Goals 2021 -- April and May Recap

Have you wondered where I have been for the last month?  Me too.  Have you wondered why I didn't have a May goal?  Me too.  Things got crazy at work, and then all that craziness trickled down into my daily life and consequently I haven't blogged in over a month!  Lots has happened in the meantime (more on that later).

So for now, about my goals:

- Mountain biking - this one was a fail.  It was a mix of the spring rain and needing every free minute of the weekend to catch up on what I didn't get done during the week.
- Dining al fresco - success.  Another combo here, but this time a helpful one: vaccine effectiveness and the warmer weather.  I have been out for a few meals, and have had some cocktails out on my own front porch.  Quite lovely!
- Reading in the fresh air - working is reading, right?  Does that count?  I did a lot of work out on the front porch during the nice weather, until the pollen chased me back inside.  We seem to be past the worst of it, so as long as the temperatures aren't too high, I may try to get back out there again!
- Getting the remainder of my gardens planted - done.

The whole work overload issue made these months less fun than I hoped.  It's a shame when some of the nicest weather of the year passes you by because you're stuck in front of a computer.  But, I did manage to make the most of it even under those unfortunate conditions.
