Spring?

A grandgirl and her ladybug.

This week ends the latest set of freeze warnings for nights, and quite a bit of sun, maybe up to 76° today.  The ladybugs have returned.  I think I have several kinds of spring fever.  The house is getting cleaner by the day.  This morning I'll take the window cleaner in hand and get after some of those smudges.  Yesterday I got my hair trimmed up.  I've been letting it grow for nearly a year and pruning my bangs myself.  My hairdresser friend Tina took me in right away when I called and fixed my hair.  She did a great job.  She put in some kind of conditioner that smelled heavenly and even after a shower and shampoo at home my hair feels so smooth. 

Normally I wouldn't wash my hair so soon after having all that care lavished on it but I went home and attempted to garden, good for the yard not so good for me.  I got some weeds pulled, pots cleared and fertilized and planted petunias and pansies.  Then the hay fever hit, dust, mold, and plant bits.  Hopped out of my garden gear and into the shower.  Washing and antihistamines helped but I spent the evening red eyed and sneezing, but with lovely hair.  I think I will bribe my grandgirls to do the outside spring cleanup.

My second Tai Chi class was a good as the first.  I still find my feet lagging behind my arms but will practice at home today.  I leave class happy and filled with energy.  Could this stuff really work?  Our class is all over age 70 including our instructor who is in his 80's.  He warns us to be careful of our knees and stops for every now and then to do loosening up movements so no one gets in over their head so to speak.  As easy as it looks when he does his moves it is actually a bit of work but so graceful, like dancing.  I am looking forward to getting both halves of my body to dance together.
