Coming home from the post office just now, I saw one of those church signs whose purpose is to make you think--or either to make you gag, depending on what it says. This one was quite deep, with what at first appeared to be a profound message: "God gives us today to prepare for tomorrow." But once I rolled it around in my brain for a few minutes, I found that I completely disagree. If God gives us today to prepare for tomorrow, why does he give us tomorrow? To prepare for the next day? Don't we just miss everthing that way? Why prepare for tomorrow if we're just going to miss it preparing for the next day? I don't know; maybe I'm just making it more complicated that it should be. But I think God gave us today to live and be good to each other, the same reason he gives us tomorrow. So that's my philosophy for today.
Sophie continues to improve, as do I. Poor Sophie. The steroids are causing my girl to get a fat tummy. And with her tummy and sides shaved so that she could have the ultrasound, the bulging midsection is even more noticeable than if she had hair on it. Bless her heart. She can't even jump up on the sofa anymore. She's so clumsy, not used to being a fatty. Tomorrow, her steroid dose will be cut in half, and today is her last day on antibiotics. So maybe some of that tummy will start to go away. We hope.
My online photography class begins tomorrow. I'm really excited to see what the first assignment will be. I have become quite hooked on photography these days, especially since Vann got me my Nikon D40 in February. Digital makes everything so much simplier. Vann seems to be tickled with the progress I'm making (and he's a "real"--that is, professional--photographer), so his comments mean a lot.
I took the above photo of the beautiful purple iris in my neighbor Jennifer's yard.

Where, who, what on the photography class, please.
Be careful when you make those pickles, it makes a lot and you'll have to share them or you'll be in misery. Be sure you put a bowl under them when you flip them upside down.
Sounds like spring bit you in the pocketbook and you broke out in a rash of flowers. Good for you. Good for Sophie on the blood count. Good girl! (that's for both of you)
