Hi Everyone!

Betsi, please take pictures! What a nice trip!

We are having signs that spring is coming. There are birds singing, chipmunks running around, and deer out. I saw geese out yesterday too. Sadly, road kill is an indication that spring is here because it means that the animals are coming out of wherever they go for the winter, and I have seen some of that too.

I planted a couple of tiny pots of Forget me Nots, and I see tiny shoots coming up! There is still a lot of snow around, but it is melting, so I can plant my bulbs soon.

It's a beautiful, sunny day today. I can't put plants out on the deck yet, but as soon as the temperature stays above freezing, I will plant my boxes and set out the indoor plants. I have last year's fuscia plant in my pantry. It is very cold in there, and I cut back all of the branches on the fuscia last fall. I checked it out online and it said to only water it to keep the wood from drying out. There are lots of new stems coming up. I'll cut them off; they are too sun poor. I'll put it out when it gets much warmer. I think it might make it through another summer!

I am very excited!

Wow Judy! After all of that snow, I wondered if you'd EVER thaw out. lol! I'm glad you are seeing and feeling Spring!
Fredricksburg is a small German town that comes to life every Spring with the wildflowers. It's a few hours drive from here, but well worth the trip! It's in the Texas Hill Country, not too far from Gayle.

I've seen the bluebonnets in the spring in Texas and they are beautiful!!! I remember driving around Austin and seeing them in between the roads!! I've seen some signs of spring here.......the daffodils are budding out.....so it won't be long until we have some color showing up!!! I'm ready for spring!!

WHEW! We have run errands all day in the rain, trying to get things ready to return to the lake tomorrow. It is supposed to be in the low 70's and sunny the rest of the week! YAY!

We just realized today that Gary's insulin will be delivered on Thursday (we leave tomorrow which is Wednesday). It is sent by 24 hour delivery by UPS in a cold pack. It usually ships on the 17th, we get it on the 18th of every month. The UPS guy just leaves it on the front porch. Welllll - - we won't be here day after tomorrow (delivery day) so Gary is over at the neighbors asking him to pick it up and put it in his refrigerator (insulin has to be kept refrigerated). I called the company today, but it was already in packaging, too late to stop delivery. I sure am glad we remembered! WHEW!

We will pick Gary's sister up at 10:30 tomorrow morning and then head south! I'll be reading the forum till Sunday when we return - but won't post because the phone system is just too slow!

I have my camera laid out to take, now, if I can just remember to take some pictures!!!

I absolutely love reading everyone's posts. We too are seeing some signs of spring...I'm glad everyone else is too. It's about time.

I forgot about this thread when I posted about Lynne and I going wine tasting on Saturday. Let's see....what else has been going on... Monday I had to go to the bank and do errands...also had to take an inventory of how much fluid supply Mother has. She seems to forgot how to count ...lol. Tuesday I got my hair cut, today I had to take Penny to the Vet for her annual. Tomorrow I take Mom to the Dr. and then on Friday...I go to the dentist again. I'm not going to make any appointments for next week though. It's spring break next week...so not sure what I'll do having the place to myself. Need to get the yard cleaned up...need to clean closets and drawers...so much to do...so little time....oh and I almost forgot...still need to do Ricky and Mom's taxes.

I think that after spring break....I'm going to need a vacation...lol
