Some Progress

 It sorta feels like an avalanche of to-dos.

 Progress is being made but not nearly as quickly as I would like.

There is the inside stuff and the outside stuff. To top it off temps in the 90s slow up the outside. Spring is late this year and then I saw a blurb on Facebook that said Spring happened Sunday, May 8th. It was a one-day event. 

We have had a family saying for years, usually aimed at Butch about not going after a project as though you were killing snakes. He has always had that tendency. We have slowed down considerably in the past few years knowing that it is counterproductive and can put you out of commission for far longer than it would if you had stopped to smell the roses now and then.

Butch is getting some golf played. For so very long his back was giving him trouble and he wasn't sure he could play. That crisis has passed.

We are getting back to our routine of playing pool every day at 4:00 pm for an hour. Progress for me on that has been slow as well or might I say like a roller coaster.

Bottom line? It has been a stressful month. And the end of the tunnel seems to be a ways off yet.

All this too shall pass...

Here are some phone pics recently taken:

In many of the past years, we have missed the blooming of our tulips. They would be done with by mid-April when we arrived. Not this year! It has been one of the pleasant surprises.

This one was taken at Costco where we were trying to buy gas. There were at least 9-10 cars in every lane. Patience prevailed and we were able to fill up. Don't ask me the price! Butch is the one who keeps up with that stuff.

Before Butch found out his back would sustain golf, he was walking with me on the bike trail. This was our find a few days ago.
