I am now spending a quiet Sunday afternoon, lounging at the club pool after a wonderful morning of serving a Kentucky Derby Brunch in Florida.
At least, it was our version of a Kentucky brunch. Everyone was so excited to attend and we were so glad to be able to give them a little of the wonderful Kentucky hospitality. Some of those attending have never been to Kentucky, but I think they may just make it our way.

Now that it is spring, I have started thinking about gardening. It has been such a long time since we last put in a garden, and I cannot wait to get one going where we live now.
The ground was plowed a few days ago, so I know we are going to do it. We are planning ways to deter the deer, and I have also been told I must also try to repel the raccoons, possums, squirrels and whatever other critters there may be out there.
