Diane's comment "never "too late" but it might be "too early", is absolutely correct. Just ask all those who pruned too early last year and got caught by the Easter Freeze. Following is a link to the Raleigh RS monthly guide for growing roses the Raleigh area. Here is a link that might be useful: Monthly guide

I haven't been painting either. Been running the roads. ha Spent Fri shopping for DH's b-day. They had a bbq for all the people who were in the Arby's holdup I told you about and my DH volunteered to do the cooking so everyone could visit. I spent Sat working in the yard and making potato salad and prepping meat for the bbq Sat night. Sunday b-day party. Then yesterday my DB was off so we had lunch with him and ran errands with him. We stopped in a TS and I found a big sign that goes with my red,white and blue. I'll have to take a picture later to show you. I was sooo excited to find it. I've got to get my house cleaned today so I can go do some shopping for DH tomorrow. He's leaving to go to Chicago on Fri for work. The fence people are coming Thurs or Fri to put in the panels and finish up so I'll have to be home those days. I may be able to get some painting done then. I am trying to get a few things made up to give to my DB & SIL as a housewarming gift. Ever made a barbed wire wreath before? It ain't easy. ha They decorate western theme. Waiting for some horseshoes from a friend to finish that up. Trying to find some boots at the TS to plant for their front porch. Do you know if and when I find them if I should drill holes in bottom of the boot for drainage? Anyway, busy as always. The next weekend we'll be going on a little mini vacation so I'll be getting ready for that. I thought summer would be more relaxing, but obviously not. ha It's good that you are at least getting to spend some quality time with GD. Did you do any fun shopping or was it have to shopping? ha I saw some of your fun TS finds over on Holidays the other day, but don't remember if I got to post or not. ha Well, I guess it's time to don my maid uniform and get busy cleaning this pigsty. I don't know how it manages to get so messy when we haven't been home very much. ha The gremlins must have been having a party while we were out. :) I'll be back to post that sign pic later. ~Anj

Thank you so much to each and every one of you. I knew that his time was limited before, but not this bad and probably not this short. The cancers started on his head due to the anti-rejection medication he had to take after the heart transplant a little over ten years ago. They switched him to the original anti-rejection medication that was replaced by the current one. Its all been squamish cell carcinoma. I think that's the spelling of it. He's had several years of surgeries on his head as Mustang knows because we were in the Tampa area for one of the surgeries and she graciously offered to help me. I will forever be thankful to you. You make sure your DH keeps on top of them. I'm strong and have been through similar situations with my grandmother, mother and aunt. I've always been the soother and caretaker of the sick and dying in my family. For the most part I stay strong and this will be a little different, but I have to stay strong and calm for him. Yes, l pinkmountain, cancer sucks! I am trying to figure out a way to get him back to Florida for as long as necessary because he is always cold here and wants to be there. Anyone know anything about the MacDill AFB FamCamp. Since we are both veterans and he is rated at 100% service connected disabled, we could possibly stay there. Hugs to all of you, my friends. Madonna
