Well, hope I am correct here.

The weather is more to my liking today and I managed to plant a couple small plants that have been hanging in for weeks - in a pan of shallow water. Sort of brown eyed Susans from an environmental group which offered them at a nearby municipal park- very nice park with one small building - they may have workshops, and trails - only mildly developed so people can actually walk through the woods.

I could plant the other two but not wanting to do more than the back will endure. I am amazingly able to walk without hobbling today - the weather Is fantastic! Is this the only proof I need that the weather is my biggest problem. I did not walk to the river today as on Thursday am, the good bread is delivered to the produce store and, remembering that, I headed out, before BF and got a loaf of the sort R likes and a small round pumpernickel - that I like. And a few other groceries. Everyone seemed cheered by the cooler weather!

Then I came home and made myself a big BF - shocking!: a small amount of bacon, 2 small eggs scrambled with sharp cheese, and the 3 smallest pieces of pumpernickel- warmed in the hot frying pan. Terrific!

Then the planting, then reading an interesting novel - Heartwood by Amity Gaige. I am having trouble finding books at this library. I shall have to pay it a call later today or tomorrow. and search harder. I think it is closed on weekends? I could go to the one an hour away on Friday if I feel up to it, and pick up more food at the Bakery.

OK! So I had lots of veggies and a chunk of veggie Lasagna for "lupper". - after a nap. Maybe I could still walk down to the river as it is starting to cool!

Looks like Charmion has a new home! Considering the amount of clutter she has disposed of, it could be a much easier move.

Is there any reason not to let an oak seedling grow up in the front yard - 25 feet from the house? There are at least two out there I had not noticed until recently (due to my illness?) - about 18 inches tall with new growth! It would be nice if they could be moved to the back yard which could use more trees. We do not really have enough to be a buffer between us and the already in progress development. North side of house: evergreens would be best!
