Roseanne Roseannadanna had it right. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. I am grateful to own a couple of vehicles, but wouldn’t you know, two were on the blink in the same day. Everyone should have such problems! The good news was, however, it forced me to stay home and tend my own garden.

Nature is so forgiving. The fields and roadsides have greened up this past week as if they never knew winter. Let me say, in defense of cold, dreary weather, my snowdrops and crocus have been looking great for three weeks. I remember a few years ago my tulips were coming into full bloom and we had a record 90-degree day. They promptly fried and were gone by the next morning.

I try to make the illustrations match the written word. I give Seniel a word or two hint and she comes up with something appropriate. It is always a surprise to me when I get the Gazette on Friday. She e-mails to the Gazette, while I, on the other hand, typewrite the content and someone is kind to pick it up. Two weeks ago I mentioned raking until my arms no longer worked. The picture did not make it until last week. I cracked up to see the rake with dismembered arms.
