Current puzzle: difficult and slow going, partly because I’m outside when I can be so I’m not devoting as much time during the course of a day to it as I did during the winter and partly because… it’s difficult.
I’m sure you’ve noticed that, as of today, I have stopped using the pandemic day count as the title of my post. I was meditating this morning and I felt a clear direction to stop and move forward. So I have. In the end, making the decision was simple. Of course, now I have to go back to thinking up a title for each post, but I did it for twelve years, so I guess I can do it again!
The endless rain has stopped, at least until Saturday, when more is predicted. Both Don and I are ready to get back outside. I think a good portion of the day today and Friday will be taken up with mowing. I’m also going to prune some bushes today and do whatever else seems indicated before we mow in the afternoon (we have to give the grass some time to dry.) The two rivers that run through our neighborhood are very high at the moment and quite loud. I can see the tiny beginnings of leaves forming on the catalpas, which are always the last trees to leaf out and everywhere else there is green, green, green.
It’s been a long time coming.
Today is my brother’s birthday. He would have been 74. He’s been on my mind a lot lately. I miss him. Happy Birthday, Dave. It’s also the birthday of his youngest son, Eric, who lives in Chicago. I got to spend some time with Eric when Don was touring in Margaritaville.
Okay. Time to get a move on!
Stay safe.
Happy Thursday.
