All I thought it should be

rivervoxYoga, walk, writing. Lovely day after a hot weekend. It threatened to rain but we never got a drop. Now it's back to May. The car is yellow with pollen. We might actually need to go to the car wash.
The big event for us was Saturday night. DH and I went to the pub and sat in the alley at a picnic table for stout and fried pickles. It was lovely to sit outside, under the lights and be in a semi-public place. A red letter day. I hope that all the outdoor dining spaces remain. The town has also installed "parklets" where people can sit on the street. A good thing to hold onto.
Yesterday I did chores and errands. Violet and I went out to Webster Woods which was green and beautiful. We both had an allergic reaction to something, which cleared up when we left. I'm so glad we got out. Just a few minutes in the real woods is like a vacation. Wish I didn't have to drive to get there. We had pizza for dinner and watched Schitt's Creek and Shtisel. Then some Amer. Gods and a Friday Night Dinner. Saturday night we all watched the original Rebecca, which is just brilliant. We ordered Dumpling Daughter, but it was really not enough food for everyone. I think they were off their game.
Honey is done with school and has started her spring program with camp. I realized today that we have to be 100% ready for Dublin before she goes to Palmer. A daunting task, but certainly easier than preparing her to go while she was in high school. This week Violet will film her play and go to the student directed festival on Saturday. Friday night is the Improv Battle and Honey will take part. Theater has really saved them over the pandemic. Connecting with other kids and being creative and focused has made the days richer.
I'm grateful for the green leaves, blue sky and vaccines. Grateful to be able to do things again, even go to the supermarket, without panic. We seem to have made it through the storm. At least this storm.
