This weekend was spent at Krewe Den working with the Costume Committee. I love working on costumes and the do-dads associated with costumes. The float is looking great. It's all coming together. I'm having more fun this year during the Mardi Gras season than I've had for several years. I think it's because all of the krewe is getting together at Krewe Den to work on the float and costumes and we are even having dance practice at Krewe Den. We all have such a good time together. It is a special time.
Our young krewe member, Monette, turned 40 last week. We gave her a surprise party yesterday. Several of the girls went in together and bought her a krewe jacket. She loved it. The cake was beautifully decorated with mermaids and under the sea motif. Best of all, she really was surprised.
Our Queen Doris XX also got her krewe jacket this past week. It's hard to believe this krewe has been together for 20 years. I've been with them for about 7 years now. It's a great krewe and a great season.
Of course, with the beautiful weather we have been having, both George and I have a serious case of spring fever. We have been working in the yard and in our gardens everyday.
The cabbage is growing. 
The onions are growing. 
We are having more broccoli for dinner tonight. 
The oregano is up. The radishes and lettuce are growing but not ready to harvest. 
The garlic is looking beautiful. 
The chard is beautiful. On top of that we have planted our seeds for the spring garden. 
The camellias are blooming and are beautiful, both the pink and the red. 
In fact, George is out in the yard now planting more seeds. Sure hope they grow.
