Maybe because they&#8217;re under a tree?  But it&#8217;s not a very robust tree, hard to say.  It&#8217;s always something.  Yesterday I did find a nice little clump of daffodils mixed in with the bushes at the top of the driveway.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a10.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a10-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>An April 6th Mom and I took our second bot ride of the year and as we slowly glided down a nearby cove we spotted a swan.  As we headed back out of the cove the swan started following us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a11.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a11.jpg 540w, https:\/\/graceuncensored.com\/WordPress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/a11-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This happened to us last year but then the swan was much more aggressive.

Hopefully we&#8217;ll have another one this Friday although it&#8217;s going to be more chilly, but of course the fire would keep us warm.  I mentioned to Bev about the Friday night weenie roast and she said she&#8217;d &#8220;come to one this summer,&#8221; which surprised me a little because I figured she didn&#8217;t want to venture out for who knows how long.  I&#8217;ll have to keep reminding her, and hopefully she&#8217;ll join us soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok then,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The day after Easter I drove past this grand house in Laketown.
