Wildcats Continue To Spread Happiness Throughout The SEC

I thought the saying was April showers bring May flowers, not February showers bring March flowers. It's rather mind boggling for me to see all my daffodils and tulips I planted two years ago already coming up in the garden. I am so very thankful for the early Spring, it has been wonderful, but, this is just weird. I've already seen crocus blooming their yellow, white and purple all around Central Kentucky. I am looking forward to all the colors of Spring, after a definitely white winter. I can expect yellow and red in the coming weeks, if not days. I'm just hoping the temps stay mild so as not to reek havoc on the emerging buds.

I was not a happy camper last night. I read the articles about how we have won ten straight games over Arkansas. This should be our second SEC road win. Well, as usual, the home team got really excited about this game. It seems we just become the "championship game" for these other SEC teams. It was an exciting game. I was really impressed with that Rot guy and Arkansas's ability to hit key three point shots when they really needed them. It was good to see Bud Walton Arena practically filled after the razorbacks have been dubbed recently as "forty minutes of ho-hum". Leave it to Kentucky to go in there and give them something to cheer about.

I was disappointed to see the Wildcats let another SEC road game slip away, but after some reflection, I understand the importance of this game to the career and well-being of one former Unforgettable, John Pelphrey. It seems many in Fayetteville have dubbed him as Coach Fail-phrey. He has been on the hot seat and really, really needed a win in a bad way. Well, the basketball gods have smiled on our John. Hopefully, he will be around another year for us to dominate his little hogs, yet again, in Rupp Arena.

I have been down with a miserable cold these past several days. Hoping to bounce back today. It was great to help my Dad celebrate his 85th birthday on Sunday, even though most of my family thought I should have kept my germy self at home.

Mark is still working on my Christmas present, a fence that will keep my five dogs in the yard and out of trouble. It will be nice when it's finished.

I hope you also are enjoying early Spring weather. I'm gonna go find my umbrella and my raincoat, so I can get out there and get my day started. Stay dry and safe, luv, Susan
