Azaleas On Steroids

What a day!  The Boy and his problems, even 250 miles away they seem to follow me.  His cell phone died (he usually goes through 2 or 3 to my 1),  he decides that he needs to file income taxes even though he doesn't have a job and hasn't made any money last year (at least none that I know of), he has two holds on his college account and won't be able to register for Fall classes until hie takes care of them, and various other things that he wants me to take care of since he "doesn't have a cell phone" (even though he somehow managed to call me from his computer to complain about all the above things).  It's complicated.

I worked out this morning before trying to put out some of these fires, but I still needed to run, bike or swim or all of the above. (maybe all at the same time from the way I felt most of the day)  I finally made it outside this evening to get a short 4 mile run in before dark.  The rain has cleared up for now, but it was still very humid.  I felt much better afterward.  The azalea's in the yard are blooming like mad from all the rain.  It looks like we have azaleas on steroids in the yard.

Beautiful.

The Dogwood trees are blooming too.  And the yellow pollen has been washed away.  It's very nice.

Before long it will be time to uncover the pool.

Deep breath...

Serenity now!
