Last week (when it was in the 70s) Clay planted some blueberry and raspberry bushes for our garden this year. We'll see if they survive!

Winter Wonderland?
Nope! Just a cold slushy, nasty mess.

THE CAVALRY!!!
The cavalry came yesterday morning to help fix our fence. Lucky for us my mom's extended family live in town and some of them are retired. So I called my uncle Don and asked if he was a fence building expert? He replied he had built a fence or two in his day and I informed him that in my world that made him and expert! So he grabbed my uncle Dean and they showed up at my house at about 10am with all the fence building tools one could imagine.
The culprit!
(sorry Alyson I don't think the Power Wheels knocked down the fence)

Basically the fence fell down because the post had rotted. We knew it needed to be fixed a few months ago but no one wants to fix a fence in December so we had braced it and prayed it would hold until summer. Then Monday night we had straight line winds and the usual Oklahoma spring severe weather. Mix the two together and you get a broken fence!

Clay helped by getting our crew lunch!
Once the cement set our neighbor Justin came over and put up the fence panels since I had class and Clay is still incapacitated.
Thanks uncle Don, uncle Dean and Justin for all your help!
P.S. The dogs say thank you also!

SPRING BREAK!
Spring break did what I had hoped to achieved . . . I feel refreshed. The big news is that Clay is driving again which frees up a lot of my time. In fact next Friday (27th) he'll be back on his feet (literally). While I worked all break and didn't have down time the change of pace was welcome. We also had a wonderful dinner with Brianna and her fiance Chase.
Clay and his brace (or exoskeleton as he lovingly refers to it)
Clay's injury 1 week after surgery
In other surgical news my mom has requested pictures of Clay and his brace. While I have some absolutely stunning pictures of Clay in all of his surgical glory with the wonderfully sexy surgery cap and robe (and some super sexy fuzzy socks w/ non-slip bottoms) you will have to be satisfied with a picture of Clay in his brace and crutches.
Also the dogs got their first grooming of the spring.

Restart
I'm tired. I think the past few months all caught up with me in the last week. Or maybe it's just that point in the semester where I start to get weary of my classes. Either way I need a restart. Just that moment of rest that kicks my motivation back into gear so I can finish strong. I'm hoping that is what I get over spring break. While I won't be going anywhere exotic I'm hoping that a change of pace for a few days will be the just what it takes to get me going again. I know some say that life needs an "EASY" button but for me I think I'd prefer a "RESTART" button.

Nothing Special
Since I had not posted in a while I felt like I needed to say something to my faithful readers out there (both of you). However, nothing much has been going on. The weather is thankfully getting warmer (yesterday hit 75F) and the Bradford Pear trees are blooming (causing my allergies to go haywire). Spring break is a week away and since Clay is still laid up on crutches I will be working through the break and supporting the gross domestic product (I figure someone has to). Bar review classes have started and I now know how much I don't know (or forgot). And most of all I believe every sentence int his blog should have a parenthetical (or at least most of them).
Have a great weekend!
P.S. Check out my sister's blog today. Lily has ticklish air. Yet another Blackketerism to add to the list.
