spring-like

The weather here is spring like and we are lucky enough to be on the high ground south of the Missouri River.  There has been lots and lots of flooding to our North - Nebraska, NW Missouri and SW Iowa. Leves have been topped... towns covered with water and so on.  The weatherman says the river levels are going down but the crest is moving toward Kansas City and then Eastward towards Columbia and St. Louis.
Lots of the area drinking water comes from the river and aquifers. So far just minor problems... no boil water... yet.  But they are asking people to cut back on water usage to take the pressure off...

Some daffodils are sprouting and grass is turning green... but no oak cat tails, red buds, or forsythia.

Tomorrow is Harper's last day of obedience training... It is supposed to be mostly play which will be fun to watch. She is still so full of energy but that's typical for a puppy even if she is huge!! Her ears are huge too and you should hear the loud flapping when she shakes her head!!

My teacher daughter had spring break... her children had spring break last week. They are in different school districts. So we had a chance to go out for coffee and croissants  ... and talk without company. She had a chance to go out with her husband to celebrate their wedding anniversary too!! Alone!

I'll try and get a picture of Harper tomorrow!!
