We are hovering in the 50's. <BR/><BR/>Emily, I feel badly for you with having back problems. I remember watching my Dad suffer for many years, and continues to this day. It's no fun, as the back is so important to everything we do. I pray for healing for you. When we were all so sick I remember thanking the Lord for our health, as we so easily take it for granted. We haven't figured out what the bugs were, but at least we now know the source and have gotten rid of that (hopefully!). I'll have to tell Jim's folks about the wonderful spring you are having; they are on their way up the coast and will be back in NH on Sunday.Lynn Bartletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17435825858991342289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21282709.post-1145480835794934682006-04-19T14:07:00.000-07:002006-04-19T14:07:00.000-07:00Hi Lynn!

What a blessing for a family to be working in unity as you do; the boys must have an excellent work ethic. I have not gotten to do any outside work recently mostly because I'm fearful of my back's response to the activity. Slow raking is okay, and weeding is fine, but I can't do any bending and lifting, so Dwayne and Isaac do the heavy chores. I can't keep up with all the plants coming up....I recognize very few of them. This is the most glorious springtime that I can remember, in recent history anyway. Seems like the perfect balance of sun and rain to get everything off to a good start. P.S. Did you ever find out what those little red bugs were? Hope they're all gone. We're having a little problem with itsy bitsy ants but they're easy enough to get rid of. I found by chance that they really dislike peppermint oil so I'm swabbing the kitchen down until it smells like a candy cane in there! :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02224478477510925985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21282709.post-1145456315300573352006-04-19T07:18:00.000-07:002006-04-19T07:18:00.000-07:00Hi Lynn!I hate to admit it but I was sure glad to ...Hi Lynn!<BR/><BR/>I hate to admit it but I was sure glad to see the rain at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. My poor body was telling me that I'm not conditioned yet for the labor we've done these past few days.<BR/><BR/>It does feel good having a few seeds in the ground! This rain will sure help everything 'green up'!<BR/><BR/>Best wishes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21282709.post-1145454181540947152006-04-19T06:43:00.000-07:002006-04-19T06:43:00.000-07:00Life's getting busy here too!
