~Spring Is Sprung~

The past few days have been just great..up in the 70's and for

here that is pretty good..They say it will be a good week end

which being Easter Im glad..So many will be on the roads..and

Donnie & Dawn will be 2 of them..They are taking their Trailer

to a park for the week end just to get away, even taking the dog.
I dont think the cat will go tho..Donnie gets along better with

Jerky..lol...hes a gorgeous animal..chocolate Labrador and huge

for his age..a year old and close to 100 pounds...big dog...

I went out side to day and sat out by the conference room in the

sun..was nice to get out there..There is a patio out there that any

of us can use..not kept very neat or clean..and nothing to look at

at all but the parking lot of the apartments next door..If I went out

the other main door I would be sitting in the middle of the parking

lot looking at dumpsters for garbage..which is NOT a pretty site

or smell for that matter.. I do venture out of the building but as I

have said..the view from what ever door I go out is NOT the best..
Was good to feel the fresh air on me tho..I liked that..makes me

miss my Lanai for sure, specially my sweet smelling roses..

My favorite rose is the Yellow Peace, its so lovely..Well I love them

all but I just like the yellow. My sister has a gorgeous lavender or

pale purple rose that I have never seen before..and huge blooms

on it.. When I lived in Texas I had a cute house there and there was

lattice all on one end of the porch on the west side. I planted climbing

roses, red of course, there and that whole side was covered, when

they all bloomed it turned all red was just beautiful..Only problem was

the bees..and sometimes made it hard to sit out there..they loved

those roses.. When I had a birthday or for a gift everyone knew that

I loved roses and gave me rose bushes to plant in my rose gardens.

I had 2 out in front of the house there that were quite large and I

dont remember exactly how many different rose bushes I had there

but I know at least 6..they were just gorgeous...I need to find my

album and get some photos lol..

But I still could work in a garden outside..if it was a raised bed, and

I had one of those kids red flyer wagons..I could still scoot around

and tend to them..and carry all my little tools in the wagon next to

me.. I used to sit on the ground when I was going to do alot of work

in my gardens...and just scoot down the drive..I should have thought

of this idea then..saved alot of wear and tear on my hiney wouldnt it?

lol. I would have had the legs to propel my self around..and back then

I was having alot of trouble walking so thats why I scooted on the

ground..I wonder why I didnt think of getting a wagon? Hmmmm...I

was out there at least once a day at least. Not working the garden

but out there sitting. I never thought of that-now I wish I had. It was

hard even with legs to scoot down a paved driveway..on the grass

wasnt too bad at all..I liked sitting in the yard on the grass, was so

cool..and soft..specially after David cut it..I loved the smell of that

fresh cut lawn..we were very fussy about the yard and we were so

glad his sister was the same way when she moved in next door.

both our sides were identical..and she loved to garden too..and

did the same as I did and converted the end of her driveway .our

side was better tho..as we had the stockade fence on the other

side of the neighbors for more privacy and we had the wonderful

oak tree at the end of the drive in the back yard...Our side was

better for privacy and there were hedges that ran across the back

of the yard..was a great spot..Can you tell I miss that? lol.. :-)

Well Talking about missing stuff , I missed lunch was 3 different

kinds of salads today that this cook should NOT be allowed to make

it tastes so bad..So I didn't have lunch, I don't want alot..this flu is

still working out of my system..and I hate when I have to get up in

the middle of the night and make a mad dash to the bathroom..

its hard enough when I am awake and already in my chair..well

when I have to hurry and get into my chair out of a sound sleep is

when its kinda dangerous..many times my hand has slipped and

I have learned to make sure I have a good grip before I pull my

self backwards into my chair..and when I am all groggy its very

easy to not be careful..I hate when I fall asleep in the bathroom tho..

Makes my stumps ache something fierce.. thats what usually wakes

me up LOL.. well I sit backwards..facing the back..grab a towel, roll

it up..and lean forward...and fall asleep. im tired lol...and this is

not easy lol..Lord I just tell everything dont I ? lolol..well now you

know I sit backwards and slept on the potty...lol..nitey nite..:-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? LUV ya..and Thanks..:-)

Always, Lois****
