#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Maple blooms in wetlands morning

Lovely sunshine and a clear sky. Frank and I visit before he goes to his meeting and I for my swim. Another fabulous, energetic swim. A short walk with Charlie. It’s Sunday and a holiday tomorrow in Massachusetts––Patriot’s Day and the Boston Marathon. I have the day to get done what I want to get done. I send my weekly Aim for Astonishing email. No writing today. It’s finally yard work day. I rake gardens and fill wagons full of dead leaves. I pick up sticks. I take down old wreaths. It’s a beginning. Frank joins me and helps. I stay out for three hours and feel this is a strong beginning. The weather upcoming will make being outdoors working pleasant. There is someone who loves to help with yard work who is missing. I am glad to be home. Instead of making dinner everyone eats leftovers and I have a nap which is good.
