Squirrel Count has Increased

 I think this squirrel may be asking, "Where'd everyone go?!"  I forgot to give a count last night, but yesterday Elijah and his dad hauled off number 35...today's count is at 38 (I think! Elijah keeps track better than the rest of us!  Two were caught this morning.  While they awaited their relocation, two of their friends visited them.  There seems to be an endless number of these rascals!  There's one thing for sure...their numbers are helping a ten-year-old (soon to be 11) boy have a profitable summer!

Woody slept better last night so has had a better day.  But he still has stayed pretty close to his recliner...reading, working crossword puzzles, and watching some TV.  I slept well, till I woke up at 4am...so my day has been long and I haven't felt the greatest.  But I did manage to use the peaches that I bought at the store last week and also some of the blueberries from Nathan and Kathy and family's blueberry bushes and put together a peach/blueberry cobbler...quite tasty!  The only problem with the dessert is that Woody wished, again, for ice cream which he can't have.  He was told the other day that when he is on dialysis he will be able to have that ice cream once again.  Still doesn't make us jump up and down and get all excited about starting dialysis...just something that will be a positive when he does start!  He will be able to go back to almost normal rating.  He was told that he may have to eat extra things that have potassium in them because potassium tends to be leached from the body during this type of dialysis.  He will be glad to eat bananas, dark green veggies, watermelon, and other things that he can't have at the moment due to their high potassium.

This afternoon, Abigail came over to check out the Montessori equipment that I have. She plans to use it at her house, as she has been asked to give lessons to several preschoolers from our church.  We went over equipment talked some about how she will fill up the time that she has with them a couple of days a week.  A new venture for our Abigail! She left to go make some cheesecakes...another of her ventures!  She cleans houses, too!  She's the best kitchen cleaner around!

Nathan and Joseph were on the front porch bird watching, when Abigail and I went out the front door after her Montessori "session" with me.  They were trying out the binoculars that they gave Goosey (Woody) for Father's Day.  Our front porch is really enjoyed by both out families...it's like an extension of our house...another room...a sitting room!

Be safe!
Be well!
Be cautious!
