A dear friend of many years told me last week that she checks my blog all the time to see if I have posted recently. Well. I haven't, so I guess I had better!
August was hot and we spent quite a bit of time getting ready for a gathering for Matt and Danielle who were home for a long weekend visit - it was good to see them and several of their friends came over on Sunday afternoon. Pictures on facebook.
September we started cleaning out the garden and planting. I took a two day trip to Sacramento for work, not very exciting.
October was a trip to Oregon to see Aunt Florence, Uncle Wilbur and Aunt Loyal - our "elders". Our father's "younger" siblings - Wilbur is 95, Florence is 93 and Loyal is 90. They are all super sharp if a little (or a lot) creaky in the hinges. Florence just learned to use the computer this year and loves Keith Olberman on MSNBC. She is an Obama fanatic. She's more liberal than I am...She loves to email Joan and I as she is a little deaf and doesn't do too well on the phone.
After we got back I planted some lettuce, chard and spinach from six-pack, got a late start. After that I put in some seed and it is now up. The yard is a several November weekend clean up project, doing pretty well now. I hope to put in my ranunculus and stock this weekend. It was too hot last weekend (the big fire weekend in SoCal).
Not much else along those lines. Just needed to catch up a little. Lots has happened but I don't feel like talking about it much. I'll go on from here I guess.
Next post I'll talk about my "personal trainer" experience....hah! What a hoot.
