What a wonderful spring we have had. It was sunny again today. In the last two days, we have completed the weeding and spading of our flower beds. We are now ready for spring planting of bedding plants and tomatoes. This is the first time in three years that we have been ready in time for the traditional Mother's Day planting.
This year we will be on the road on Mother's day, so we will take a chance and plant a week early. I anticipate, that, with our wonderful automatic watering system, we will come home to some nicely matured bedding plants. The pond is in serious need of attention, though. I replaced the pump last August, and the new pump failed in January. I am hoping that it has a one year warranty and I can get an adjustment on a new pump. Unfortunately, I don't think that is going to happen before we leave on our vacation.
Jill injured her knee while she was in Taos, NM a couple of weeks ago. Of course, she thought it was minor and would take care of itself. Yesterday, it got worse, so we went to the doctor today. A few x-rays, a little manipulation of the knee, and the decision was that it is not yet time for an MRI. Put a brace on it and take ibuprofen for a week. If it isn't better come back. That seems reasonable. The only problem is that, if there is no improvement, all that hiking we were planning to do on our southwest vacation may be impossible. I wonder if they rent Hoverounds at the Grand Canyon?
