Enjoying Spring

I’m starting to really enjoy this Spring. The weather has been very nice — somewhat cooler than usual — but I like that. I’m in no rush for the hot, humid weather we usually get here in Virginia. I’m trying to enjoy some of my old time hobbies that I hadn’t had time for the past year or so. I feel I somewhat lost touch with reality the past year while I was busy with an online venture I started (in which the time commitment was enormous but has since dwindled down considerably). I’m finally taking some time to smell the roses. I actually DO have a beautiful flower garden this year. Everything is just beginning to take off. The spring rains have helped a lot. And our lawn looks the best it has in the entire eight years we’ve lived in this house.

And, I’m reading a novel for the first time in ages. Mary Higgins Clark is one of my favorite authors. I use to read all her books the minute they were on the shelf at the store. Currently, I’m reading her latest “Where are you Now?” I’m about a third of the way through the book and she is still a great writer.

Our neighborhood pool also opened this past weekend — and guess what — they now have wireless internet service — so, I’ll definitely be taking the kids there a lot this summer!

Tonight I plan on climbing up to the attic to bring down our luggage — our Disney trip is just a month away — but it takes me a while to get 5 people packed so I begin early.
