I received this picture with the following note:
"Lulu and Sockers caught together again, out on the front porch swing. Bobby keeps muttering that he needs to do something to get his "mojo" back and make Lulu notice him again. We hope he doesn't do anything drastic."



HL very bravely shepherded the flock to highschool for their first (and probably last visit.)
Lulu took the time to catch up on her reading in the library. You will notice she has acquired more
"bling" in the form of a lovely new ear dangle.)



HL included lots of photos of her madcap crew with the sheep, but I have qualms about posting the photos of minors without their parents' permission. What a bore I am!

Especially since HL documented Bobby's attempt to do something to get his mojo back and attract Lulu's attention. Bobby consulted with a young man who also happens to be a piercing technician of sorts.
A nipple ring? Bobby, what were you thinking?!?!

And will it do the trick? Time alone will tell. Will Lulu fall for that risk-taking, self-mutilating, anything-for-love approach?




Meanwhile, it's being April full bore around here. I got outside during a sun-break between the rain showers to get some pretty color for you folks in the beleagured states.

The apple tree is in bloom. The pear tree is covered with blossoms. And the rain and hail are beating them to bits just as soon as they open.
This is the first year I have grown tulips, and I am thrilled to see that they close up when the rain starts thundering down. I didn't know they could do that!
