DOA On TV The Rookie, Will Trent, Matlock, Jumanji : Welcome to the Jungle

 


The Rookie  Out Of Time

Nolan has to protect serial killer Glasser as part of a deal between the long suffering killer and the LAPD.   Tim gets his grandmother’s gaudy purple wedding ring from his mom to propose to Lucy with.  Wesley and former DA Del Monte get a disastrous first case as defense attorneys in their new law practice.  A bit of a filler episode.

 

Will Trent  Our Last Dance

The department says their goodbyes to Amanda, and Will desperately tries one last time to find his uncle.  Sad of course, but I'm still mad they killed Amanda off.

 

Matlock    Two Hour Finale Episodes:  Who Are You, and Matty Matlock

In the season two finale, it’s revealed that Senior has been faking his dementia.  Matty, Julian and Olympia try to figure out a way to prove Senior paid to have the Wellbrexa study removed, though he has had it put back in the files.

Never fear, Julian sacrifices himself by getting a bugged confession out of his father, which implicates all of the senior partners.  They are all arrested by episode's end, including Julian and Senior.

Matty and Olympia will be starting their own law firm, and Matty will continue to operate as Matty Matlock rather than under her real name.

The show won’t be on till mid-season next year, as the showrunner wanted more time to get a new mystery set up and to tie up all of the details from this season’s reveals.

 

Tossed in at the end of the week, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle with Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillian, Jack Black and Kevin Hart as in game avatars of a set of teens who fall into the game while doing detention in the school basement.  Unexpectedly hilarious.  It’s just the sort of funny, feel good movie I needed this week.

Rime any time bait nor to can.  Time and tide wait for no man.

DOA In The Garden End of Day 4/22/26

 


I didn't get the center vegetable garden done.  I thought I had best finish uncovering my perennial beds so they could get sun and rain and air.  Also, I am terrible about getting things potted up in a timely manner, so I potted up all but one of the annuals (a red petunia that didn't look so red when closed, but now fully open, it's really red.) How to work it's color into all of my pastels?

The picture I have for you tonight is the bulk of my Frog Corner frog collection.  Always charming!

Some unexpectedly cool night temps are coming over the next few days, so I'll need to bring my plants in at night to be sure they are doing ok.  It's a ritual at this time of year.  I'm hoping tomorrow's rain comes late, so I can get that veg garden.  If not, I'll wait a few days for the soil to dry out.

I love springtime.

DOA in the Garden 4/22/26 Start of the Day

 Uncovering the garden still, but the layout of the beds is what I want. I’m tackling the center veg bed today. Lots of raking out, using an edger for the Freeform border (for now), and after getting as many nasty tree roots out of the way as possible, I’ll use my new tiny tiller to make the bed really nice.

End of day pics later, I hope.
