Today marks the anniversary of Woody's death. In some ways it seems much longer than a year and in others much shorter. I feel that I really have two days that get me looking back to that day, as I have the date he died (16th) and I have the day (Father's Day) that he died--one and the same last year! But yesterday really had memories flooding in. Today Melany came and did more gardening for me...so we spent part of the morning and afternoon together...so that kept me busy and kept me from "looking back" too much. She got a lot more done on that side garden...but it is going to take her one more visit to complete that garden. I didn't garden, but did garden related activities. Melany and family had given me a new bird bath and a rooster solar light and some other solar lights. And, I got those ready to put in the gardens. Marie also asked me to teach Sunday School this coming Sunday, so after getting the garden items ready, I sat on the front porch and started making a rough outline for the lesson...at least it is a start! This evening I went to Monday Night Furnace Room Prayer meeting. So my day has been pretty full of activity. Melany brought a couple of new plants to put in the garden near the road. I needed to water them this evening and was going to water after coming home from prayer meeting, but I decided to water before going. Well, I should have waited, as a pretty heavy rain shower/thunderstorm rolled through while I was at prayer meeting. We have really been getting the rain lately! It was a pretty good day for Melany's gardening...it was overcast for most of the time she was working and there was a pleasant breeze and the humidity wasn't too bad. So she didn't get too hot during her gardening chores. We had a good lunch. She brought some pork chops that they grilled out yesterday and some homemade peach barbecue sauce (pretty good!) and I provided the marinated salad. Then she also brought some cheesecake from their Father's Day meal along with blueberry sauce. All was yummy! And. not much work on anyone's part today. Melany is home safely. I am home safely. She and Wade were out in their yard looking at their gardens...and their chickens (which, by the way, have started gifting them with eggs...the last couple of days each of three hens have provided them with an egg). I am now torn as to whether I am going to read or stitch. I am well underway with my next Christmas ornament, but I also had an e-book delivered that I had been waiting for...a James Patterson book...so that is hard for me to resist. We'll see as the evening progresses...maybe I have time for a little of both! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
