Long Time

General

Haven't posted for some time... Not much to say. Had a nice time is the Canadian Rockies in May, spring is almost done...

For the rest, not much news! 


Spring Is Here

Raves

20+ degrees compared to heavy snow a week ago. Washed the van, did some yard cleaning, hosed down some remaining snow in the shade... All in all, a great day to be alive!

Got a replacement pump for my aero garden so I planted some petunias, cosmos, and bush morning glories.  Let's see how long before they bloom... Smile


Did You Turn Off Your Lights?

Environment and Weather

Did you observe Earth Hour and turn off your lights for an hour?

I am a bit disappointed that of the Canadian cities that observed the power out, Edmonton was not among them.

From the website:

On March 29, 2008 at 8 p.m., join millions of people around the world in making a statement about climate change by turning off your lights for Earth Hour, an event created by the World Wildlife Fund.

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe will turn out for Earth Hour. More than 100 cities across North America will participate, including the US flagships–Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix and San Francisco and Ottawa, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. View cities involved around the world.


It Must Be Spring

Gardening

Even though we still get frost at night, the daylilies and tulips are poking their noses above ground. Soon summer will be here and I will enjoy the warm weather again.

Sights like these are a good reminder!  


FOBT

Cancer

Test results were negative, which means GOOD! Cool

On with the rest of my life! 


FOBT

Cancer

Just finished a Fecal Occult Blood Test as part of a new checkup regimen. Being on a diet for over a week, and taking poop samples is so much fun.

I just hope the results are good... My first for such a test...


End Of Regular CEA Tests

Cancer

Had my final 3-month CEA test and the score was below 0.5... The lowest is has ever been!  Feels great. Cool


End Of Physio

Health General

YES! Cool

Today was my last day of physio. Need to keep exercising my hips, but I'm doing a lot better than 2 months ago!!!


Lily Register

General

Went to the post office to pick up the new edition of the RHS lily register that was sent to me as a complimentary copy for having the online lily register.

A massive work of 948 pages. Nice to see some recognition... Smiley


End Of Physio

General

If all goes well, next week will be the end of my physio treatments.

I can walk again!!! Cool
