Default Spring - Maybe

Noticed this morning returning from my ophthalmology appointment that
the oak trees are budding up. The kumquat tree was frost bit last month
and has dropped some leaves but is budding out again. The pear and fig
haven't started leafing out as yet. I did get out and prune the pear
tree so I suspect it will probably start flowering next month if not
sooner.

Finally decided to get handicap plates and not use hang tags anymore.
Doctors think I need to use a cane regularly now and they suspect I will
be in a wheel chair in a few more years and I hope they're wrong about
the wheel chair and I really hope I get a few more years. G

The dawg still has allergies and takes some expensive meds that don't
seem to be working. I follow her around with tissues as the Boss Lady
gets PO'ed when the dawg snots on the furniture and floors. She wasn't
upset that children, grands, and great grands dropped something on the
floor. G

Spring is nearly sprung and I can't wait.

Little concerned with warm days here as they are too early and buds on
fruit trees like peach can be lost resulting in a poor crop.
