A welcome sight











The snow is almost melted in our yard. I looked out the window yesterday and saw this welcome sight in my neighbor's front yard. I hope she doesn't mind that I took a closer look. Is there anything more welcome than seeing the first flowers of spring!!
It's a great cure for the flu. I had been bragging that I hadn't gotten a cold or flu all winter. You shouldn't do that, although I think I have a mild case.....just muscle aches, headaches, and tiredness, not the awful cough that others in my family have had. I've been able to go to work and do all that I need to do.
Last year my neighbor suggested a new doctor that she thought I should go to. His name is Dr. Morton. He's a young Internal Medicine specialist. I had to see him as a follow up yesterday and he could tell I didn't feel well. I wanted him to know that the medicine he prescribed me is working and I was just temporarily ill. I like his style. He says things that I can understand and relate to. He looked at me and said, "The flu sucks." You know, he is right..... I like him a lot. The only reason I even mentioned all of this is that I have been smiling ever since I went to the doctor thinking about one who didn't talk in all his medical talk. He just said it like it is.... The flu sucks...... But, crocuses in my neighbor's yard, robins in my tree, and a day warm enough to go outside without a jacket don't. Can't believe I just posted this.....I never use the word suck in that way.
