March 2017 was a real teaser. We said good-bye to February amid the beautiful flowering trees, tulips pushing through the soil and promise of an early Spring. Unfortunately, true to his word and reputation, the groundhog was right! Six more weeks of Winter from February 2, through most of March. March decided to howl, drop temperatures below freezing, and drop a beautiful snow on all those lovely trees.
So here were are, April 1st, and according to the calendar, Spring has arrived. It is beautiful and Sunny today, but the slight breeze reminds us that our weather is still fickle here in North Carolina. Somehow my colorful tulips managed to stay upright in spite of the strong wind and storms we had on Thursday night. It seems our flowers wherever planted become the favored resting place for our two dogs and one cat. Lee had someone to place a border around the iris beds and tulips, but we had to do a lot of scolding before they finally learned to stay away!
Lee is doing very well, again with the exception of those nasty cancers that continue to appear from time to time on his face, ears head, neck and sometimes arms and hands. We have not kept count, but between the precancerous lesions and the cancers we estimate at least one hundred since 2014. The latest one was on his right ear. It was not squamous cell but was basal cell. The Moh's procedure took most of the day, and he did experience a lot of pain.
(Lost this blog shortly after I began writing. I said yes to a dropped box when I should have said No).. After consulting my computer-smart daughter to try to recover, she gave up after an hour and asked me to try her brother. I took my laptop to him and after telling me my laptop (7 years old) was out of date, he finally found the problem. My security system was protecting me and blocked any entry to the blogger!
All is repaired and will now go to the next month of April and a new blog to bring you up to date!
