Notes of Concern…
…Jackson Blair
Gesundheit!
I awakened this morning as the sun poured in our bedroom windows. It seems like only yesterday I was writing about the snow.
I looked outside through the glass and could see puddles where a lot of that aforementioned snow had melted. It was obvious the ground was getting muddy
I hurried to get dressed as I had a meeting at 9AM. A meeting on Sunday morning is unusual for me but it was the only time that suited everyone. When I went out to meet my guests in the driveway it really looked considerably different than it did only two weeks ago.
Not only could I see the driveway, I could see where the plowing had dug up huge areas of grass and I envisioned the seeding that would soon be necessary there.
As I looked down the drive I saw a young woman walking her child in a stroller. Further down the street some boys were riding their bicycles. These are strange sights for the middle of March but they are also signs that a new season will soon be upon us.
By the time my meeting ended I decided to head out for some brunch. It was such a great day I began to think of a number of “honey do” items that could no longer be avoided.
I needed to take down the outdoor Christmas wreaths. I needed to re-hang the American Flag. It was necessary to prop up my Notary Pubic sign and to be certain the Canine Fence sign could be seen from the sidewalk.
My head was full and I was feeling a little lethargic. How could it be that on this beautiful day, with the temperature showing at 68 degrees, I could feel unwell?
And then it came to me!
After all of these years I am still surprised when the old allergies act up, as they often do with the changing of seasons. A quick trip to the medicine cabinet and the downing of one little white allergy pill pretty much guaranteed I would enjoy the remainder of the beautiful day without so much as a sneeze!
Nevertheless, I might as well get ready for the season of Gesundheit!
