Sand in the Hourglass

I didn't make blood orange cocktails, but hope to one day--
I sliced and juiced to make a salad with watercress, blue cheese crumbles and pistachios.

Suddenly, I have more time, now that Dad is gone. I cry often, though, missing him. Remembering his face a lot. Will the day come when I can't? Hope not.

Did some gardening in the sun today, but we have a lot more to do. So much old dead grass, so many twigs to rake up. Lingering glass shards and nails from the reconstruction--visible now that the snow banks have finally thawed. Want to pick them up so Figgy, Punch, Sugar and the neighborhood kids don't get hurt.

It's been a long, hard winter. But today boot camp was back in the park again, after months indoors! It felt good to be out under the blue sky. Also took a walk tonight with Moey and Sug.

Going to visit Sis and Don in Greenwich for part of the weekend. Eager to see pretty coastline, and talk/laugh to Sis about Dad.

Made a nice salad with watercress and blood oranges, thanks to Lisa, a boot camp friend who blogged about it today: www.thislittlepiggywenttothefarmersmarket.com. Trying to take better care of myself. Never too late to turn the tide, right?

Good night.
