Today was the first day that really felt like summer, it was up in the 90s. The arboretum is exploding with blossoms.

You didn’t eat enough dirt when you were a kid!

We were busy (in groups at construction sites) throwing clumps of it at each other. We called it “dirt war.”

I always am glad to hear that you are well enough to be out and about. I hope the scooter is working out for you.

Oh and the pix are great too!

Thanks, the scooter is great. I’m hanging in, looks like I’m going to need to carry an oxygen tank again. I do OK sitting still but I don’t like sitting still! My insurance will cover a rig that fills 6 hour bottles at home, at least until Obamacare kicks in. No telling what will happen then. Insurance which only covers what you “need” is much different from insurance which lets you have some kind of a life. I may soon be paying more for less!
