June

 


 


I am glad to be back in Vermont appreciating just how beautiful it is at this time of year. Iris are my favorites, and lavendar about to bloom comes in a close second. There's a lot to do, but I took the time to just relax after the long drive back.

Levi has adjusted quite well. I sure the condo is filled with our scents so he felt at home and quickly established a routine. A short walk in the morning with a stop for a game of chase the tennis ball and a long walk in the evening. Breakfast at eight and dinner at four. I swear he can tell time. 

Well, projects will have to start soon but I am off to see my daughter and grandson tomorrow. Granddaughter Kristen has gone to Tennessee.

I love June.

    My iris in Ohio have just finished blooming. My favorites are the deep purple. They did wonderfully this year.

    Vermont is beautiful. Two friends bought houses there. You should post more pics before you sell your condo.

    I agree that June is wonderful. But we are drying out and need rain. Fire danger is now high everywhere, even in Seattle.

 On September 29, I had the closing on my condo. Everything that was not going to the buyers was out and packed in the ABF moving truck which had by the been taken over to the storage units. Don thought it would take him until Wednesday to finish packing the truck with the help of his son. It took him until late Thursday with Chris' help and mine. Kevin was supposed to help load as well but he was in a mountain bike accident and wrecked his shoulder the week before. That added driving him to doctor appointments to my to do list and dong some shopping for him plus jobs around the house that might need two functioning upper limbs.  We stayed with Kevin on Friday night after the closing and then had a suite in an extended stay place for the coming week. This was the worst possible time to have to get a room because the prices balloon during leaf peeping season if you can even find a room at all. But it was close to the storage units where we were working and it was dog friendly. We ju

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own
