I live to be eighty, the beauty will be back. Well, it will be back either way, but, Lord willing, I may get to see it bloom again. My Gardening Angels are the best.
A baseball note: if the Cards win tonight I'll be happy; if the Cubs win tonight, Brad will be happy. It's a win-win for the old man..
