And the voice of the lawnmower is heard in the land

Yep, it's Spring all right! Redbuds and Spring Beauties, ornamental pear, forsythia, wild mint, jonquils all in bloom. Oak trees sprouting tassels and appointments for allergy shots being made!
Had a lovely drive today.
Earlier this week, the wind blew part of my board fence down - a couple of neighbors are fixing it for me.
One of them drove me to my eye doc's in the next county so I wouldn't have to drive home with dilated pupils. Found out I have my first cataract surgery on the 4th of next month. (Yay!)
Got a new cat condo for the kitties. It was a real fight but I got it put together! The kitties approve!
A neighbor's wheels blew its transmission. I drove him to the bank yesterday. He's a real help around here, so on the way back from the bank I stopped at the taco truck and treated us both.
Got a half-hearted start on spring cleaning going. Today I just went shopping. Plan to be bone lazy the rest of the day.
Hot water heater went out. Plumber gave me a discount on labor!
Life is good!
Love Never Ends! The capacity of the human heart for love is infinite.
Praying for everybody, whether they think they need it or not.

i dont have to wear glasses any more or grab them when the master fire alarm goes off in my apartment building. its also time for the little pink or purple pill for those who have to take them. its always neat that one has f riends like yours who can help in a pinch.nesat poem.

I'll still need glasses for my astigmatism, but Hubby thought I looked cute in my bifocals, so that's OK~
Happy you got yours fixed!
