It's Spring! It's Spri...It's SPRINTER?

Seriously, folks. Saturday was gorgeous and I got sunburned. I planted tomatoes, fixed the flat bike tire (with Jeff's assistance...hee hee hee), got freon in the A/C for the Joey car (also with Jeff's help) and chatted with half the neighbors on the street who were all out planting, weeding, mowing and fixing.

That was just three days after the hailstorm came to town on a Pecos Bill wind-tunnel and blew our fence down. It snapped the fence posts at the base and left us with cement in the ground and a wide open yard...now we need to mow the back yard every week because the entire neighborhood can see it!

So, Saturday...sunburn, tomatoes, bikes...yummy day.

This week...snow, sun, snow, rain.

Today...wind that wasn't quite Pecos Bill, but very close, (what was his girlfriend's name? Slue-foot Sue?), HAIL, and sunshine.

I love the weather in Utah. You just can't be bored with it. Maybe my flowers will survive and my 'maters won't freeze.

Some spring pictures I took on Saturday to remind me that summer is just around the corner. Right?:

Dear Maddie,

I hope you will always be happy and ALWAYS have a nice, warm sweater when you need it. I have sent an order to Crystl to have her make this one for you.

Love, Mom
