Here are the signs of Spring 2010. The daffodils are close to blooming!Unfortunately, it also means flooding around here. These next two photos show the James River several times wider than normal. It causes lots of road closures as the waters rise over the bridges and roadways. The 2nd photo shows trees that are surrounded by water.
The weather has been in the mid-70's lately and we have gotten out in shorts and flip-flops. Here were our accomplishments yesterday: worked till 4:20 pm; cleaned the basement as we were getting a "new-to-us" washer; swept the garage (it was a mess!); Andrew and I washed BOTH cars which were filthy; started 3 potted plants; planted one plant out in the yard; Andrew spent 2 hours with our neighbor moving and installing said washer; and several other less interesting tasks. Wow. All in shorts and flip flops :).Now about the washer blessing! We were already blessed to have a washer and dryer in the home we purchased. Upon closer inspection, the whole top of our washer was rusted off. Our generous neighbor called asking if we wanted their old washer. We said yes if you can't find someone else who needs it more than we do! They like matching pairs and their dryer had gone down and they had bought a brand new pair. The washer they gave us was decades newer. Thank you Lord!!! What a blessing.
