I went for my simple walk with abbey as I do every morning. We walk one time around my" Leave it to Beaver" neighbor since Abbey now 13, has typical yellow lab arthritis and bad hips. We thought for sure she would be gone by now after her difficult winter. A visit from the mobile vet and some pain meds and she is doing ok. Today on our walk I couldn't help noticing different nauseating fragrances of "Bounce" as passed different houses on our block. No offensive to Bounce users but I am very chemically sensitive and the less chemicals the better. Although the day is quite gray, I feel spring in the air. I am working on a really interesting piece. I went to bed dreaming about working on it today. I am hoping to finish it by the end of the day but that might be impossible- We'll see
