Winter? Spring? ????

The weather in south central Texas has been as varied as the rest of the country has this year.  We went from freezing temperatures to warm short weather in the span of a few days.  It seems like every morning you have to poke your head or body out the door to see how you should dress.  I really haven't minded the weather changes, I just don't want any broken pipes from freezing weather.  With the extreme changes in weather, it has been difficult to keep some of my plants alive.  My poor hybiscus plant died, and several other small plants are not fairing too well at this point.  I will have some work cut out for me this spring with planting new and hopefully fairly hardy plants.  I have found that I am able to grow very few things without killing them.  I am afraid I don't possess a green thumb.  I have even managed to kill cactus.  So far I have not killed any fake plants.  My mother says she can even kill those.  Well I have to go uncover my plants now, today is a warm day and they could use the sunshine:)

The Busyness (sp) of life

These past few weeks have been a flurry of activity for our family.  Getting back in the routine after the holidays has been a little challenging.  It has not been as stressful as I thought it would be, just a full active schedule.  Now it is Rodeo time and Kevin and I will be spending some of our free hours helping in the first aide areas.  It is a nice break from the hospital routine for us both.  We have been volunteering for about 9 years, and we thoroughly enjoy our time spent there.  We have met some wonderful people and feel like we have made many new friends.  We try to take the children at least once so they can ride the rides and see the animals.  The boys love that part, Jaclyn is more into the rides.  Well, have to get back to the routine, have to blog later.
