Mystery man

Yesterday hubby made grilled cheese sandwiches. 

Can you see a face in this piece of toast?  We see a man with a mustache.  It He It was yummy.

Good-bye Tulip Time!

Tulip Time is finally over and everything is returning back to normal. 

Good-bye, kissers.*  (*These two small metal spirals are supposed to keep boys from kissing you!)

Good-bye, bands and shiny instruments.

Adios, men on horseback!

Moo-moo Moo-moo.  (Translated:  Good-bye, funny floats.  We'll see you next year.)

So blue

Charlie stopped to sniff something on the ground during our morning walk:

What is this delicate blue object?

At first I thought it was a tiny dyed Easter egg.  But who would dare to dye such delicate eggs?  A quick internet search informed me that it was a robin's egg and that they're naturally this gorgeous shade of blue.  Hubby and I are now keeping our eyes open for a nearby nest.

Here comes the parade (Pt 2)

Here are some sights and sounds from the Parade.
