Thursday was a long,soft rain. Friday was torrential but intermittent with a lot of run-off but no flooding here of the creeks(closest to me). But for what's died, the lawn looks almost spring green!

Just remember that she would want you to remember her with a smile on your face remembering all the happy times...Oh she will want to know that you will miss her but she will want to know that it is with love and not sadness...so make sure your heart is full of love and keep thinking wonderful thoughts of her in your heart so that the tears will go away quickly.

I love these "visual" vacations I get to take every day.....I've said this before, but I really look forward to seeing everyone's pictures....Oh I want to go to the beach!

Well, the month is coming to an end. All of our beautiful spring flowers are in bloom here so I really enjoy this time of the year. Our local vocational school always has a spring plant sale and I was lucky to notice the sign on Fri. when it was the last day. I found several great plants. One was a pack of tomato plants labeled Tough Boy. I bought them since maybe they can handle our tough summer weather. Has anyone else grown these before? I also got some coleus, a verbena, a geranium and sweet potato vine. I bought some seeds from Baker Creek a few days ago since I noticed they had a special event where they would donate to flood victims based on the sales during those days. My family has been visiting and everyone has headed for home. I sure will miss them. Yesterday we got out to the farm and the granddaughters and I rode my older horse. (The children get led and we all wore our helmets.) I haven't ridden for about 2 years so it was great to ride again and my horse seemed to be happy to have riders! The younger horse got worked in the round pen. I hope to start riding her soon. She used to stay at a walk when I rode her, but I haven't been on her for about 3 years so we'll see if she can still behave. I'll start a FOTESS heading for April where we can just chat and share pictures. More doctor's appointments ahead. I did get the results of my biopsy and I don't have the more serious condition that they were worried about so I guess we keep trying to find out what the issue is --- or at least get it treated to the extent that I may not care what it is. See everyone in April! Jeanne
