While its hard for me to see my mom, its always fun & exciting too. Since I didn't grow up with her around, I tend to get a little star struck. As a kid I always felt it took most of the summer for me to get comfortable being around her and then it would be time to leave.
We planted a flower garden that I'd been struggling with for the past couple years. I've finally learned that I need to do most of my rigorous garden work in April and May before it gets too hot to be out planting and digging for hours on end. So, this year I'll have a beautiful full grown garden for Spring and Summer! I'm trying a couple new plants like Portulaca and Straw Flower. Wish me luck.
Clementine Petunia, the puppy, is growing fast. She is a firecracker, full of energy and spunk, but she's also affectionate and snuggly. Harvey has grown into a good, adult Dobie. He's given up many of his annoying puppy behaviors (thank god!), and likes to show Clementine how to be a good dog.
I've got some unknowns coming ahead: my liver enzymes have started to creep up, and this will probably mean I'll have to stop my interferon treatments, at least the injections I've been taking. We'll see what the plan is in June and come up with a game plan then. I haven't had much in the way of accumulating symptoms, but certainly my weight gain has made me wonder if metabolism isn't on the decline.
My husband and I have a trip planned to Montreal early in the summer, and we're excited to get out and have some fun in a new and exciting city.
Hope you're having a great Spring too!
