Monday

Sunny, busy, early spring-like, so busy.

Well aren't we all!

For me, there is an acceleration of mom stuff. I want to have her in her new place early next week. That's ambitious, but doable.

But first, breakfast.






Then I get busy. Lists, phone calls to various sources and resources -- all this before a meeting with my mom and a staff member of the new facility -- uff! Good time management is a skill worth having, even in your retirement.

But there is still time left for a walk. And here, Ed and I take advantage of the new development's network of quiet roads. This is one good consequence of losing farmland to a massive new buildup next door: we now do not have to get in the car to go somewhere for a safe walk. We've got the the newly emerging neighborhood right by the farmette land. And it's not all parceled lots and mushrooming new houses. There are still pretty landscapes to behold. Like the one across the road from us.






This is when the sun really takes hold, chasing away all remaining clouds and giving us brilliant spring light. The kind you can only dream about in December.

And in that dazzling sunshine, I then set out to pick up Snowdrop and Sparrow at school.










It surely had to have been the best part of the day!

And yes, I fell asleep tuckered out, forgetting to click "publish." When was the last time that happened? Never!
