April First

What a silly title, but perhaps not. We have to have April first, then May. Ah, May! I hope that by the time you dance into being, you won't be wearing snow boots and parka. I just read through a gardening blog, and enjoyed the colour of flowers, and the hope of spring.

The sun is shining this morning and there is a faint blue sky. The tons of snow along the roadsides has become a grey and black mess. It is, however melting, but it looks so unsightly.

My youngest daughter told me that I had been very 'quiet' lately, and I guess I have. March was a difficult month to get through, and I realized that I hadn't painted, written very much, or felted. I do admit that I had several afternoon naps.........does that mean I wasted a lot of hours?

If I feel down, I only need to go to her blog, https://ironwoodfarm.wordpress.com/ and look at the little lambs, new spring life. Beautiful babies.

I started this early this morning, and now it is evening, so I shall bring this to a quick close for now.

Here are a few pictures of my dear little Sadie. She has had a difficult few weeks, but she is stronger than I ever realized. She's my girl!

She isn't quite as bright eyed as she once was, but if I had had 5 seizures in a row,

and what seemed to me like a stoke, I might not be bright eyed either. That was three weeks ago and she has gotten stronger, which is amazing, and we are still just taking

one day at a time.

Cheers for now, and here's to Spring!
