Sun!

We had the most glorious afternoon. The sky was brilliant blue and the sun was highlighting all of those gorgeous dogwood trees. I should have borrowed Alex's camera to take a picture. Morning, of course, was stormy and wet (I ran around in my rubber garden shoes all day) and everything is looking mighty green.

When the sun comes out, even if it is still very cold, I want to step into crop pants, tee shirts, and sandals.

Mom continues to improve in very small increments. She was ordering Beef Stroganoff for dinner this evening with carrot salad -- and I would suppose noodles or rice or something. I think she is sort of enjoying the whole room service part of this. I know I would love to have her food choices. Her kitchen has a small dining table with two white wicker arm chairs, so she gets to eat in solitary splendor and in her robe.
