Jeepers, it was a different kind of day for me. I had great plans for this 12 of 12, but.....I got a call first thing that required me to go to work. (Not a really good thing when you're retired, but it's spending money when they call.) Anyway, right after that I headed for a friend's house to help them with a project. That took care of the rest of the morning and still no 12 of 12 pics. Truth be told, I finally grabbed my camera about 3:30 this afternoon and here's the results:

3:27pm - A cabinet in the garage that I'm in the

process of refinishing.

3:31 pm - 10 bales of pine straw that I need to
spread in the flower beds.


3:32 pm - First Daffodils of the year. They opened yesterday.

3:33 pm - We can always count on the Crocus to bloom

early. I love these hearty little plants.

3:40 pm - Diane's potting bench and her smiley

Sun Face.

3:45 pm - Our grandson, Michael, assigned Diane the

name "Mermaid" many years ago and it stuck.

Now we have many, many mermaids. This

one welcomes you to our goldfish pond.

3:47 pm - This mermaid is dipping her tail in the

goldfish pond. When we first got her, she rode

home in the front seat of Diane's convertible.

You should have seen the stares Diane

got at stop lights.

3:50 pm - And another mermaid in a bird bath.

3:51 pm - And another mermaid in another

bird bath.

4:05 pm - Back in the house now, here's one

of our mermaids in the powder room.

4:06 pm - You don't want a mermaid to be

lonely, so you must have at least

two in the powder room.

4:08 pm - Mermaid says "Please tidy up..."
