Sometimes life isn’t so tough.

And sometimes it is. I won’t show the shot of the many deer on the highways. We keep growing into wildlife habitats and complaining they are in the way.

Anyway, back to us human beings. In looking at these young deer I’m thinking of my granddaughter starting kindergarten this year. That is going to take away our Fridays together. I don’t think she has fully realized this yet.

I’m sure she will adapt fine to it with some of her current classmates coming along to her new school. She seems to have no problems making friends. I worry about adapting to this. This past Friday was so special. We measured her height, made a new mark on the doorframe, and dated it. We went to the snowball stand, tickled, had a tea party, a drawing session and just played.

As she was leaving she pointed to my car and said I want to ride in that one. I had to explain that it was only a 2 seat car and she couldn’t ride till she was big enough for a regular seat and seatbelt. But I’ll check with her mom to see if its okay to ride her in the driveway. That’s the first time she’s asked about that and I can’t wait to take her for a ride in the Miata someday. And at the same time, I don’t want her to grow up too fast.

Life is about change. And change is hard sometimes. I’ll adapt to this one but that dedicated time we had together will be hard to replace.

Yesterday I realized my age and body weren’t what my mind was telling me. I’m having to take more breaks between the heavy yard work. This coming week will be a test as the really warm weather returns.

Have a good morning all.
