Life Snippets #18

I've got a stockpile of random photos from April, so I'll just start right in.

The poor cat.  He's always such a train wreck.  He got a hematoma in his left ear from an ear infection, and now that it's all healed up, it's bent over and shriveled.  Basically, cauliflower ear.
As I type, he's got another upper respiratory infection.  His back is one giant mat of hair from having colds all winter and not grooming properly.  So we'll probably take him in for a buzz cut, now that the weather is nicer.  If it isn't one thing with him, it's two or three.

As you know, we hosted dinner for out of town friends last month.

I took photos throughout the day to remember it by.

Being busy with prep all day left Baby looking like nobody loved her.

The face.  The hair.

She was a hot mess.

House clean and ready for company.

The wait.

They're here!

Time to eat.

Cheesy, bacony, twice-baked potato casserole.

Salad and veggies.

Meeeat.

The day my bud headed back home to Arizona, his step-brother, who we met at the wedding, flew in from Indiana for work.

So we had him over for dinner a couple nights later.

The Dad.

It wasn't exciting enough for it's own post, but I wanted to take a couple progress pics of the veggies in the driveway.

 It's a good way for me to track how things are growing, for next year.
These pictures were taken on April 26th.

The potato tower, which I'm so excited about, is showing signs of life.

I still want to plant something in the top, but haven't decided what yet.

The carrots are actually big enough to see now, and the radishes are doing awesome.

We've eaten them on bread, with butter and salt, and on several salads.

And, of course, just pulling them out, brushing them off, and chomping away.

So good!
And that's it for last month's photo purge.
Somehow, we're already in the middle of May.
What?!
Front yard flower pics to come later this week.
Until then...
