Enjoying the day

I'm enjoying a beautiful if not an occasionally wet spring day. I think, with crossed fingers, that spring has finally come to my part of Virginia. It has been so warm with a hint of a breeze that it just make you want to go outside and play. I'm still a little fuzzy with the pain killers that I'm on. So, I didn't go out to work in the yard or to start the garden. I look forward to the time when I'm no longer under the care of a Doctor. I have had 6 operations since Sept., all but one was related to my kidneys. The only good thing about it is that I still have both of my kidneys. They were not sure prior to my second to last operation if the left kidney was too damaged to keep, but it was fine.

I have been looking at garden books and flower catalogs, planning all the details of my garden. I'm having DH and DS to make me raised plants beds so that I will not have to bend to far. My DH is also making me more stepping stones and edges to make my garden a little bit of heaven. But before all this can be done and the garden started, the whole family will be doing a great deal of clearing of the backyard..

Tomorrow is DS birthday, so we will be doing something nice for him, but we are putting off the big plans that we had until I'm feeling up to traveling. We live in a medium size town so there isn't a lot for young people to do around here, so we go to the next largest city like Greensboro, NC or Roanoke, VA and Lynchburg, VA to go out to eat, shop the malls and just making it an all day party.

So until we meet again ~~smiles~~
