Good Friday afternoon... in Flash

(note I'm putting everything in Flash book because it's at the top of the list. I know I can move books around but I don't know what I want at the top so I haven't done it yet. you know me.)

The photo of the well-lit crocus was taken this afternoon. I was raking the bank behind the clothesline and discovered it.

Besides raking, today was a good day for:

• watching the eagle babies being fed parent-minced squirrel
• hanging out a few loads of clothes
• sitting leaning against the deck post writing a bit in Prosebox.

I hear cows in chorus calling for babies that only occasionally answer. I hear a woodpecker banging away in a dead tree. I hear traffic on the next gravel road down the valley.

I called the hospital in the neighboring town that does the Wellness blood testing and was told I could stop any weekday morning and leave a sample. I think I'll do it on the second on my way home from the big tooth appointment. They test your blood for almost everything and charge almost nothing for the service. I had it done two years ago and I can compare the results now. I'll take both results when I get around to having my Welcome to Medicare physical sometime later this year. There. That sounds like a plan..

I'd really l like to get my walking capability back. I'd like to do my 5.5 mile loop at least one day every weekend. I can't take Gracie but I suppose she would understand it was for both of our own goods. Meanwhile she and I can go for shorter dog walks that would include either of the big hills. I plan one of those when i get done writing here.

Happy holiday friends. Or do I mean hoppy?
