Ringgold

I live on the outskirts of a small southern town. Unless you are traveling along I75 and want to stop for a meal, gas or place to sleep you'd probably never know anything about it.

Well my little town has been devastated by a tornado. At least 8 dead that they have confirmed.

One of my co-workers lives on the other side of Ringgold-she's okay but her house has damage.

My heart goes out to all the people in Miss, Alabama, Tennessee, GA, VA etc.

Dogwood Winter


I guess I'm beginning to sound like my southern grandmothers. But its that "spell" of weather after it was warmed up and everyone got their spring/summer clothes out (you can go from winter to summer clothing here in a day) and it gets cold again. Then the dogwoods start to bloom.




My mom is getting better. She is in rehab. This has been a slow recovery for her. She has speech, occupational and physical therapy. Her appointment with the oncologist is next Friday (my granddaughter's birthday).
The azeleas are JUST beginning to bloom.

Spring is beautiful here.

I've been out pulling weeds, pulling up dry leaves, stalks, etc from the flower beds.

My mom is still in the hospital. She's having trouble walking so they want to send her to rehab. But of course insurance has a say in that. So we're waiting.

A sunny Saturday




I NEED sunshine in my life.

My mom had surgery on Thursday and did okay. The doctor had to remove 1/2 of her tongue. That just makes me cringe. She looked a lot better yesterday than she did the day of surgery.

He's not sure if she will need radiation or not (I hope not) and path isn't back on the lymph nodes.

I'm watching the robins in the back yard.

Sunshine and robins make me think things will get better for many including all those people in Japan. What a horrible thing to happen.

Spring



Along with the flowers comes the pollen. So I'm coughing and coughing, sneezing, have itcy, watery eyes.

I could be a commercial for an allergy product.
