The earliest Easter weekend for another 250 years, and it warmed up enough to start some bedding plants in the flowerpots. Pansys can even handle a bit of frost which is good because we're not quite through with it yet. Nevertheless, I also pruned most of the roses in the back yard.

We got a half-day holiday on Good Friday for which I was thankful enough. Santa Fe had its stories this week as (a) an 83 year-old lady beat off a youthful mugger who tried to take her purse at a gas station, and (b) two days before his 20-year retirement, a County Sheriff's deputy desiring a police radio in order to converse with his buddies after retirement, shoplifted one that was in a repair shop. The storekeeper missing the raido ran his security camera tapes to discover the theft. The deputy was promptly fired, but will probably get his retirement anyway. Budget requests for the next fiscal year were received by their due date on Thursday, so the work docket is full.

Jonathan now has an apartment with his friend Thomas at the Dorado apartments just up the street from Eldorado High School. In the picture, he is being picked up this morning for Church - he is attending the Young Adult's ward, at least for now. Just before, he discoverd an easter basket on his doorstep with some of his favorites: marshmallow peeps and Cadbury creme filled chocolate eggs.
