[Leica] IMG: Hyacinth Volunteers

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Ted,

I'm not using a walker as yet, but I have a couple of hand-me-downs in 
case I have to have such help.  But, just walking over soft, rough soil 
can be difficult.  When I took the photo you refer to, I was standing in 
a ditch along a heavily-traveled road, with my butt in the air toward 
traffic, while I leaned down to get the close-up.  Fortunately, no one 
honked at me.

I keep following along behind you, turning 88 the first week of April.  
I seem to recall that you have a birthday in late May. Here's hoping for 
many more for both of us.
