Saturday, March 31

The yard looked pretty good after Andy finished his mowing.

There is something about the first spring flowers that gets me excited.

The Virginia Bluebelles seemed to come up overnight

We were so looking forward to seeing little Evelyn, guess we have to wait a little bit longer.

What a week this has been. The weather has been a yo-yo with temperatures soaring to nearly 87 one day and dropping to below freezing the next. I was forced to do something I have never done before..... mowed my grass in March. It is unthinkable, I will be mowing for the next 6 months and with the price of gas nearing $4 that equates to a lot of money. We spent Sunday afternoon at the Madison County Hospital ER to find out what I suspected on Saturday, that Mr. B was suffering from a UTI. Nothing a good dose of antibiotic won't cure. The Buckeyes get a big win, the Tennessee Lady Vols lose to Baylor in what may have been Pat Summit's last game. Lily can't seem to shake her cold and ear infection and has not been able to get her final MIBG scan. In a week of ups and downs we didn't need to hear that Matt's leave to come home was rescinded 30 minutes after it was issued and he left yesterday morning on another deployment. Yes, it has been a week of ups and downs, but we will keep chugging along, counting our blessings and looking forward to a stress-free spring. Yea, right!
