Yesterday marked the advent of lots of firsts: George de-thatched the lawn, spread the thatch over the garden plot, and tilled the garden three times.
Then we went golfing (I am going to try to golf this year after a hiatus of two years). We managed five holes. (We are members at Tipsinah Mounds Golf Course and have the use of a golf cart, so it costs the same no matter how many or few holes we play.)
Then when we got home and were fast asleep, we had the first thunder and lightening of the season. No damage to anything although the electricity was out for a time, but it was a boomer! Such fun to sleep to the sound of rain on the roof and thunder in the sky. I love it.
An energetic day for two "old people" as Fran so truthfully designated us.
Now I must rattle around to get myself ready to go to a special program at the Coffeehouse Art Center. An author (Linda Lein) is going to talk to us at 10 and the emphasis of the day will be on book clubs. I think our book club will attend this talk and then meet after the talk is over. There are only four of us, but at least one other club with 10 members will also be in attendance. We are trying to get people excited about our library and involved ever more in the fascinating world of the printed word in book form. Wish us luck!
The lawn is a nice combination of green and yellow ochre. The rain has made its impact on the land. Finally, Spring has sprung! Take care.

Eager to hear what your author had to say. Thursday noon at Forum we heard Bishop Spong speak. The place was packed and he got a standing ovation. I bought his last book which, of course, was on sale there. Morgan was there too and we got together to wait for Jeff's arrival. Forum is broadcast on Mpls. radio. 60,000 estimated hear the program. Next week is Crossan.
