Day 1855: Sunning Snakes

It's been a happy week of catching up with our civilian lives.  I spent most of my time planting my container gardens and swimming.  We didn't even go out to dinner because I didn't want to get dressed up and put on make up.  Take out pizza, hot dogs and leftovers were just fine.
I may have overdone it a bit on the flowers, but I do not care.  The pots are gorgeous.  So far, I've created thirty fabulous pots.  
Plus, I swam 3.25 miles!  Starting with 50 lengths a week ago when the water was 74 degrees, the temp and the lengths increased steadily throughout the week up to 130 lengths in 80 degree water.  It was lovely, but in my eagerness, I have overly strained my elbow so it's time to rest.  


Lovely lupines in Molly's Garden



Laurie's new house

We have worked like demons to refurbish her new house and polish the exterior so it looks occupied.    The rhododendron wasn't in full bloom when she left, but it's gorgeous now.

We walked a lot during our recovery week and discovered the wonders of spring spread throughout this little village.  Twice we spied this snake looped over this log in Canadaway Creek.  Can't blame her for catching a few rays.

Much like DT.  Basking in the sunlight of his power, he makes it all about him.  He pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accords, aligning the US with Syria and Nicaragua and abdicating US power to China.  We just gave them the opportunity to lead the world in energy production.  Fortunately, states, cities and companies across the US are banding together with Mexico and Canada to meet the standards set in the Paris Accords.  
Now, he's in a twitter war with the Muslim mayor of London who was simply trying to defend his city during another terrorist attack.  It is gruesome to watch.  Comey testifies to the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday and it should be extraordinary testimony.  Never in history has a US president done so much damage in such a short time.
