What a weekend!!

I love the fact that Deon can fix, install, build, design, etc anything we need, but I hate the fact that when he does a project, he usually gets hurt. At the trailer he did the wood fence and then blew his knee up skiing, then the tile...shoulder surgery and the chain link fence up front of the trailer, a really really bad bloody nose that required having to go to a specialist. It's awful, but hasn't changed getting into a house. Last Sunday, he finished putting in our new doors, and Friday....we had to run him to the VA Hospital Emergency room. While we was putting in the doors, he knelt on something that caused a microscopic cut on his left knee...by Friday, his leg was swollen from the knee down, and red and hot to the touch. They gave him an iv, and he got to keep it until Sunday morning. Both Saturday and Sunday we had to go clear back up to the VA and get his IVs done. I am thinking that I am going to have to learn how to do some home improvements so that Deon don't have to do it and get an injury. LOL...just kidding!! We want the home improvements to be done right, I am not sure I can get them done right. Thankfully they removed the iv yesterday and he seems to be doing a lot better. It just scares me when the doctor says "either sit and keep your leg up or die from the infection"

Hope you all had an uneventful weekend

Spring??

Well, I posted earlier about the first signs of Spring in Utah...well since then it has snowed twice and been raining for two days now.
But it is Spring in Utah, and if you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes and it will change again.
So I went out and took a few more pics while there was a break in the weather. Stormy wanted to be in this picture, so here she is

with some of the daffodils in the back yard, there are also some hyacinths getting ready to bloom. The other pictures are the daffodils and crocus in our front yard. It is so cool to get to see them blooming, when we moved in last year, it was after they were all done blooming.
We have a lot of yard work to do around here, but it will be worth it in the long run. I love a nice looking yard.
Hope you all are doing well, and enjoying Spring!!

1st Signs of Spring in Utah

I got really excited the other day when I went out into the yard and started noticing the daffodils and crocus starting to pop up from the cold ground. The first picture is of the daffodils on the north side of my house and the second one is out in the front yard where the daffodils and crocus are starting to come out.










I know it is kind of a boring picture, but it excites me that the bulbs are starting to grow and will be blooming soon. But we all know that winter is not over in Utah, we get snow clear into June at times.








This is a picture of Myrtle the Turtle who sits just off the back porch and it you look close she is protecting a couple little bulbs that are starting to push through the ground.
I got Myrtle from our friends Gordon and Mary for my birthday last year, when I told them that I wanted to find a turtle to have in my backyard. ( I want a real box turtle or land turtle, but Myrtle will do until I find a real one I can afford, so keep an eye out for me).
Hope you all enjoy the pics and hope that you all start seeing the first signs of spring in your neck of the woods soon too.
