Bob is MIA

Bob is likely at a neighbor's asking a car question or two. Last I knew he was checking to see why the hood keeps popping up on my van all on its own. It does not turn loose and fly up, just pops and is ready to open. I do not want it to fly open.
I helped him get his Capri up on the ramps. Not sure what he is doing there. You may guess our weather is lovely.
We each mowed a little in the front yard.
Earlier I went to Dollar General for cat food and the Marion thrift shop.
We may go to Newton later, or we may not.
I am considering making a salad to go with either chicken or meat loaf for a late lunch.
Last week my biggest bird bath fell over. It was not set soundly and I believe a large dog gave it a shove while using my flower bed for his business. I have a new place to move it, but need to gather my strength first.
After Easter I will really get busy with yard and garden projects.

I got it done. Used a two wheel dolly to move the base. I rolled the top on its side. Hardest part was getting the top up onto the base. I love it, though. It is level and stands tall.

I am going to put some kind of a repellent on the soil.

At the other house, I'd disappear talking with a neighbor and Pretty would go hunting for me. I kept telling her I'd be back in a little bit but she never listened. 
I hope you get things set up the way you want it soon.
I worked in the yard Thursday and then Pretty came out and helped me in the yard yesterday. We'll both go back out this afternoon and see if the battery in the mower will last longer than 20 minutes this time.
I hope you're having a good day.2 people like this

I had a great day. I need to get back into shape and yardwork will help me do it.

@GardenGerty I need to get used to doing yard work again, too. I get tired too quickly right now and keep needing to rest.
I'm glad you had a good day.
We were both fighting allergic reactions from being outside yesterday. I didn't notice until we were back in the house that the air quality was really bad. There was a LOT of tree and grass pollen in the air.

I hope Bob shows up soon. Now see that I thought Easter was a long way off and then April started and now next Sunday Easter is here,

He had gone to the shed to get the cushions for our lawn chairs. All is well.

Not a whole lot. It turns out Bob had gone out to our shed to find the cushions for the lawn chairs. We enjoy them and so does Bruno.

He moves very quietly, like a ghost. He actually had just gone to the back of our lot to get the lawn chair cushions. We really like sitting outside.

Glad you have a beautiful day. It is so disappointing. I have never seen a bird in the bird bath here. I guess there is too much available water elsewhere.

Mostly I see them drinking. And butterflies and bees, and the occasional cat. Hummingbirds really appreciate birdbaths for drinks.

Yep. Scared me there for a second. Glad he's okay at least.

He went to get our cushions for our lawn chairs so it feels more comfy.

It is mostly about taking the time to do it.

It would be good to get the hood fixed just in case it does decide to fly open.

I hope you found Bob. I hope the issue with your hood can be resolved. Wishing that you feel 100% soon.
