Greetings from Bellevue

Adam drove Haley to the airport very early Saturday morning, though she'll hopefully be back next month. The rest of us slept late, then did a bunch of chores while watching the Orioles' first spring training game, which it turned out we could get on the MLB Channel though Kate caught me up on it before we realized we could tune in. Our neighbors pointed out that there were raccoons sleeping in the trees, the younger of which woke up and did a lot of climbing and wrestling, which annoyed the otters, who came out of the water to chase them back up trees! 

After lunch, we went to Bellevue to enjoy the weather, and to see the animals at Kelsey Creek Farm and the flowers at Bellevue Botanical Gardens. There are lots of daffodils, many blooming trees, and buds on dozens of bushes, plus some singing frogs hiding in the grass. We stopped at Safeway on the way home and ate dinner watching the SAG Awards, which I mostly enjoyed (RDJ, Lily, Barbra, Ali, Da'Vine), and now we're watching Hallmark's Sense and Sensibility, which is really delightful; I love the actresses and the story feels weightier with race factored in to the class issues.
