I’m not a big fan of change, so of course I don’t like the fact that our postal carrier of over 30 years is retiring soon. I’ll miss him! How to bid him farewell and to honor him is a subject buzzing around the hood, as neighbors fondly call our neighborhood. He’s not retiring for a couple of weeks so thankfully we still have time to figure it out.

Not only that, Piper’s and my favorite UPS driver is retiring in a couple of months. Sigh. We’ll miss him too!

I feel the same resistance to resetting my many battery-run clocks again. I’m not finished yet, but change them I must. Unless I want to move to a state where there is no flip-flopping in time twice a year. 

My sister was delighted to swap out her winter clothing weeks ago—on the early side. Me? I’m hanging on to my warm fleece zip-ups and vests because temperatures will likely drop again. Or not. Raincoats are a must all year.

I do enjoy glimpses of change such as the spring blooms like daffodils and hellebores that Piper and I see when we’re out walking. We live in an area with many varieties of flowering cherry trees, although most aren’t in bloom yet. I adore seeing the first evidence of cherry blossoms! Eventually the University of Washington campus will have a spectacular array.
