Rain Again

John was scheduled for a fasting blood test, so we headed to Bemidji bright and early this morning.  Once that was done, we stopped at Country Kitchen for some breakfast and then spent a couple of hours running around town taking care of some errands.
When we arrived home, there was a message on the machine from the dental office letting John know they could see him at 2 p.m. to put the permanent crown on his tooth.  After about 45 minutes at home, he returned to town and the dental office.  

Our pickup truck had been making some strange noises, so yesterday we dropped it off for servicing.  While John was at the dentist, the repair shop called and said the truck was ready to be picked up, so when he got home I drove him right back into town to get the truck.   It felt like we were on the road for the better part of the day.  

With all the rain we've had, and now with the warmer temps, the grass is finally green and the trees are beginning to bud out.  It looks like it is going to be warm enough now to turn the heat off in the house.  I think the winter has finally gone for good.
