Friday

Tonight's photo makes me think of my father. He loved to take pictures of dead trees. Melany came, again, this morning...another weeding day. She pretty much has a handle on the gardens that we are going to do this year. I have one large flower garden between my house and the house where Nathan and Kathy used to live. We have always called it the "shared garden," as ever since we moved here we have shared it with the neighbors that lilve in that house. The garden straddles the property line. It is mainly in our yard. This year, we have decided to let it sort of go wild. We did that another year and it was fine. We'll tackle that one another year. Melany and I had a nice visit. Just as she was finished with what she was going to do today, and was coming up to the porch to sit, Ruth stopped by and the three of us visited for a little while. We didn't get anything more than a sprinkle, but there was rain somewhere in the vicinity, as it definitely cooled off and there was a pleasant breeze for porch sitting! Before Melany went home, we did some more blueberry picking...still lots out there and more to ripen! Melany got home safely. I am running a bit late tonight as I called Cheryl to ask her something and, of course, we talkled longer than we probably needed to! We probably got around to hanging up a couple of times, but one of us would think of something else to discuss of "utmost importance!" Our calls are often, as if we rarely talked...which, of course, if far from the truth, as we talk quite frequently! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! Joy is still not doing well. Sleeping most of the day away...hoping that this is healing sleep! We are counting the hours till she can be seen by a specialist!
