Kate has spent a lot less time in the yard this spring than she did last spring, summer, and fall. Today seems like the old days. We both woke up early this morning (a Saturday) when we would normally sleep a little later. I was up at 5:00 and walking at 6:10. When I returned home at 7:20, Kate was working in the flower bed in the front of the house. She remained out there until 9:00 when she came in. After lunch today, she expressed an interest in going to Lowe’s to buy more plants. I took her. When we got home from Lowe’s, she went outside and remained there until almost 6:00. We went to dinner and got home about 40 minutes ago. She went back to the yard where she is pruning. While I don’t believe the pruning is necessary or that we need more plants, I am very happy that she seems to be back into yard work. She enjoys it, and it prevents boredom that occurs when she sits inside and works jigsaw puzzles on her iPad.
