Spring wildflowers

One huge advantage of being retired is to be able to go at a more relaxed pace, unencumbered by rigid schedules or the normal everyday stresses of career, etc. What we've found, and we certainly aren't setting any precedents here, is that we linger longer to really enjoy and appreciate wonders that we previously might have rushed right on past. We entered this mode initially when we were on our western camping adventure, and are happily "snailing" along now. Some think it's the result of us being almost senior citizens, and that is probably a little bit true, but we tend to believe it is more about savoring the moment(s). Okay, that said, I'm going to bore you with some pictures of spring flowers found mostly in our yard, but a couple were taken on one of our hikes. As you probably know by now, it doesn't take much to give us pleasure and entertain us these days!
