Plants. And Chickens. And Binoculars.
Yesterday EJ had to have his blood drawn in preparation for a doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning. We had an enjoyable 30 mile (or so) drive to the lab. Afterwards we stopped at the nearby farm-market type store because EJ had had to fast for… Continue Reading “Plants. And Chickens. And Binoculars.”
Squirrels, Mosquitoes, and Stuff
Oh, my goodness, it’s been a week since I have written. I didn’t realize it had been that long. We have all been tired and unmotivated this week. JJ said it’s been really hitting him that he had CANCER and that he could have… Continue Reading “Squirrels, Mosquitoes, and Stuff”
Our Little Micro-Farm
EJ and I had a tremendous day together. After waking up with a cups of coffee and the Internet, we decided to go out for breakfast. JJ didn’t go with us because his days and nights are all mixed up. He stays awake most… Continue Reading “Our Little Micro-Farm”
Houses & Gardens
Yesterday EJ and I worked in the garden for a bit. EJ planted his tomato and pepper plants in his veggie garden and then he planted his blueberry bushes in the area of the yard where the birdhouses are. While EJ planted, I planted… Continue Reading “Houses & Gardens”
The Trip to the Nursery
This morning, after a pot of coffee and a trip to the bank, EJ and I drove to a plant nursery near his company. On the way we passed a garage sale and we decided to turn around and stop at it. I saw… Continue Reading “The Trip to the Nursery”
Sparrow Videos
Today the weather has been absolutely beautiful: sunny, warm, with a slight breeze. EJ and I enjoyed a leisurely morning. (JJ is a night owl who stays up late and sleeps late.) After we drank several cups of coffee and ate breakfast, I went… Continue Reading “Sparrow Videos”
Birds & Balloons
Yesterday I did not get out in the garden. Instead, I stayed inside and paid bills and reconciled the bank statement. Bleagh. I dislike both jobs, but they need to be done. The forecast predicted bad storms overnight with high winds so I brought… Continue Reading “Birds & Balloons”
I Love My Garden
I woke up feeling crippled by yesterday’s gardening. In spite of my aching body, I spent all day working in the garden today. It was just too beautiful to be inside. It was sunny and the temperature was cool enough (around 70 degrees) that… Continue Reading “I Love My Garden”
Hot & Cold
It has rained all week. At the beginning of the week it was very warm and humid, and there were several thunderstorms. One crack of thunder was so loud that poor Little Bear leaped up from the window sill where he was sleeping and… Continue Reading “Hot & Cold”
House and Gardens
This morning EJ and I went grocery shopping together. I’m glad he came with me even though he had to go to work this afternoon because shopping is always more fun with him. We have shopped together ever since we got married. I mostly… Continue Reading “House and Gardens”
Visitors
We were successful at getting JJ’s CT Scan at our second try yesterday. I thought wouldn’t it be terrible if we got there and found out that he was supposed to have fasted? I didn’t think he had to, but the last six months… Continue Reading “Visitors”
Oops
This morning I woke up just before 7 a.m. That is the time I prefer to wake up, and which I used to wake up, but my sleep patterns have gotten all messed up so I’ve been not able to sleep until the wee… Continue Reading “Oops”
Fowl Delight
I’d like to say that we are bouncing back from JJ’s battle with cancer, but it’s going a lot slower than I expected or wanted. I can’t say this is the most difficult time we have experienced so far because it’s all been difficult–the… Continue Reading “Fowl Delight”
Outside Work
I had thought that after JJ’s surgery in Indianapolis, our lives would quickly calm down with only an occasional blood draw, CT Scan, and doctor’s visit. However, last week we had only one day in which we didn’t have to take JJ to an… Continue Reading “Outside Work”
And Miles To Go…
It’s been several days since I have written anything in this blog. Saturday was Shabbat so we rested. Sunday EJ moved several climbing rose bushes away from the bird feeders and next to the fences where they can climb better. EJ is never “aware”… Continue Reading “And Miles To Go…”
