Tuesday, May 11, 2021 -- Mattie died 606 weeks ago today.

Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2005. Mattie was three years old. Every weekend, we would take Mattie on a nature adventure. It really did not matter what the weather was like. I think Peter and I traversed every park and nature center in our region! 

Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update on Johns Hopkins.

• Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 32,773,387
• Number of people who died from the virus: 582,791

I would say that Peter and I are very stressed out! We are each juggling a lot and of course the house hunting and now the purchase of a house are all encompassing. I describe house hunting during COVID like speed dating. You are only allowed a certain amount of time to tour a house. Because appointments are scheduled so that visitors to a house do not overlap. So honestly you feel rushed and even on a good day, I don't like being rushed through anything, much less for the purchase of a big ticket item. 

So today mid-day, we took a walk with Sunny on Roosevelt Island. I have been so busy that I haven't taken Sunny to the Island for maybe a month. 

The last time I saw the Island, the trees weren't green! Now everything is in its full spring regalia and I love the yellow irises. 

A close up!

Naturally we can't go to the Island without seeing deer!

What is this a photo of? Well walking around the Island with us today was "Little Bo Peep!" If you think the back of her outfit is a riot, you had to see the front of her. 

While I was sitting in the living room today, I wasn't alone! Sunny and Indie are buddies! I literally gave myself forced breaks today, because I am very tired and the eye exam I had yesterday triggered  a migraine for me. So needless to say, it been a painful spring of one bad migraine or cluster headache after the other.
