Little Maple Leaves

The backyard maple tree is continuing to leaf out. The tree thinks that spring has arrived and it is safe to green up.



It was a nice sunny day with a mild breeze. Tennis Dennis judged it to be in the top ten tennis ready days of the year - cool enough to be comfortable but not too cool. The sun was low enough in the sky to be a nonissue, so we played two pretty competitive sets in ninety minutes. Both Dennis and Jerry were there at Marie Park Courts, hitting little yellow tennis balls with each other on the other court. Dennis is about two weeks from his hip replacement and Jerry is reaching the end of his chemotherapy. They were being pretty gentle with the tennis balls, but were happy to be out on such a fine day in May. I pronounce them both hardcore.

KS went out for a run this afternoon. She motored over to the Cathedral and back, a fair distance. Then she went to yoga for ninety minutes this evening. At the same time Unky Herb was out biking in the city by the big river. It has been an active day in the T. Tousan household.

Spring seems to be lagging a bit here, but it sounds like you got in some nice outdoor tennis. Good news that Tennis Dennis and Hardcore Jerry are doing okay. Unky Herb is turning out to be a hard core biker. Allez Herb.
