I haven’t talked with you for over a week, I just hate to complain all the time and this year seems that is all I can do.  Since we came home we have had two nice spring days and about 5 that were workable.  The rest have been awful.  I have some pictures but right now I can not put them on the blog.  They have gone and changed how to do that.  I guess they think it is easier but for me it is impossible so I’ll just have to tell you about it.  My peaches were starting to bloom and were beautiful when we had a snow storm.  They looked as if they might have made it through that and then we had the frosts and freezed at night.  One night we had 12 hours below freezing and the day never warmed up out of the 30’s.  So now I am afraid we have lost the peaches for this year and the hope for the pears and blueberries are fadeing fast.  We have had a week of freezing nights and cold day.  Right now we have 2-3 inches of snow on the ground and the weather is so cold it does not melt.  Boy am I glad my living does not depend on the farm!!  I have been spending most of my time working on the family tree and even that depends on the use of the computer and I fight with that all the time.  So you see there is not much to report to you but bitching!! I see one other post I started a couple days ago and never got sent out because of a power failure.  I’ll check on that and post that also.  I do hope you have a good day and I’ll say only happy things on the other post.
