Yesterday, John treated me to a lovely Mother's Day. We went to see Star Treck, in the VIP section of the Phoenix Theatre at the Legends in Kansas City, Kansas. I love the VIP section. It's very pricey, but you have to be over 21, the seats are humongous, leather easy chairs and you can order drinks and food from the very nice usher/waitpersons there. It's quite posh.
And it was even better because the movie was really good! Now, don't let physics get in your way with this one, just sit back and enjoy it. It may be a prequal, but it leaves room for plenty of sequels of its own.
We did not go out to eat, because I got the stupid headache and fever that seem to be associated with whatever it is I am taking antibiotics for. At least no more fever! YAY! So we came home, and I was in bed by 5:00 pm, and John made me an ice cream sundae for dinner. :)
The weather this morning is lovely. My headache is barely there - just in the background - so I hope to get about 1,000 onion sets planted this morning. When I'm done with that (after, of course, I feed, water and care for the birds, goats, horses and Buffy), I'm going to get my really nifty disc cultivator that attaches to our Polaris Ranger and disc the heck out of the nice garden area that John prepped for me yesterday. It was plowed in the winter, and John has spent a couple of days knocking the dirt off the high points and leveling it all with the landscape box on the tractor. Now, I just need to cultivate it a bit deeper, and I should be able to do that with the disc tongue set at a steeper slope.
Then, if I have time, I'll plant, plant plant some more. Seeds. Lot's of beans, peas, etc.
I also have a lot of plants to set out. Brussels sprouts for John. He loves his Brussels sprouts, he do! Cantaloupe, cayenne peppers, other stuff.
It's such a gorgeous spring morning, so bright and full of promise for a good day of working with the land, that you can't help but to thank the Good Lord for such a wonderful life.

Just as long as we don’t get cucaloupes this year…
Sweet! My Mother’s Day was similar. We (me, Keith, and the boys) finished up the wedding invitations and then went to see Star Trek. It was AWESOME. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
Oh, and Keith and I both love brussel sprouts too. I like to fix them sauted in butter, lemon and garlic. yummmmmm I like to fix asparagus the same way- and it’s the only way the kids will eat asparagus.
I love high-end theater going. The Hubster and I treated ourselves to one of the Village Roadshow/Gold Class theaters a couple of months ago - what a treat!
Our Mother’s Day consisted of taking Mom-in-law to dinner along with little sis, visiting for the weekend. Good food, good company - all great.
Glad you had a good day :-)
Heh. Now I know what’s wrong with The Armorer: he likes Brussels sprouts. What’s up with that?
Hope you’re feeling better SWWBO. (YOu need older grand kids, that way they can Labor while you putter gardening.) ;)
John LOVES brussels sprouts - and I have found a good way to cook them - saute them!
…with bacon!
Pork fat rulez!
