\"\"The U.S. Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to the summer season. Swimming pools open and there is much frivolity and celebrations for picnics and outdoor activities.<\/p>\n

\n…most of my weekend caring for my Spouse, nursing him back to stable, but not great, health. <\/p>\n

Part of the recovery plan included getting out for some exercise and fresh air, so we visited a local gem — a beautiful county park close to where we live. We walked about two miles around the perimeter of the park, stopping occasionally so The Spouse could recover a bit to press on.<\/p>\n

The nicest part of this park, in my opinion, is the rose garden — here are two thorns among the roses:\"\"Otherwise, we did some household chores and mowed the lawn. I took lovely LOLITS grocery shopping, visited some family briefly, and planned a motorcycle ride on Monday.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Monday morning greeted us with rain, so the ride didn’t happen. Spouse and I watched a movie instead. After lunch, however, it had stopped raining and dried up, so I went out for a two-hour ride with a buddy.
