Still cold here, and the trees are looking somewhat apprehensive and half-hearted with regard to their obligation to bloom; not the onion grass, however, which was poking up everywhere until it got mowed yesterday…by Peter! I was shocked to hear the mower being cranked (“Who could that be?”) and, sure enough, there was Peter, all bundled up and pushing the mower out of the garage for the first time all Winter.
Other adventures yesterday included a trip to the doctor for Peter to leave some blood to be tested for exposure to Chicken Pox. We are both trying to get our Shingles vaccinations but one must be certain of having had Chicken Pox because the vaccination can cause the disease in a person who has not already been exposed, and Peter couldn’t be sure.
We also drove to Atlanta Airport to pick up daughter Margaret, who had some business in Cancun and arranged to stop over with us for a couple of days on her way back out to the Bay. We stopped at Mall of Georgia for a good dinner on the way home.
So, you see that Peter is getting out and about and resuming many normal activities once more. He just came in from putting out food for the bluebirds we are seeing on the property. One overstressed male has been flying into our windows, attracting the attention of Lemont, our cat. Bluebird and cat were face-to-face, separated only by a pane of glass and a screen. If birds can have heart attacks, I worry for that one.
