Summer Starts in the Hudson Valley

I am sitting out on the deck after a day of cleaning the yard and prepping for summer, tommorrow I headout. Last night we lit the outdoor fireplace lit the lamps and enjoyed the night. Lawn is mowed and I almost feel like I rented a place in the country. Being home sometimes feels like a vacation! The cherry tree above is filled with buzzing bees and hummingbirds visit the newly filled feeders, still the biggest thrill is reading an email from my son Chance who is on a press trip in Madrid with two other writers. One crapped out after landing and missed the city tour. the other faked dinner illness and was caught BSing. He had dinner in the city's football stadium last night and loved it. Tonight he has free time and heading to a bullfight, sounds like an email I wrote many years ago.
