This morning, we had a minor miracle: Mary was up and moving before me! I was still tired from getting up at o-dark thirty yesterday for blood tests and X-rays!
When I arrived at the office, my coffee was still steaming on the desk; Mary took good care of me. We worked in the office until about 11:00 am, with Mary cleaning up old emails from years ago, and I worked on our next adventure. We are taking Jon and Sarah to Mexico in February 2025 for a seven-day cruise; it is time to get together and get to know each other!!
Only 84 days away!
We spent the afternoon in the garden, just puttering around, sprucing things up for Thanksgiving, and preparing for the upcoming rainstorm. Checking the forecast at 4:00 p.m. today indicated that the prediction was trailing off; we are not at 30%.
I worked in the berry patch, trimming the vines and reconfiguring the supporting wires, which needed tightening up.
Looks pretty bare!
Our mums are doing well; we have them to keep the pesky bugs away!
They are bright and cheery!
The last peppers hang out in the garden, waiting for their big moment to shine in one of Mary’s delightful dinners. They’re practically strutting their stuff in the afternoon sun, like auditioning for a cooking show! “Pick me, pick me!” they seem to shout, but let’s be honest—they’re probably just hoping to avoid ending up as a sad salad garnish!
What color you say? Fire-Engine Red!!
We continued just messing around until 4:00 pm as we had to get ready to go to the Linda Ronstadt show at the Elks complete with The Eagles. We are goin with the gang so it sould be fun!
