Signs of Spring

I noticed that some of the nicest gardens around were uncovered and so I followed suit this week. The finches are starting to turn a little yellow too, that's a good sign. We are still hearing and seeing lots of Sandhill cranes moving overhead. And the turkeys are lurking everywhere you look. I guess the most exciting thing that happened this week was the visit we had from a nice young Sheriff yesterday. I answered the door and he asked if I had called 911. I said no and that I didn't believe my husband had either. He said "are you sure everything is all right here?" I then went out to John's office and he said "Oh my God - I thought I was at the office and dialed 9 to get out of the building and then 1 and 1 and hung up. I didn't even think about it." I don't think he'll be doing that again...

Other than that, we've been working on Windjammin' and the floor at Cedar Shores Lodge. We waxed, bottom painted, put on sails and rigged the boat. We also ripped up the tile in the kitchen, hall and north bedroom and are getting ready to lay the new yellow pine floor. I have been doing what I can during the day and John's been working like a dog after work at night, both on the boat and the house.

Next week we will turn our attention to Free Bird. 70's in the forecast - hallelujah!
