SANDSTORM...



It looks like special effects from the movie "The Mummy" but this is actually what Tino is dealing with right now in Iraq. Scary huh? Tino's brother Heiko can testify that these things are nasty cause I guess he got lost in one!!! NO KIDDING!! Right Heiko?

CAN YOU SMELL IT???



Can you? It's coming! It's right around the corner, it's teasing us! You know what I'm talking about?......

SPRING!!!!!!

Since I am a gardener my mouth starts salivating at the prospects of my tulips, daffodils, hybiscus, irises and crocuses popping their little heads out through the ground (sometimes even through the snow!). Don't you just LOVE the smell the ground has in the Spring? I LOVE IT!! I'm already planning on what I will be doing to the garden this year. I also decided to plant a new type of Hydrangea (my FAVORITE flowering shrub) in honor of our little Spirit we just lost. It's called "Limelight" here's a link to view: http://www.pallensmith.com/index.php?option=com_plantindex&task=view&PlantID=171 It's a beautiful plant.

I'll share some of my pictures of my garden with you


I never did show off the flowers I received from Tino for Valentine's day! 7,000+ miles away and he STILL managed to do something nice for me!!! Such a AWESOME husband!

I'm one lucky girl!
