      From Lesa Yesterday

      Hey mb! I'm trying to feel better. Actually made it outside for a little bit this afternoon. It was warm and I wanted to try to plant a few bulbs. Can only do a handful at a time. Found out that the neighbor's cats are using my flower beds as a bathroom. Boy did I mutter a few words. Actually had a few words with my neighbor. She has 3 cats just running loose.Woe is me! LOL! How was your day? Not as poopy as mine I hope. I did get 5 bulbs planted! Love you bunches. Hope we can chat soon! Yb,Always...Lesa
