Greener

So there is a lot less tree in my backyard, after an amazing Saturday with crazy tree guys acting like Jedi acrobats. Lots of big pieces of it on the ground. It looks kind of embarrassed - a little naked, but definitely still there. I am so glad we decided not to take the whole thing down!

The rest of the yard is getting greener and greener. I do love Spring. The hot tub is empty, awaiting a dry day to move it to its summer home on the deck extension. It's just about time to get to the garden center to buy all the annuals, and maybe a red bud tree or two.

So, my daughter is now a certified adult. Both of my children aren't children anymore...of course, they will ALWAYS be my CHILDREN, but - well, technically, they are adults. I am trying to remember how it felt to turn 18 - and I can't get there. That's okay. I will do it again. Next life. Hmmm. Interesting thought, isn't it?

I feel terrific - my birthday is in a couple of days. My pal and I decorated the bulls for May Day, and that was fun. I am enjoying my little "toy computer," and really have gotten sucked in to Nevada Barr mysteries. Fun. Had a great early morning sprinting session with another pal, and am enjoying the benefits of carb cycling. Life is good!

I am beginning to feel a little more like the "empty nest" is going to have a bigger impact on me that what I had been thinking. But my daughter reminded me that we can have video chats with our new computers because of the built-in cameras. So that will be cool!

It's really all good. All is well. Life is good, and it is supposed to be good.
