Easter, Lilacs and the Comet

 4-4-2021 Easter

We had a nice laid back Easter, we didn't feel comfortable being around a lot of people so soon after our second vaccine shots so we stayed home.  Vera cooked a spiral cut ham in the Instant Pot and it turned out great.  We had a simple dinner of ham, corn and four cheese mashed potatoes.

We went for a ride in the afternoon up the Spirit Lake Hwy and then took 505 to Toledo to come home.  It was a beautiful day for a ride with lots of sunshine and blue skies.  I wanted a picture for the blog so I stopped along 505 and took this picture of a tree that is a survivor.

Primroses must be a hardy plant, I run over them with the lawn mower all the time.  We have not done any cleaning around them for several years and they still bloom like crazy.  Vera had an eye doctor appointment Tuesday morning and some how we ended up at Dairy Queen for Blizzards afterwards.

We planted ten reblooming lilacs on the North side of the driveway today.  I have been doing a lot of cleaning and rearranging in the shop this week and today I started working on the Comet again after we finished with the lilacs.
