We started our day in a very light rain. I thought perhaps that Elegante Mother would refuse to go to exercise, but she went, without complaint. I like almost all of the music this session, which makes exercise easier. But, today we discovered that our exercise guru is capable of extending the songs digitally, and we’re working a little harder than we were a few weeks ago.
\nOur guru, “Gentle Dragon,” has been focusing on hip exercises the past couple of months, and I must need these exercises, because my hips have been aching. It’s not bad enough to do anything about it; I can control it with regular doses of Ibuprofen.I know that in the long run, this is good for me, so I try to make it to class. I thought I was going to miss on Friday, but the dentist rescheduled my appointment, so I’ll get to exercise.
\nI was sitting in the “green room,” the room off the kitchen that holds the plants and the casual dining table, having toast, and there was a flash of light. I wondered if it had something to do with my eye problem, but about 15 seconds later there was one LARGE boom of thunder! Just one. It seems that most of the daytime thunderstorms went north of us.
\nWe had about an hour of lovely sunlight before the clouds closed in again. We’re supposed to have thunderstorms tonight.
\nThe two retention ponds immediately to the east of us have been very poorly designed. They were fine when there were no houses, but the contractor who owned the land, clear cut it, dredged out more lake area and then connected those lakes to these two retention ponds, and covered it with houses and apartments. I think it’s all supposed to drain out the southern most pond. BUT….they underestimated the amount of flow.
\nA year later, they came back and increased the size of the lake. I still don’t think they have estimated the flow correctly, because we have been in drought since the houses were built.
\nI’m taking bets. I think by Friday those two lakes will become one, and our road will be under water. If it happens….I’ll have pictures!
\nHappy Spring, all! Enjoy the warmer weather!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
