It's 7:30 AM and I'm sitting here at the computer, enjoying the morning quiet. Lots of people around but not too many up at this hour. It's hazy and cool, thermometer reads 59 degrees. Zach is in for the Memorial Day weekend and we decided to beat the warm weather and retreat up to the hills. Ben and Emma came along as well. Since Zach was not here for the holidays Ellen made a brisket last night with kasha, delish.
I love getting up early, making a pot of coffee, and relaxing until everyone else gets up, usually a fair amount later. On previous visits it still looked like winter up here, but now the trees are leafed out and all we can see is green. It's like - well it actually is - living in the middle of a forest. We can see one house from the screen porch and one from the driveway, that's all. And fortunately, those neighbors are almost never here.
Not much to report on the cancer front. Only a few tolerable reactions to the last chemo treatment. My hair is falling
out, still have enough left to cover. I went on a fairly strenuous fishing trip last week - lots of wading, walking, climbing up and down steep banks, etc. and I had pretty much normal energy. Attached are pictures of a nice brown trout from the Lehigh river and my fishing pal Dan. Dan has been doing all the driving on these trips so I can reserve my energy for the fishing! He even lets me catch some trout!
