We had snow here a couple of days ago that even managed to stick around for a few days. Last night we had one heck of a rain and wind storm that washed it away which was fortunate, because I had a BUNCH of tulip, crocus, iris, anemone, hyacinth and allium bulbs/corms that needed to get into the ground. I planted most of them this morning before getting ready to go to work. While I was outside enjoying the bright sunshine and relatively warm temperatures, a bunch of geese honked their way overhead, then there were 3 bald eagles squawking and chirping while they flew around the neighborhood for awhile.

My thoughts are with my family down south right now, my aunt has just received a diagnosis of ovarian cancer (This is the aunt who recently lost a husband and sister to lung Ca). "They" think she has about 5 years . . . I'm sure it could have been a worse diagnosis, but it is still not something anyone would have chosen. Fortunately, my Mom and her friend Debbie (a former oncology nurse) are there to give her the physical and emotional support she will need.

Adam will be 20 tomorrow, so we will be doing the American Thanksgiving thing in conjunction with his birthday celebration tomorrow evening.
