More signs of spring: Stephanie brought home from Day 2 of Crescent Hill church's up-scale plant sale, tea, and art sale (UPSTARTS) Sunday some more plants, adding to a bevy of plants she has installed. By Tuesday, flowers we'd been watching around the tree in the front yard of our rented St. Matthews home had bloomed (below).
Stephanie also got to fulfill her outdoor grillling dreams from the weekend, on a day when rain started to threaten for much of the rest of Derby week. On the menu were smoked turkey sausage and vegetable kabobs (Frisco got much of the veggie kabobs!), grilled half cabbages (!), and rice. It was the first time we've grilled this year.
Two danger signs for spring/Derby week. Good for alleviating my allergies, but bad for enjoying Derby week outdoors - Rain expected to continue this week, possibly on the Pegasus Parade tomorrow and on the races Friday and Saturday. Surprisingly, the rain let up today helping the local favorite "Belle of Louisville" "beat" a new Cincinnati-based rival boat in the Great Steamboat Race on the Ohio River. Also: Last year we went to Derby-related parties on Friday night and Saturday afternoon and - as of yet - we've received no party invitations (including for the annual Friday night party we usually go to). Trouble in the Chang/Mathews/Gregory family's Derby party land?
