How was your week?  'Twas quite warm here.  And wet.  Rain showers on a daily basis in late afternoon.

I got numerous tasks accomplished over the weekend which always feels good.

One biggie was pulling out and removing a very large root ball of what was once a gorgeous bamboo plant that grew (very isolated) in a galvenized container on my back deck.

I think the freeze was just too much for it - RIP.

So now that the root ball is gone - I can home something else large and fun in the cool horse trough planter.

** Interesting - none of the nurseries around here carry bamboo any more.  I totally get why.  But I'd sure like to plant another bamboo in the container.  It was cool and tall and floaty. **

I spotted a BIG Opossum outside my kitchen window yesterday morning raiding the catfood bowl.

Are Opossums supposed to come out during the day?  I don't really recall seeing one during the day.

Anyway, it ate (cleaned the entire bowl) and waddled off to wherever.  It was pretty darn cute.

I didn't snap a picture to share because I didn't want to open the screen door and startle it away.

Being Easter - I told myself that it had scored its kind of Easter eggs on this particular Sunday morning hunt - ha (!!) - and let it be undisturbed.

Collected these 12 pieces of fun + interesting + recipes for today.

Click away and enjoy!
