We live in Columbia and yes, blue skies and GREAT weather. Dan actually walked almost 2 miles today...it was a stretch, but he made it!! I love this time of year here in MD...everything getting green and starting to bloom. Dan still using the PEG, so the grilling has to wait a bit longer! But he is doing well just 6 weeks post 8 weeks chemo/rad. God is good and it's so good to see the beauty in the nature He gave us to enjoy.
Thanks for the great and refreshing post! Debbie

It was 88 today and I tilled the garden spot where I am planting some flowers (about 100 there, 300-400 in the front). I smoked two racks of backribs and a chicken today, too. I would have grilled but I am rebuilding it and the parts have been on backorder all month...due in on Monday! Yahoo!
This is really my FIRST spring of recovery and I have to admit it is the greatest spring I remember.
