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.
