Spring update.

So...we haven't posted for a while. We've been busy this spring with enjoying the weather (note the black hole cloud that appeared above our house last weekend!). Fun stuff. It didn't turn out to be a tornado, but it gave us something to talk about for sure.Janice was busy propagating plants for the annual city-wide garage sale. She managed to collect plants for several friends and then potted them for sale to benefit a young couple who is preparing to serve full-time with Campus Crusade. She sold them for $1, $2, and $3 and brought in $60. We're also enjoying watching our garden grow potatoes, cabbage, spinach and onions. Last week we purchased some tomato plants as well as several kinds of peppers that we'll plant this week when it dries out a little. It's been fun to see our property begin to really take shape. Now all we need is some real grass!
We couldn't pass up posting a picture of Bella with her (she thinks) new toy. It has since been hidden away in the front bedroom to be used for its intended purpose as a trash can. Bella is in her second session of puppy school right now - they call it Puppy Jr. High. It fits. What a zoo on Tuesday nights. But she's learning more and more and turning in to a great pet.

Darn. I totally miss gardening. Looks like fun.

Hi, Janice: In response to your question on my blog about Susan Harper, yes I am the Cindy at her chemo, trying to name all the different chemo rooms. Love the pictures of your clouds. Gotta say, I sure miss a rip-roaring thunderstorm...but NOT the tornado watch that usually follows.

That picture of the clouds is so scary! Take March 27th off of your calendar... we are going to have to change it, Andrew is attending lineman school in LA for 6 months and it will be unpaid so we are going to have to move things back!!!
