I wore my Ole Miss t-shirt today so Ole Miss could beat Georgia in Oxford. It was a good game – for me.
I started the day with a really nice sunrise.
Maybe it was the beautiful sunrise but I really felt great this morning. As a matter of fact, I haven’t felt this good in months if not two years. I’ve forgotten how it is to feel good.
I managed a 1.4 mile walk this morning. One of the trees I passed has a wonderful growth or orchids on the trunk.
I’ve never seen a cluster like this. If you look carefully in the upper left hand corner you can see the bloom on one that is growing from the notch in the tree.
As I started back home, I passed my favorite yard and I’m amazed how many different species of plants this couple grows.
It’s a member of the bean family and is quite the stunner.
As I rounded the last block to head home, I saw Martime backing out of her drive. I told her she couldn’t leave until she talked to me. Martime had cancer twice and had both chemo and radiation. She tells me to keep a positive attitude and I try. She’s a great neighbor with a beautiful yard on which she spends hours.
I finally made it back home and Trevor was beginning to mow. I heard a knock on the door and he asked if I had a wasp spray. Apparently, wasps love the underside of the fronds of my Washingtonia palm. I didn’t have wasp spray but I did have some ant and roach spray. He pointed out the nest and I sprayed it down. The last time there was a nest there, he got stung. I ordered two cans of wasp spray from Amazon and will give him one to replace the one he used previously.
Tomorrow, John and I are headed for some barbecue for lunch. He also has a BOGO for another mini-Bundt cake. You’d think I’d gain 20 lbs from those cakes.
Today was wash, dry, and fold day as well as change linen day. I didn’t clean house since I did it for movie night. Movie night is a good impetus for me to clean. I don’t want Tucker to be embarrassed to come in to my house.
I’ve had several people ask me who Tucker was. Apparently, quite a few thought he was Chris’ boyfriend. We’ve had a good laugh over that. No reflection on Chris but if Tucker had to choose between a dog’s life and a boyfriend’s life, he’d choose the dog’s life. He gets two meals a day, all the belly rubs he wants, two walks a day, and treats on Wednesday. Come to think of it, I kinda like that idea.
Stay tuned!
