We’re finally approaching a warm spell that I hope will continue for a while. After today’s high hanging in the low 60s, we will be greeting warmer days in the 70s and 80s over the next two weeks. Now, I must keep in mind that Ohio doesn’t necessarily operate by meteorological norms as we could wake to a blizzard, have a tsunami of rainstorms an hour later, sunny weather by afternoon, and so on.

The special needs classes at next door’s Fairmont High School will have their Fairmont Industries’ flower and plant sale Monday, May 6^th through Thursday, May 9^th. I am hoping to support this wonderful program with some plant purchases this year. I generally purchase several plats of impatiens and a hanging basket. I miss, and do not miss all the hours and effort of previous years, adorning the front and back yard with post-Mother’s Day planting.

Last night, I spent the late afternoon and evening at Schuster for the concert by Casting Crowns. I will be at Victoria Theatre by 3 PM, today, for Theresa Caputo LIVE!, followed by “Ghosts: Do You Believe?” on Friday, and the music of ABBA with the Dayton Philharmonic on Saturday. Next week begins a two-week run in the jungles of Africa with THE LION KING. Those will be busy, tiring, but invigorating nights.

In the midst of all this, I will busy myself with locating a new refrigerator. The unit is almost thirty years old and has been faithful all this time. I have two large coolers for the items that need refrigerated and so far, the freezer is hanging in there.

Five months from today, my body’s odometer with reset to sixty.

On with the day. Make it a great day!
