Spring is in the air, maybe

Well, howdy from the ranch house.
Boy, winter sure seems a long time been here now doesn't it? Here in the rockies it has been long and cold. That there Phil does not know about Rocky Mountain winters, that's for sure. Didn't get a lot of snow though. Never got more than about 4 feet deep. That is how it is here though. You either get warm and wet or cold and dry.
Spring is not here yet, but, it is at the Ranch. No buds yet, but 72 degrees yesterday tells me that it is only a short few days away. Along with spring comes something that we have waited seemingly forever for. The move! Yea, the wife went up yesterday and cleaned things up a bit and got excited. so, now we can start. I have been patiently waiting for my knee and leg to heal, and now that the surgeries are over, I can get back on my feet. I have been down since Dec 1 and am tired of it.
Oh, I am not walking yet, but I can drive again and my son is a big strong fellow. Outside of physical therapy, I have nothing else going on, so as quickly as he can load the truck, I can drive and he can unload. We want to be totally moved by April 20th. Lots of time. We pre-moved a lot fothe outside items last fall, so it is the house and the animals that need to go now. Probably start with the deck, so I can get the exercise bike out (actually, bring it back here) and use it to aid in my leg exercises.
So, in closing, thanks to everyone that prayed for me. It has been an ordeal for sure. I appreciate your prayers and thoughts and know that they helped.
God is using us to prepare a place for lost souls in the coming bad times and has taught me some valuable lessons this winter.
