| Bursting to bloom lilac buds |
I managed to walk twice around the lake for a total of 5.2 miles, so I guess I can say that I am back to normal with the hip business. I'm not as fast as I was, but who cares? I can do it, once again. I made the mistake of not wearing my waterproof light boots, and it was a muddy mess on the trail around the lake, which I should have realized. No matter, they will clean up just fine.
Then Lily and I went over to the Farmers' Market, where every person I saw was wearing a smile and basking in the sun's rays. Those of you who don't have days and weeks of rain have no idea how happy we become when that yellow sun begins to shine here. It's the beginning of a wonderful season to come! Yay!!

Good to hear you are back on form. Sunshine brings a smile to most people who appreciate the outdoors.
ReplyDeleteLove lilac. And that looks like a dark beauty.
ReplyDeleteOn this side of the world I smile to see rain. The unfamiliar can be charming.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Aw, yes! Sunshine for Easter weekend. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteYou know me...bring on the sunshine! We've had a gorgeous couple of days here and I couldn't be happier. Especially now that I know you are back in fighting form. Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteYay is right. You are back in the swing of things and it's spring!
ReplyDeleteSounds like spring is around the corner for good. Yay.
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than your day...a good walk, blooms and farmer's market.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a sunny day. We had one here, too. Cool, but sunny.
ReplyDeleteHey, 5.2 miles is terrific!
ReplyDeleteThings have been blooming in Portland for a month. I just took a hike in the columbia river gorge today and found lots of lovely wildflowers.
ReplyDeleteOut here for two weeks, and finding it amazing how many shrubs are in beautiful blooms! Coming to see some tulips!
ReplyDeleteWe've actually got grass turning green here. Whoohoo! Happy Easter. I hope the sun is still shining. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, speed is for race horses. Enjoyment is for the rest of us. So glad you are back in the game. Happy Easter Djan.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring, DJan! I'm so glad your hip is pretty much back to normal. Have a wonderful spring week.
ReplyDeleteWow Lilacs already !! We are five maybe six weeks behind you. Th wind was horrible here yesterday it must have been your Thursdays wind that finally reached us :)
ReplyDeleteIt is always so amazing how every plant just feels the energy of the sun and it's DNA goes to work. Wonderful creations.
ReplyDeleteI love the white blooms from the family of lilacs.
Glad you feel better.
