Beautiful weather in the 70's. Took Hubby and Bella the Labradoodle for a walk in the woods.Feel fortunate to be able to walk a bit.. tomorrow myelogram and probably soon more spinal fusion. Needless to say had a great time leaving cares and woes behind.

I have so much to be thankful for: not having to spend the winter in the water geese, didn't get wet in this  storm and finally reflecting that if my mother had never crossed the Atlantic many years ago, I would not be here. Have to fess up here, did not take that last shot.
