To every season...

 ...turn, turn, turn....

Not sure if that is the exact order of the lyrics, but I'm sure you still get the song in your head. Spring is fully upon us, and the year is almost half over. I am forever amazed at how quickly the pages of the calendar turn over.  Crocus, hyacinth, tulip, and daffodils done. As are the pussy willows. On to the iris, peony, weigelas, and bleeding hearts. Even some of my perennial salvia are starting to bloom. Butterfly bushes and hydrangeas are popping their heads up. So very exciting!!!


Old Business:

  • Finished So I think you need to talk to someone, and have started Massage is Weird.  So very good.
  • Gave up on Lovers for a Day. Started the Wool (Silo) series
  • Trail Guide - doing well
  • Planning for Success - not
  • Magazines - good
  • Running - has been hard since the second round of COVID. Shortly after that, I got strep. I still sound like an emphysema patient.  
  • Craft table - you guessed it. Needs cleaned off
  • Cleaning - always the roll
  • Guitar - lost my streak, but trying to get back on it again
  • Sanding booth - coming along.  It has been some stops & starts, but I think we are on the right track
  • Still with the donut dude. It is definitely fun.  And challenging as I've learned the past couple years how much I really just like being on my own. 
New Business:

  • I hired another therapist, in Marion. So far, she has been wonderful, and might actually spoil me! I think she really has the potential of helping make this a huge deal!! Super excited.
  • Spring cleanup is definitely underway. I have been out weeding quite a bit, and refreshing the leaf mulch.
  • I was elected to the AMTA-IN board, and also serve in the Government Relations position. It has been a serious learning experience, and a lot of fun!
  • Still working with Growing Grounds/Housing Action and trying to find new and helpful ways to serve people.
  • Have many trips planned for the summer: June = visiting my cousin in CO, July = church conference in Cinci, August = AMTA conference in AZ, September = Girl's vacay in FL.
