Relax/Recoup...37º

 It was an enjoyable visit with friend Sue, sitting on our deck, catching up, and talking about our annual "Hot Springs," trip in October...The condo has been booked for months, and we wait to see how Covid will affect us...As of now, our trip will happen, we might find a hot spring that is open or maybe not...No matter, we will have a "girls" get away and find new adventures to pursue.

The rest of my day yesterday was spent "puttering and muttering," as I looked at what needs to be done and what I want to do...Looking ahead at the forecast, we are in for warmer/hotter temps, both day and night, for the next 10 days...It will be interesting to see what the garden does...I think watering will be nonstop and our top priority, as well as keeping the house cool and comfortable.

We had some disconcerting news yesterday...My sister Barbara (Bobbie) 92, called to say that she is now living in an assisted living facility, moving from her long time home, seven days ago...No longer safe for her to live alone, this seems the best option...She seemed to be taking it in stride, but is very frustrated by the restrictions because of Covid...She is in quarantine, for another 7 days, but that and other rules change hourly...She feels sorry for the employees, as the guidelines are iffy, always thinking of others, rather than feeling sorry for herself...I will close on that note, and add a few more photos from our "Hat Point," trip...Hugs To All...OWAV:)

Amazing how the wildflowers grow
out of a rock pile.

An Interesting Root Wad.

Indian Paint Brush is still

  1. I want to be like Barbara when I grow up. I want to think of others and not feel bad for myself! Prayers that she can settle in and restrictions will lift and she can enjoy all the amenities in assisted living!

    1. Me too, Eve..She has always been like that, and has some wonderful friends to show for it...They have been a blessing the last few years, since her family lives far away...She leaves a beautiful spot with the gardens she has nurtured for many years...But she has wonderful memories, that will keep her going...Sending hug, ~Idella
