Time Marches On



I dusted off this old blog and decided to try and pump some life into it. As the title indicates time has continued to pass and I am now in my 82 year and less than  three months to go before I am 83.

While getting old is pleasing in many aspects, the key is staying healthy and active. I had two months of ill health in February and March, I am now on the road to recovery and looking forward to getting a number of projects completed.  I once read that for every hour we work physically, we live a hour longer.  I have no idea if that is true but I like to believe it.

A serious problem with getting old is that if you get injured or fall sick it takes twice as long to recover than it did when we were young and spry.

I have included this photo I took of a doe and her young fawn, right in front of my driveway, after exiting my woods.  I saw them many times in the woods and had the feeling this was the first time the doe took her offspring out of the woods into the open fields. The fawn was just bounding and bouncing with apparent joy.

I kind of think I feel the same way about my eighty-second spring.
