So it seems that May, or at least the beginning of May, is looking more like April is supposed to look like. With all this rain today and more in the immediate forecast the song may have to be rewritten to “May showers brings June flowers.”

When people ask me how my mom is doing I usually answer, fine. She lives alone, it’ll be 10 years this year, she still drives and she’s doing well. But I have noticed that she’s reacting to the weather more as she’s been getting older. A couple years ago I could have seen her easily go out to dinner with us today, despite the weather (and it’s not because of Covid, she’s had her two shots and she did go out to Eat ‘N Park for dinner with me the other day). I guess it’s just one of those things you react more too when you reach your 90’s.
