Tomorrow, Bel, Folke and their friend leave. I want to say that we spent today doing fun things together. They spent time doing last minute adjustments to the bus and packing. I tried not to get in the way. It was a beautiful day and the first day of spring. Since the Daylight Savings Time began last week, the sun is out much later. It is always such an adjustment. I spent part of the day replanting some of the seeds I planted a few weeks ago that sprouted. Basil, parsley and thyme are now potted and back in the basement. This kept me happily busy outside for a little while and I could say hi to them as they worked on the bus or packed things into it. Other things that made me happy on International Happiness Day:
- It was a friend that I used to work with that inspired me to go through a box every day for Lent to get rid of things. Sometimes I remember to post to the little group of us that are trying to get rid of one thing a day. The box I sorted for downsizing today included a doll from my childhood. I sent the picture to the group and that baby doll has been claimed. She will have a new home with my friend's granddaughter. How cool is that?

| I think her name was Betsy. |
- Bel and Folke had two plants when they came here. Since the cats arrived and tried eating the plants, I have been keeping them downstairs with the seedlings. Today I think I found a way to keep the plants relatively safe in the bus as they travel. I put some packing material around them and put them into a container, smaller, but similar to the one I am growing spinach in. Hopefully this will keep them safe from the bounces and cold nights.

| This is a bit less transparent than the one the spinach is in. It will at least allow them to take the plants on their journey. |
- I sewed my hair up this morning. It is getting long enough that the braids don't keep the length out of things. I really enjoy how it feels when it is attached to my head without a hair clamp. If only my hair didn't start falling out on the second day.

| I should make some googly eye pins so I can have a smiley face from behind. 😜😉😂🤣😂 |
- After dinner we all gathered around the table for a very hilarious game of Snake Oil. It was great fun and I am glad we all got to play together before they leave.
- Just as the sun was starting to set I went for a quick walk out back to get a better view.

| I'm gonna miss these snuggle bugs. |
