Dear Lee April 12, 2012

Well  I never know where I might run into you! I grabbed a plastic margarine container in the freezer that had a label on it "Good Soup".  I thawed it out during the morning and at lunch realised it was your favourite soup- in fact the soup I made for you while sick at home with so called pneumonia. Navy bean soup. I also came across a bundle of new greeting cards all western flavor. (not in the freezer) From the looks of them they were meant for me. Brings a smile to my face. Its hard to believe I can so easily smile when I think of you.

I roped up all the dead branches we cut together last fall and hauled them to the back brush piles using the John Deere garden tractor. Faithful Buddy ran along beside for each of the 4 trips. You were never fond of tree pruning because you liked all the shade. I like to trim in such away that I never got impaled or knocked off the lawn mower. That usually means I take all the branches off as high as I can reach. I must admit I did most of the pruning while you were at work. You never seemed to notice the scalping! I will still never prune a tree without thoughts of you.

I repaired the chicken fence in anticipation of Mary getting baby chicks early May. One more patch and we will be ready to go. It is seriously windy today. Not a good day at all to release ashes..........
