So much has happened since I last blogged. I bet I've thought of 20 things to blog about, but of course, I was too busy to write any of it down - and now, being of an old age - I can't remember a dang one of them.
Well.
Yankee Cousin has gone back home. We had a great time and I wish she could have stayed longer.
Maybe next year she can stay a whole two weeks.
I've taken Mother to many doc appointments, with more to come next week. I just hope we don't get lost again. That's a killer, and the story of my life.
YC helped me get the downstairs porch all purdy, which I've pined over for two years. Now it looks all nice. Thanks, YC!
Along with YC, she brought her brother and husband. I hadn't seen that cousin in 30 years. That's too long for family to stay apart. He says he's coming back next year. I hope he does.
Day Lilies are blooming, the garden is doing great. Rain is good for everything outside, but I feel sorta moldy.
I spoke at a place called Cameron Hall the other day. That was fun, and I sold a couple of books. Next week I'm speaking at the Senior Center for story telling time. Can't wait!
I guess that's all for now.
I hope to get back to my regularly scheduled blogging. If I could just stay home for a day...
I might just do it.

Garden Variety
A friend said to me yesterday that there was a certain thrill about pulling up something to eat from the ground, for free, and being able to eat it.
She's right.
Today, we had fresh green beans and tomatoes from the garden.
The satisfaction of seeing them, picking them, cleaning them up and preparing them is a very peaceful emotion that goes all the way to the bone.
It's a sad thing and most of society has gotten away from the earth, where everything comes from the store and trees and grass are in the park.
It seems that in the last few years there has been a resurgence of gardening, though. Most of my friends are suddenly planting big gardens, where twenty years ago they wouldn't have dreamed of such a thing.
And it isn't about aging and retiring. It seems there is something in the air - almost a feeling of warning.
Sort of like you better figure out how to feed you and yours.
It isn't mass hysteria, it isn't fear. It seems to be calm and directional, but I can't say more than that.
Anyway, I have dusted off my overalls and hoe and have gone to work.
Just ask Husband.
