Well my big day arrives on Wednesday, March 17th. I will be having back surgery. That nasty virus I had triggered a sciatiac problem that I had years ago. No longer able to ignore so...knife time. Doctor will remove bulging disc and repair 2 others. Now I am really looking forward to good weather. Hoping that by the time SPRING arrives I will be well enough to be outside taking pictures. Wishing SPRING to all and take care...Be a blessing to someone today! Paulette
