Thank you for all your prayers. My dad is feeling better. Out of ICU and in a regular room. Rehab is the next step. One day at a time.

My brother, Tom, Denny, and I have had an awful 10 days. My dad had a heart attack on Jan 11 and spent a scary week in ICU. He’s been in a regular room for the last three days. Don’t know where he’s going next.

We need a little summer
Right this very minute
Chinese lanterns on the patio
Burgers on the barbecue
Yes, we need a little heat wave
Right this very minute
We haven't seen a single firework
But Fourth of July we're in a hurry!

Janowski Gardens will not have business as usual this year.
Diane’s mom and dad, Hilde and Bob, are 94 years old and simply are not able to perform the strenuous tasks.
In March Uncle Paul and I were cutting one of the dead ash trees for the woodstove in the barn. The log rolled and broke his right leg. He is unable to drive his car, let alone use the tractor to plow and disk the fields.
I’m back in my studio painting. Diane is writing and publishing new books.
We’ll keep you posted with progress and changes.
