We’ve had hot summers but then we usually do. Just not out of hand like you’ve had lately. Still miserable enough because we have humidity added to it. But that’s summer.

We do have the pollen and there’s plenty right now. Everything is going crazy this year. I noticed my little red dogwood is really loaded with buds. It’s going to be gorgeous when they bloom next month.

[E.G.C.]

Yep, you sure do.

Good Morning Kathy! (((Hugs))) Yeah, gotta be smart around stuff like that. Right now weather wise we’re having heavy rain and wind, great day to stay inside. I’m on flight status starting the 1st. of April. Yea!!!

[Tanniker Smith]

Good morning, luv!

Good morning, all!

Rainy here in NYC. Hope it's better elsewhere.

Hey there, Tann! Sorry it’s raining on you, but I wouldn’t mind having some here. We’ve barely had an inch since January. Well, of course, we do live in the desert, but still.....

Have a great weekend! Any fun plans in store?

[luvie]

Hey there, Early Birds!
Wow! Aren't our troops working hard?
And they do it ALL for all of us.
That just makes me feel so humbled.
Hope all y'all have a Thank-The-Troops Thursday!
It's warmish and sunny here.
(((hugs)))

We had Easter with the family on Saturday. It was a quiet Sunday until I got a manuscript back from my editor — and then it got a lot busier!

[luvie]

Sounds like a lovely weekend...and I hope your burst of work means that the manuscript is on its way to being published!

[Tanniker Smith]

i’m hoping that, too.

Hopefully before the end of the year.

[luvie]

Fingers crossed for it to happen!
