Mother Nature has finally decided to cut us a break. Middle of last week it was still cold and damp. Higher elevations even had snow. Yesterday, we hit high 70's. Can't ask for better than that. Oakhurst hit the 80's, I'm up another 300' or so and surrounded by trees so it's always a little cooler here, good thing in the summers, not so much in the winters.
My yard is now full of color and the pond is working. I need to add some more fish. The broken waterfall is almost refurbished. I can't find the leak to repair it so I'm covering it and placing plants in among the rocks. I think it's going to be fine.
Kate and I are back to daily walks and they're getting longer (much to her delight). Yesterday I broke out the power washer and taught myself how to use it. The back deck and front porch are in dire need. I'll get them washed down this week along with the patio furniture and the eaves under the house and then I'll plant myself out on the chaise with a good book during the heat of the day.
This is my kind of weather. I know it won't last, it's going to be "hot" soon but I'll take what I can get. The sun is shining, I don't hurt as much as I do in the cold, wet winter. But I'm above the extreme heat of the city. Life is good!
