can spring be far behind?

Mom had her stitches out yesterday.  She still is not interested in eating, refusing or spitting out what she doesn't like or want.  The surgeon said her primary doctor should have prescribed the age old formula for  getting an appetite back.....a sip of brandy every night, thought that was good, but how much is a sip?LOL

We are moving through each day alone, we only have one hour of help three days a week and we never know when that help will arrive.  I guess the good Lord knows how much I can handle.

Today was a beautiful spring day.  The bulbs are coming up and we need another bit of rain to start the other plants greening up.  I probably will have many marigolds since I put all the plants in the flower beds and the plants were covered with seed pods.  We have used leaves, coffee grounds, egg shells and pecan shells for mulch this year.  I wonder how this will turn out.

The cats, kittens, and plants, make our lives beautiful.

I had an oral surgeon that used to recommend rinsing with Jack Daniels, then swallow. <grin>
