Full of Grace

  • The results of my uterine biopsy were all negative. I am probably still looking at a prophylactic hysterectomy in the future to reduce my cancer risks but it is not a decision I have to make immediately. I am much relieved.
  • Winning big at the Preakness.  And by big I mean Martha has to make me dinner for a week.
  • Beautiful weather has finally arrived and with it shorts and capris and going barefoot.
  • Taking long neighborhoods bike rides to take in the sweet smell of lilacs and barbecues.
  • Early planted lettuce is up and providing salads every night. Peas are almost ready and the beans are uncurling themselves through the soil.  I love this time of year!

    1. Spring is the best. But then summer comes and that is the best. And I feel the same about fall and winter. Life is good.

  2. I am so relieved that your test results came back negative! Whew! Thank you for sharing that good news first. :-)
    Way to go on your Preakness win. Was Martha betting on Nyquist? We all want a Triple Crown winner, but it is a rarity.
    Spring - such a hopeful season. Your spring is quite delayed if the lilacs are blooming! Ours were done weeks ago. Sorry, not gloating. I'm impressed with your garden - already getting salads, wow!

    Thank you, 8, for this happy and encouraging post. :-)

    1. It looked like out Spring was going to be early here and plants started budding but then we had 2 weeks of freezing temps which did a lot of damaged. I only had about 10% of my usual lilacs, which came late, and there is great concern about the apple crop. And yes, Martha had Nyquist. Silly girl.

  3. Such good news! And isn't this time of year magnificent? I marvel each morning when I walk the dog and the sun is already up and but it's still cool enough for a jacket...just the best.

    1. Indeed. I love living where there are 4 distinctly beautiful seasons (although winter could be a tad shorter : )

    Ahhh riding. Yum. I too, am enjoying the lilacs and other pleasant smells of Spring. Though,, mostly via dog walking and a little bit of riding.
