May Days

Four deer were in the meadow when I stepped out the back door this morning. They stare at me, I stare at them. We both know the game--they hang out in broad daylight so I can be amazed by their presence and fill the feeders again. They empty the feeders. Both sides know how it works; there are no surprises.

What is surprising is that Kevin walked home from work for lunch yesterday and again today. Walking has a teeter totter impact on him. He feels better and his body recovers better when he has a good walk each day. On the flip side, the effort just wears him out now with his blood counts being so low.

His internal thermostat is a little skewed too. Hot when he would normally be cold and cold when he would usually be sweating. So it's a little funny to see him trotting up the road wearing his heavy coat and gloves in late May.

He's definitely felt better the last couple of days but I still think the visible sweeper is a sign of a pending eruption from an overstuffed Forbidden Closet.
