Another Season In Life

The last time I posted was over two years ago. Since then my husband suffered two more strokes. The last was the worst and affected his mobility and speech.

This is a whole different ballgame. We never thought when we were in our twenties we would ever find ourselves in this situation. Life is full of surprises. Whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger, but enough of that. It's time to resurrect my blog.

Because I'm my husband primary caretaker and I have little chance to interact with others, this is my way to have contact with other people. Thank the Lord for the internet. Now on to my post.

The outside temperatures have gotten cooler. The goldenrod and and wild asters are starting to bloom. And I find myself starting to "nest".

That is I feel like nesting. But...there are too many chores to do outside and wrap up those before it really gets cold outside.

I had such big plans for my garden this year that never materialized. Maybe next year. I do have time to place the blocks around my new raised garden bed and get it ready for next season. and then there is the necessary weeding to clean the veggie garden for next year, etc..

I'm in the middle of stripping a small side table. My plan is to paint it and tile the top. I have another table waiting in the wings to refinish along with two dining room chairs. There are always more projects waiting to be planned.

It took me over a week to complete writing this little bit. Next time I'll have more to share and I hope it won't take so long to blog.
