Spring has sprung!

It is so beautiful around here. The roses are blooming and the garden is growing, soon to be blooming as well. I am the official "waterer" around here and this drought is keeping me very busy. Unfortunately the weeds are coming up just fine in the garden, the ground cover, the roses and the rocks. I will let a younger, healthier back take care of those. Mom has someone in mind.
Mom's Alzheimer's seems to progress in little steps, but sometimes it is really showing its' ugly head and I hate it. She is so fun and vibrant at 81 and only looks to be in her 70's. She is slowing down and doesn't have her usual pep which concerns me so it will be off to the doctor again. She is usually out running me at every turn. Now she naps! You just don't know how odd that is to me. She never napped before!
My Emma is loving the spring. She is out on point with the birds and the bees. The latter is of some concern to me, but she just loves pointing and isn't really picky when it comes to birds, bees, squirrels or any other thing that gets her excitement up.
I get to see her once or twice a week right now as Mom is allergic and Emma is staying with friends. Hopefully I will get my own place soon and Emma and I can be back together again.
It looks like a storm may be coming! Yippie! I may not have to pull hoses for a couple of days. One can only hope.
Well, that is it for now. I will try to keep more current than I have been lately.
Bye for now!
