SPRING TIME

The wonderful thing about springtime is that it gives you new energy.  Things you have been putting off doing you happily tackle.  We have started the ponds runnung again and fixed up the shade deck.  It was looking very sad with fallen needles off the trees and green slime.  I do not know where that comes from but dad tackled it with a brush and lots of soap.

We also put up some curtains.  Dad insisted he would go up the ladder and it was very scary when he took a little fall.  I hope he remembers this when he insists he can climb up on our roof.

I think all the weeds in our garden have been re energized too as I aweat and strain trying to dig them out.  I tell myself I just need to do a small area and I do.

Dad took time out to visit the neighbors and try sitting in their electric car.  He is dreaming of getting one too.  They commented on how much better he is walking and looking and I agree.  It makes us both feel hopeful.  Dad is making an effort to walk better and keep moving and doing and take his vitamens especially the Alpha Lipoic Acid twice a day with food.

Hope is like a road in the countrywhere there was no road until many people had walked along that way,  "The road comes into existence." -   L Yutang.
