Peace

Peace.

I love the Spring rain. I love the smell.  I am so lucky to live in a small town with no big city odor.  Crocuses are popping up, tulips are starting to emerge.  I'm sitting in my comfy new chair with Bree at my feet.  Bree and I took a nice, wet, and muddy walk today, as evidenced by her pawprints in the sun room.  I'm re-reading "Peace is Every Step" again, as well as re-reading "The Hobbit" for the umpteenth time.

Days like today are meant to be savored.  Mother Nature is giving us the day off.  In a few weeks we'll be breaking ground for my new vegetable garden.  I've already ordered some heirloom seeds...I'll need to block out an area to decide how large this garden will actually be. I cannot WAIT to get out there and start planting.

Since the boardwalk and trail from Dexter to Hudson Mills has been finished, Michael and I will be heading into Ann Arbor to pick out bikes at The Student Bike Shop soon. I'm hoping it's still there, as I haven't driven past it in a while.  The trail is about 5 miles long one way, so it will be a nice ride, and great opportunity for photographs.  Bree and I have partially walked the trail, but, I always have to keep in mind that we need to consider the walk back.  I'm so glad that, at age 9, Bree has no arthritis issues. Keeping her active is key.  I am looking for a big fluffy puppy for Bree and I to love, so I'm watching the HVHS carefully.

I have laundry, and some cleaning to do...but meh. Not today.  It'll hold.

Life is sweet.
