Sept. 2, 2016
Another week with nothing written when, in fact, I have a
bit of good news. But first, of course,
the weather. It seems to control so much
of what we do. Our lawn is about half or more brown. We have had showers but nothing
substantial. I have, however, been able
to clear out some wild roses. We used t
have some fairly controlled red flowered wild roses, but the more recent white
ones are taking over everywhere. I also
used to be able to pick lack-berries by the bowl full, but they have been
nearly taken over by the new white enemy.
I cleaned out some of them from a garden at the front side of the
house. I wore gauntlets to protect my
arms and did get rid of one bunch, now for the other 20 or 30,
We have had lots of company the past week. Jan’s daughter Susanne and her husband Jeff
have just bought a house here in Dartmouth . At the moment it is for the use of their
daughter Isabelle to live in to go to St. Mary’s University. (Where I went for a few years.) She hopes to get someone to help share the
costs. Susan and Jeff are here arranging
for some repairs and updates for the place.
Yesterday I went to see my heart doctor and he was very
pleased with my condition. He even said
that I didn’t have to back and see him unless I felt that I needed to. I chose to see him again in a year as he
might notice changes in me that I may not have realized. This made me feel so good that I went back to
the Findlay Centre and did a small repair on a stand for holding weights – and
to completely weed a small garden at the front of the building – and to forget
my 3 o’clock pills until almost 4:30.
Naughty, naughty, and it takes a while for the pills to work. My pill timer had been left at home and I
didn’t realize that I was getting a little less effective and a bit more
clumsy. I survived – again.
More gardening to be done, some more limbs to take off the
neighbour’s tree and some wild rose bushed to eradicate.
