Easter grass

Easter is next week, and it is the time to sow Easter grass.



Eggie: You guys can do all the dirty work, I'm already dressed up for Easter.

Rastaban: Hmph...



Eggie: Do we have enough seeds? - Algol, do't mess up the seeds with that rake. Rastaban, don't pour the water in before I've finished sowing.

Rastaban: Hmph...



Eggie: Now we just sit here and watch the grass grow.

Rastaban: Hmph...

The littlest vampire in snow

Rastaban, the littlest vampire wanted to go out to see the snow before it melts. As it is overcast today, I assumed it was safe for a little vampire to go out in the daylight. Rastaban borrowed some clothes (a bit too big, I'm afraid) and went exploring.

It snowed yesterday and last night, so there was a layer nice new snow covering the grainy and icy old snow, and the temperature was slightly above freezing - perfect weather for making snow men - or snow vampires.




And then the littlest vampire wanted to make a snow angel...

It does not look like spring yet.



Rastaban, the littlest vampire.



It's overcast, so the sky looks white.



I think the vampire is starting to look sleepy. It's past noon already, so it is probably past his bedtime - or at least nap time.

Motorists

The littlest scamps have found something interesting...

Rastaban: Look! A motorcycle! Let's take it on a test drive...

Algol: Can you drive?

Rastaban: Sure, it can't be that hard...



Rastaban: Wait! You must push to get this thing started.



Rastaban: Push harder!

Algol: I'm pushing...



Rastaban: Harder!



Algol: nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggh


But the owner of the motorcycle is not far away...

Deimos: What's going on here?



Deimos: What are you two doing with my bike?



Rastaban: We are taking it for a test drive. But Algol is not pushing hard enough.



Algol: Aaauuugh, these socks are too slippery!



Deimos: You are too small to drive. Get into the side car. Algol, too. This thing won't need pushing to get started.


So the little scamps get a ride after all...




Rastaban & Algol: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....
