The snow has melted away and the weather turned fair so I'm getting out to walk again. I'm even more motivated this year as walking is supposed to be very helpful for disk degenerative disease and now I've got my comfy new shoes. Yesterday I had some packages to mail so I walked down to the post office. The trees are just beginning to really come into bloom and I could see swelling buds just about everywhere. My allergies are improving though so I suspect the cedar is done.
