What's Goin' On

I can't believe how much easier this recovery has been compared to my recovery with W.

This time around--surely, by the grace of God--I already feel like my normal self again. I've got energy to exercise, I'm back to working on various projects around the house, I get ready every day, my house is mostly clean, and I feel like walking pretty much everywhere. So here are a few pics from some recent walks.

And here's one of Miss Ada, just because it makes me smile:
