Hi I'm back...................

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking of clever things to say in my blog to get back on track again, but as soon as I get out of bed, come down stairs, my cleverness slips away!
Things like "the long winter is over and with spring comes throwing open the windows and airing out the cobwebs in the home and in the brain".
While laying in bed it was much more eloquent and the words flowed, but there is something about going from horizontal to vertical in the early morning, dogs waiting with legs crossed to get outside, and trying not to fall down the stairs, that make any great thought vacate the brain by the time I hit the bottom step!

So... how about that winter??????? Holy catfish it was long and lots of snow.
Other highlights of my winter, I had the flu for about 3 weeks, (thought I was going to die), my back went out for weeks (wanted to die), and I got the end of the winter blues!!! All that was intermingled with more snow blowing and shoveling than the past 4 years all put together.

Now I think Judy Wilbur Craig is back again with the spring air, flowers and the green grass! Phew, I made it out on the other side, how about you?

Other notes: My little Emma Mae, (Yorkshire Terrier) is expecting and due around the 10th of May. This will be her first litter, so we are very excited.

I was sworn in to the Dexter Town Council in January and that has been busy. The next month or 2 is budget time for the Council so we will be very busy. I encourage citizens to attend the Budget process and see how it is done.

The Green Thumb Society which consists mostly of Darlene and I are readying barrels for Main Street for the end of May.
Last week Darlene and I cleaned the debris from the Dexter perennial gardens, ie: Wayside Park in front of the Gazebo, the Town Office Garden and the Heart Garden in front of the Post Office.
I will write more on that later, but will say, volunteers anyone?
