Tulips by *Kaessa on deviantART
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and spring is finally here. I’d love to go out and do some yardwork, but that is currently on hold. I did manage to make it out to spray some Roundup on the weeds, however. My biggest challenge is trying to figure out how to Make the Sunflowers Not Grow. When we bought the house, the yard was overgrown with sunflowers, and I didn’t get them out before they totally went to seed. Unfortunately. Now I have a bazillion baby sunflowers coming up, and I’m not physically up to going out and pulling them all up. I’m waiting to see if the Roundup has any effect on them. If so, it’s herbicide, baby.
On the plus side, I have some lovely tulips coming up, and my lilacs are in full bloom. The late frost didn’t kill off all the blooms on the peach trees, and it looks like I’ll have a nice crop of peaches for the fall.

Pretty, yes?
On a fun note, I just discovered the new and updated photo feature in my WordPress. Yay for updates! This will make it much easier for me to post random photos from Picasa or from my Photobucket page.
For those of you following my illness, here is an update: no news. My doctor still has no idea what’s causing the pain, and has officially given up and referred me to a rheumatologist. He thinks it may be some type of auto-immune disorder. I’m just hoping we find out what it is and hopefully make it go away.
