Happy March! Wednesday evening I went over to Light Bright's house, bringing plant cuttings for us to plant after dinner because her two-year-old, Corban, loves plants. Light Bright is on some sort of diet where she has to eat sixteen ounces of vegetables at dinner, so our dinner was a huge salad with just eggs on it. Then we planted the cuttings with Corban, who is super cute. After he went to bed, Light Bright suggested we have some crab dip and herb crackers, since - let's face it - a bunch of spinach and beets does not exactly fill a person up. Then we had deep, spiritual conversation.
Today I slept really late and didn't have time to clean before having to take my car in for its oil change. Travalon and I went for a walk on the boardwalk in McFarland, but he has a bad cold so we didn't go the whole way. Then we went to the zoo and spent a long time watching the red pandas. In the evening we went to the Mallards' duck blind for their fish fry. We had a great view of the field, and as darkness fell, the field was lit up with neon lights. The fried bluegill and potato pancakes were delicious, and there was a guy playing the guitar and singing classic rock songs. We had a great time, but poor Travalon was not feeling too well so we didn't stay too long.
Here are some pictures from today. First are some shots of me in front of flowers. They say the big thing now is to go to Hobby Lobby and take pictures in the fake flower aisle, and we were right next to Hobby Lobby, but in fact we were in Shopko. I took a selfie and Travalon took a picture of me, so you can decide for yourselves which you like better.
In the zoo gift shop we found some more stuffed red pandas, so Travalon got a big one and a really small one, and he said they were Randy and Andy's mother and little sister, Mandy and Candi. I suggested the little sister be named Shandi instead, and he went with that. Travalon is going to write their story, and then I will post it on this blog. Here they are: Shandi, Andy, Randy, and Mandy!
I also made a movie at the zoo, of a bittern standing on the path and whistling:
