Weather and Birthday News From Browntown

The weather yesterday was absolutely beautiful! Grammy reports Spring-like activities in Browntown with planting bulbs, finding new little growing things under the leaves and a very playful and active Cleo! Grammy and Cleo spent some time in the garden surveying the situation and tidying up from early winter. She reports some bulb planting using the bulbs Win gave us for Christmas. With any luck, the snow and ice we had early in December will be the extent of winter this year. Sure would be nice to save on those heating bills.

Emma reported beautiful weather in Atlanta also with trees in her neighborhood that transformed from little buds when she left for work in the a.m. to full bloom by the time she returned for lunch at mid-day!

Reports from Char indicate she had a very nice birthday spent with Abby and Haley and some other doggie friends (both human and canine) at a dog sporting event - could she be any happier on her day??. You know how all these sports are going from simple leisure activities to "extreeeeme" something or other - extreme skiing, extreme skateboarding, extreme biking, etc? From what I can gather Auntie Char, Haley and Abby have entered a similar sporting world - only for dogs. Some kind of "extreme" agility, I think. Anyway, Cleo's cousins performed very well and it was a happy day for Auntie Char.

Win has not yet reported in on his Birthday activities but he will be in Browntown tonight so a full accounting is forthcoming. Sam, Daniel and Win are going to a conference at the NOVA 4-H Center and will be our overnight guests in Browntown. I am looking forward to meeting the folks who get to work with Win every day.

My experience in school last night is worthy of a blog entry of it's own so watch for the next report and I sure hope Jaime is reading!!
