Ordered my furnace filter for pickup at the store.

I'm knocking off work at 3:30 today to give myself a little more time to run errands.

Susan just got up. She said she's feeling a little better this morning, so hopefully she'll have some pancakes later.

A short trip to the Women's Wing at the hospital, Taxi service for a neighborhood elder.

I look around sometimes and dragging behind me, kicking and screaming are 68 years of the good life set in well, yet, I am one of the "babies" in this bristling little berg.

 

[BeDome]

Ankle sprain is much better this morning.

Still need to favor it some, but I can hide the pain effectively enough to keep others from telling me to go to a doc.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Just noticed the wisteria is blooming. Susan and I dug up a start of this we found growing wild on a former homestead site down at Lake Monroe probably 17 years ago.

 

[BeDome]

I have always loved wisteria.

I tried to grow one at the old house, but I had trouble keeping the soil pH below 8, even with copious amounts of compost, pine needles and sulphur compounds.

It did OK and bloomed some, but I can't say it ever thrived there, like yours. All gone, now.
City took the property and built a round about, widened the road again.

I've never done anything to this one, but since it had "gone wild", it probably doesn't have the same requirements that a hybrid does. It's planted in exactly the same spot that Mom and Dad had one when I was growing up. That one had the bigger, longer blooms on it. I have childhood memories of that one being full of bumble bees the whole time it was blooming and I was scared to go near it.

And another reason round abouts are evil= wisteria killing round abouts

stopped by the bakery for cookies, molesasses and chocolate chip. Had to get the order picked up and got a coffee to boot fed horses and even the evil one
Too wet to mow now and going to bed. This day looks perfect. Be safe out there. Tim
