It’s almost overwhelming, with so much happening as Spring wakes up. Harry is stronger day by day now, while time seems to accelerate. I cannot keep up, but I remain grateful for being surrounded by beauty and fascinating life forms (Harry included in that category).
We have many coyotes around this year, and their nighttime serenades can be rather unsettling. We do worry about the cats, but so far, no problems.
We traveled into St. Louis for Harry’s annual checkup this morning. He received a good report, despite all that has happened in the past six months. The weather was rainy and cool, so the dogs were delighted that they could come along. Alas, today was the last day for Harlan to empty the dumpster, but we left before he arrived. We are changing disposal companies this week.
Many Spring flowers were ruined by the very cold snap in March. Almost no dogwood blooms, which was a disappointment. But on Conway Road, Peter sent a picture of our mother’s azalea, which had a banner year.
Friends and birds abound.
As April draws to a close, we are counting many blessings…
My brother, Jamie, died five years ago. On April 1st, an auspicious day for a joker like Jamie, his first grandchildren were born to Jamie’s daughter, Maddi. They are the first twins in at least three generations – Wyatt and Ruth. Our niece, Rachael, their aunt, sent this picture.
Spring is full of possibility… and lots of work.
Be safe, be well, be kind, be grateful and stay strong. Slava Ukraini! Peace…
