Here again

Here again.  Easter is over at this point!  Yahoo.  I must say that during Lent and now Easter...we've had the best music ever.  Palm/Passion Sun. was the best with lots of music, scripture and visuals.  It was a sort of Palm/Passion service with hymns and anthems that carried the story of Holy week.  Just awesome.  Then of course great Thurs. and Fri. services...Funeral Sat. morning so we Easter decrated Sat. afternoon.  And then on to Easter Sunday services.  Busy but OHHHHH! so good.  Darren and I are a team like none other!  We're just on the same track.  Now if the custodians could get it.  I really got frustrated with no trust coming from them!  Bummer.  It's been a bit quieter at church.  Thank God!  Sat. our handbell group traveled to Anderson and had a day of bell ringing and program with two other groups.  It was fun.  The weather is finally getting warmer and I'm into the flowerbeds big time.  Loving every minute of it.  Just wish I had enough energy to last ALL day long.  I'm sort of pushing the knee to a place it doesn't want to go so at some point I just need to stop and ice again.  What a bummer again.  It just can't keep up!  At some point it WINS!  This week I have three complete days at home.  MON. TUES. and All of WED.  We're having rain so it's easy to pull weeds.  I've been shopping for herbs.  The green houses are lagging behind my schedule.  Planted lettuse, cilentra, and radishes already.  All of the butterfly bushes have frozen back to the ground and today I cut off at least 8 bushes.  That's hard to do when the whole stock is dead.  No tall bushes certainly will give the garden a new look with lots of sunshine to go all around.  Fun, fun.  Something new again. 

My goodness...It's been a while

Well, a lot has happened.  The best being that warm weather is here.  Today we raked three garbage containers full of locust seed pods and there is at least enough to fill another three.  The neighbor kids   4 of them came over when they saw me raking.  Thank goodness for them.  I thought it would take three or four days to get the job done.  Well, it's done sort of because we need to fill three more containers.  Locust pods everywhere.  Busy looking to see the shape of the perenniels.  And today I started spraying the #$$%^& onions.  They never give up and I decided that I couldn't dig any more.  So spray...

Preparation for holy week and easter has been filling days and days.  But...ready is what I am feeling.  Doug and I prepared the palms for tomorrow.  It's Palm/Passion Sunday and there are a lot of visuals to go with each of the readings along with finding people to be a part of the service.  Thurs. is just about ready, Fri. is Seven Last Words and then Sat. is decorating morning and ofcourse the next day is Easter...Wooo...Busy, busy time. 

Knee continues to perk right along.  I'm back at the Y and have found that when the knee aches, getting on the treadmill really helps.  So...Not quite back to where I was with time but not to far to go to be back where I was before surgery.  I'm very, very happy with the progress. 

Had a wonderful time with Noah's birthday party.  Lots of church children and just had a lot of fun. 
Tonight I'm going with sister Mary K to the Carmel Symphony and the Anderson University Choir proformance at the Palladium.  Such a nice way to spend an evening with a sister.  Doug will do the Panara pick up by himself and he is quite capable.  Go Doug.
