It's Here!

0:00.
The countdown is over and it is officially the first day of S P R I N G !!!

...and wouldn'tcha know, it's densely foggy, cold, and going to rain this weekend. The last several days have truly been springlike. Sunny, warm, green, gorgeous. Oh, fickle spring!

(Duff flew home this morning. Mike went and picked him up. He got the soil in the last box in the garden turned over and now we are ready to plant. We called and called to see if J.T. could come with us to get the plants and seeds. He is going to help us with the garden and use it as a part of his science section for school. But they might be gone because we never heard back. We'll try again in the morning. Then we headed out to the small garage and worked some more on our emergency prep/food storage cupboards. We got all our canning jars and equipment straightened up, boxed and put away nicely. OH, HOW I LAMENT NOT HAVING A BASEMENT FRUIT ROOM! Those of you who do have them, please promise me that you will use them,keep them orderly, clean and tidy and peek in once a day to say how grateful you are to have one! Don't take them for granted! Christine's teeth are feeling better. Just in time to start hurting all over again come Wednesday when she gets all the wires on. Cody was up for the evening while the family was at the school play. He and Christine had a nice time playing DDR and watching tv and playing the violin. Not bad for the 1st day of Spring!)
