Wildlife Abounds - April 13, 2009

I thought I would share some pix of the critters around here. Doves, dogs, rabbits, deer, fish, hummingbirds, metal bulls...You know, the normal stuff. It is definitely spring, because they are all happily breeding! Well, not the bull.

April Fools Day

Woke up this morning to the snow coming down, and I had to laugh. Of course it is snowing! Only God could orchestrate such a stellar joke. The boys have decided to slather the door handles in Vaseline for Mike's benefit. Sweet children...where is their mother at anyway...oh yeah...encouraging the antics. I'm busted.

My hummingbirds are still searching out nectar and the primrose aren't frozen so I guess spring will arrive SOMETIME.

Onto the health front instead of the weather front, I am scheduled to have my first throat work done on April 6th. However, we got some exciting news yesterday from my other allergist. There is a therapy called XOLAIR Therapy that is given and binds with the IgE allergens in my blood. There is some promise that this may work. I don't want to get to techy on you, but this would actually help heal me. Talk about doing a happy dance! I was beside myself having a party after talking to her on the phone. So, we do have two camps: one of my allergists says that I need to stay on the medication to slow the overproduction of my bad bonemarrow cells for 2 years and that there is nothing more she can do. The other has introduced the XOLAIR Therapy and thinks I may actually have a body that could experience healing....I'll go with her!

That's the latest scoop, and here are the latest pics of snow...taken a few hours ago...because "where there is snow, aspergillus won't grow."
