This morning it was balmy and wonderful, just needed a light jacket and as I walked Mabel's dog, Georgie Girl, I marveled at how the globe willows were getting so green and remembered how when we used to visit this area I thought the trees were so beautiful and wanted some. Well, sometimes you do get what you wish for. We have a globe willow and a bunch of scrawny ordinary willows and they are all turning green. The tulips and jonquils are coming up. The lilacs are starting to open their leaf buds and my spirea has actually leafed out ( the teeny, tiniest leaves, to be sure, but none the less, leaves!). This afternoon the winds came and the dirt blew and you couldn't see but maybe a half a mile away at times. You need the winter coat and hat to do chores. The orphan lambs hate this weather as does the dog, me too! But we aren't having flooding, earthquakes, fires, mine cave-ins and lots of other bad stuff. Isn't it wonderful that so many of the chinese men in the collapsed mine lived! Truly a God thing.
Sharon just called me and Walter was sent to hospital via ambulance and in ICU. We don't know what is wrong yet, but last week he went to Kaiser with left arm pain and they told him he had gout. We love Walter but he is many pounds overweight and diabetic as well as many other serious problems. We seriously question the gout dianosis! Anyway, it was good to be able to turn the situation over to God because we are simply feeble, helpless people so far away. (He lives in Denver.) What do people do who don't have God to turn to, it must be so scary.
