The first rays of sunshine on the front row of trees to our west. They looked more golden to the eye.
Does this mean it is Spring? We already saw robins a couple weeks ago. Trees and bushes are budding. Some even have new leaves. (The trees, not the robins.)
More boxes carried to the truck and more boxes packed. We make a good team. I assembled the boxes. Ella filled them. I sealed them and lugged them to the truck.
Lunch was porkchops, mashed potatoes, and peas. All cooked in the Instapot at the same time. It is one of those inventions like the cell phone — how did we get along without it? Seriously. Between the George Foreman Grill and the Instant Pot I do 99.9% of our cooking. The convection oven and electric tea kettle fill out the other .1%.
