I am having my coffee. Thank you so much for all the birthday wishes and congratulations. It has been a very big busy 6 days. Lucy was kept in the NICU all this time. They wanted to make sure she was okay. She had a feeding tube in through her nose to feed her if she did not take enough bottle. They took that out yesterday. The plan is for her to go home today. Penny has been doing great. DD so sore and could not climb her stairs to sleep in her bed, so she has been sleeping on the couch. I slept in a chair the first night to help her. Her husband has 2 weeks off from work, so that will help. I have been watching the 3 kids at my house off and on. My grandson was sick at the beginning of this with a cold and yesterday both girls woke up sick. I am hoping I can escape that. I have managed to keep my plants going. I will show pictures of the 2 when they are together. Not many good pictures yet of Lucy since she had the tube in her nose. Not identical, so that is kind of fun. Hopefully, I will be in my garden working while DD's husband is home to help and let the kids stay home and rest and get well. Thank you all so much again1

Sending you all healing thoughts

And, before editing, I had the image twice!
After 2 March days above 70⁰f (21⁰C), waiting a month to hit that milestone a few times in April, we had an 80⁰ (27C) yesterday afternoon. I kept telling myself that I was a "California Boy" while I mowed the lawn a day earlier than planned because the WS had predicted rain for the weekend. Now
, they have lowered the chance to 20%. Looks like I jumped the gun on that task as the rainstorms hug the east side of the Cascades. I don't know. It is stormy to the south and that often blows a little towards the WA/ID border 
.Anyway, I put 1 tomato plant in the ground after the afternoon mowing. Right up against the side of the house and into some very questionable soil. The location has been solely for potted plants because I questioned that soil there against a concrete foundation. No unusual amount of gravel but messy soil and I felt compelled to dig down 20+" since the plant will have little horizontal root space. Its cage will have to be substantial to keep it out of a path and growing as vertically
as possible. Now to decide if I want to do one more tomato beside it 
.No nearby temperatures below 50f (10C) this morning but we go right back to the possibility of thermometers dropping into the 30's F after the weekend. It will be easy to cover 1 or 2 little tomatoes

Coffee is ready.
@Gardening with Rabbits thanks for the update.
There’s a Bluegrass festival in Nacogdoches this afternoon and evening. I’m gonna go and enjoy the music.
