MS FOR MS

Today I walked with thousands of other Utahan's

to donate our time and money to help

find a cure for multiple sclerosis.

Sara, (whom I work with) her husband lives with the disease.

This is her young family.

The walk started at the Gateway in SLC and we

walked approx 4 miles thru the north end of the city.

It managed to not rain or snow on us

and the event was rather low key.

These are my"DeVry" University commrads.

It was a nice morning, I'm happy I participated!

We can only hope

That in the resurection Dallas' new 5 week old bunny will live again.

On Friday, I took Dallas to the pet

store to get her a bunny rabbit

She picked out a mini rex with white and tan spots.

We bought a hutch for $130.00, food, toys and brought it home.

Dallas played and kissed and took the bunny with her everywhere

for 2 days and then it died.

end of story....

Mother Earth...I love you..

I have been a big supporter of Earth Day since 1970.

That is 41 years of really wanting to do my part to

protect, love, reuse, recycle, replenish our beautiful world.

The two images above were the very first

symbols used to promote Ecology Day

Click here to a very interactive website

full of all different kinds of activities

for you and your family to do and learn more about

Earth Day.

Here is an awesome website if you love wearing t-shirts

and want to support environment projects.

here are a couple of examples that I would wear:

I will probably go pick up trash and debris around

my neighborhood and down to the Provo River Trail.

Kat

We named her, Katlin Kay

(although I fought hard to give her the middle name

of Kate, after my

grandmother, Kate Burch Terry).

She has been known in our family as:

* Caitlin(Kate-lynn)

*Kat

*Kitter Catter

*Kit-Kat

*the "smart one"

*the "rich sister"

-She still holds the honor of being the only

daughter to graduate from college.

-Wreck the most cars

-Have the most surgeries

-the "most creative"

-the "most organized"

Remains "single"

the longest of the sisters.

(that's not hard to do when you only

have one sister that is married.)

Today

Her graduation day from -UC Santa Barbara

It was a very nice day with my family.

Announcing Spring

Here is a very quick way to make a Spring Banner.

The colors are a sight for winter eyes.

I am sending this to Houston, Texas to

three young rascals. I can't wait to see them in

a few months from now!

Everything was bought at Michael's Craft store

except the "Spring" pendents of which I made out of felt.

(this took me about hour and half to put together.)

Can't wait to weed, fertilize and plant my garden!

Spring's Birth

Click here to see incredible time-released images of a budding POPPY.

Poppies

Mary Oliver

The poppies send up their

orange flares; swaying

in the wind, their congregations

are a levitation

of bright dust, of thin

and lacy leaves.

There isn't a place

in this world that doesn't

sooner or later drown

in the indigos of darkness,

but now, for a while,

the roughage

shines like a miracle

as it floats above everything

with its yellow hair.

Of course nothing stops the cold,

black, curved blade

from hooking forward—

of course

loss is the great lesson.

But I also say this: that light

is an invitation

to happiness,

and that happiness,

when it's done right,

is a kind of holiness,

palpable and redemptive.

Inside the bright fields,

touched by their rough and spongy gold,

I am washed and washed

in the river

of earthly delight—

and what are you going to do—

what can you do

about it—

deep, blue night?

APRIL 2

You can never tell what the weather will be like in the

months of April & May in Utah.

Here's an example...

This is what I woke up too, this morning at 6:00 am

(back yard)

This what I saw when I looked out onto the driveway..

Wait...

..is that an open sunroof window left open from the 67 degree weather

from last night when the star's were all a-glow?

The "swede" left his sunroof open all night and guess

what he found?

He just laughed and said; "who knew it would snow 10 inches???

We decided to take advantage of this beautiful

spring snow storm and headed up the mountains to:

We put our snowshoes on and headed up the

pristine snow to the back side of Mt Timpanogos.

It was blue skies one moment and then a

cloud would pass over the sun.

All alone on unmarked trails amongst

the pines and aspen trees....(heaven)

For some reason the "swede" and I have to document

our adventures by taking self portraits.

(estoy en mi rostro natural)

I think...I like "bi-polar" Spring!
