Apple tree blossom

For the first time in years, yes years, I can actually smell the blossoms on the trees.  It is wonderful.  I forgot how wonderfully sweet apple blossoms smell.  Having my tonsils out was the best thing I could have ever done.  I hope that everyone is having a wonderful spring!

I can’t believe I haven’t post since the beginning of January.  Time has flown this year.

Good news is that I finally have a voice again.  As you may recall, I lost my voice on September 8 just out of the blue.  On January 20th while everyone else was watching the inauguration of our new President I had my tonsils removed.  I’ll admit it was awful but I am so glad that I had it done.  The worst part of the whole ordeal was the ear pain.  I can’t even describe what it was like.  After the third day of recovery I thought “This Read the rest of this entry »
