Less pain than yesterday so a victory to start the day. And a beautiful sunny day outside to enjoy and revel in. I’ll open the shed soon for the implements to battle Mother Nature. The hammock and cushions are already out.

An open day except a trip to Lowes and some chores. A busy weekend ahead filled with family and activities.

The rain was really needed. I’m worried that it’s been so dry that the color this year might be a bit muted.
