Spring is Here!

Spring is here and not a minute to soon. :)  really a very nice warm day with no wind to speak of.  Arlo is out moving dirt from a hill of dirt, he is putting it through a screen to take the rocks out of it then putting it behind the garage so he can plant grass seed there.

Between shoveling there is a need to rest.  In the back ground you can see the garage, motor home and south end of the house.

You can see a little pile of dirt in the cornor of the picture, the dirt will go behind the motor home and garage so he can extend the grass.  In the back of the property you can see the arbor for the grapes and also where he plants his garden.  The big truck we use for storage.

The fruit trees in the pictures did a bang up job last year, we canned many quarts of peaches and nectarines, not so sure of this year.

Lots of work but we like where we live as far as the weather and property are concerned.  We live close enough for the kids to come visit and not be a burden as fas as distance is concerned, we live in the middle. :)

A new Era for me :)

I am among the hearing again.  With the goodness of heart and the gift of hearing aids I can now hear the "s" sound again.  Really didn't know I was missing that sound until having a hearing exam Thursday.  That knowledge was brought to my attention by the audiolgist.  On one part of the exam she put a paper in front of her mouth and asked me to repeat what she said, ok I could do that, well I could do that for the most part but when it came to one word, I asked her to repeat the word, thought about it a bit then repeated what I thought she said even though I was doubtful of the word, but went ahead and said "poop".  Well thought her and Judy would split their sides laughing, the word was "soup" :)  oh well guess that will be hard to live down.
So if I made some mistakes when answering you just think about it wonder what other sounds I was missing.  No wonder when Arlo would ask me something and I answered and he would look at me and ask "and what does that have to do with anything ??"  Oh well now I should be able to get the answer right!
I am thankful to Frank for his generosity and goodness.  Left to myself I would not have sought out a hearing aid as figured I heard good enough.
I am now wondering how this will help me with singing or will I need to keep trying to sing with out hearing aids, guess next week will let me know.

Had a good week in Portland with Cynthia and family, especially with new great granddaughter Paola, little Lola, such a good baby.  Today is great grandson David's second birthday.  Happy Birthday David, love you. ggm
Also got to see great grandson Isaac, he even let me hold him this time.  Seen on Face Book where he has his first tooth now!  Love you all.  Until next time.  May Heavenly Father bless you and keep you safe.
