Yes, there is plenty to blog on today. Politics, catching up with some Jehovah’s Witnesses in the news, activist links… I spent much of yesterday proofreading my son’s elementary school yearbook.

Today, it was just too gorgeous not to play and be happy. Since I didn’t have to go to work (at my part-time job), I’ve been playing hooky.

I planted caladium and candytuft and dianthus and hostas and impatiens and a big patch of ever-bearing strawberries. I’ve now got baskets of geraniums hanging by the back door. I didn’t get to the dahlias, though.

After my bookworm winter, some good exercise was appreciated by my aging body (even if I did probably go at it a little too much in one day).

Enjoying the warmth of the sun, smelling the reviving lavender, seeing the various perennials starting to sprout. Ahhh… bliss.

That hot tub sure is going to feel good tonight.
