Every day ..

Every day can be exciting, Ms J. And fun. As fun and as interesting as I want it to be. I think that's an important lesson.

The lawn was looking very shaggy. The back lawn. It’s big. Much bigger than the front lawn. It needed to be cut. And I couldn’t wait any longer for Bob to offer his help. So I did it myself. It took me all day, but I got it done. I trimmed the forsythia bush as well. Watered my tomatoes. Staked up the raspberry bush. Hoed the garden. Pulled some weeds along the fence. The heat and humidity were overwhelming. Every hour or so, I’d come inside and have a cool drink and elevate and ice my foot.

I hated to return to the garden each time, Ms J. But I did. And I got ‘er done. The yard looks better. For now, anyway.


These happy faces watched me work, occassionally nodding their heads approvingly.

I'm off now to Kirk and Rey’s for dinner and a swim. I love my garden, Ms J. I love my friends. And I love my Life!
