Fast

 

The wisteria bloomed this week. By the end of the week it was in full bloom and already starting to drop petals. Too fast.

The tulips are all gone, too fast, but the first rose in in bloom!

Columbine and allium are adding color to this bed, where perennials are beginning to take on their "abundant" look.

Life seems to be going fast too. I had PT and dental appointments this week. On Friday evening we decided to go to Irene's last track meet. The 4x400m relays were the last events of the District Meet, so we had dinner a little early and were there for all of the relay heats. It was a lovely evening.

Irene's relay team qualified for this level but were rated very low. Their goal was to not be last.

They weren't. Irene is fast, but not quite fast enough to run at the state level. She is fine with that and ready to move on. Graduation is coming up in a few weeks. Her mother and I were sad to have high school track come to and end, and shed a few quiet tears. We'll probably shed a few more over graduation. 

On Saturday we attended a potluck lunch with our garden club. I bowed out on the garden visit they did in the morning since it just hurts too much for prolonged walking and standing. It was good to see our gardening friends.

Today, Sunday, we are doing laundry and a few house and garden chores. We'll be packing up to head to the Whidbey Island cabin in the morning to spend some time there slowing down.

We do have a slow down spot here too, sitting on the bench on the garden deck, under the wisteria. 

Wisteria overhead, a message in stone: "Truth and Patience matter", so "Breath easy, just because."
