Don't feel foolish Hops! You are allowed to enjoy this change/addition to your nest! Sometimes it's little things, sometimes bigger ones.
Looks like B's return is imminent. He's mailing a form req'd by his gov insurance today and since he's tech-abhorent it complicates the process every year. He's probably mostly packed/loaded already. But he does take a full day to rest up before making the drive. This time he's towing a trailer with one of my jeeps, so I expect it's going to be a slower trip than usual, at least in some places.
I've been taking a lot of "easy" days - digging up old movies on Ytube, eating, thinking, just working here & there at various projects... and not adding pressure to my life. May is going to be all medical focused for B. Hol will drive for the surgery, since the surgi-center is near DC, and I can't manage trying to find where I'm going with all the impatient drivers and feeling of oppression that cities evoke for me. Over stimuli, for sure. Too much light at night; too much noise; too many people. I just simply can't rally to get through that day with any composure.
One of the drawbacks of choosing hermitude I guess. There are times one can't avoid that busy environment.
There will be some seeds started soon. Some work in the gardens. But I'm really cutting back this year. The weather is bi-polar and frost got one of my geraniums and the tops of the hickory trees. Not unheard of in April but that followed 3 90 degree days. I don't want to put a lot of work into having a big garden then have it all roast in place in August/Sept. Or wash away in July. It's impossible to predict this year. Might just buy some plants too. The herbs look good and I'm composting/mulching them this year.
