Good evening in Oz. I am going to start calling you Mrs. Dolittle with taking care of the animals.🐰🐈🐶 I saw my groundhog today, must have come out for a bite to eat. I still don’t know if it’s only one or a family but I’ve never seen more than one in the open.

Ran out last minute with friends for dinner. Didn’t sleep well last night😴 so glad I didn’t have to cook. May make my neighbor’s banana peppers tomorrow and dinner Sunday for mom and sis. A few errands to run in the morning and that’s about all for the weekend. When you talk to the animals, tell them I said hi!🥰💗

Hello and how are you doing?
Thank you for the hugs and prayers, much appreciated.
Hubby is getting better and stronger by the day. Tomorrow he is going to try to walk outside for a bit. He is walking with a cane. His brother will be with him just in case he needs a little help.
Take care Shoelady

Hi. Just came in to cool off from working on our lanai. It is really hot hot hot out there. Temps are over 90, though you get a breeze every now and then. Skies darken, but no rain. Hubby brought the glass top out there for our snacks. It’s too small for dinner. I do have a folding table that will go behind our settee. The chairs that we use for the snacks can also be used for dinner. Have a wheeled glass top cart that we will donate to the community for their yard sale in December. Always good to find someone else who will find this useful.

Tomorrow, hubby has an MRI appointment. I just wish that this neurologist will check on Parkinsons. But as long as their is nothing shaking, he does not have it. I am looking for another neurologist as I type. Funny, this whole week there has been no sign of dementia. Last week also. Oh wait, he didn’t know the day or date. Couldn’t remember. I handed him his Kindle since I’ve been hogging the computer.

See you in a few hours for Trivia. I’m going to make last night’s dinner for tonight.

Good Afternoon. I just finished sweeping one half on our lanai and next step is to put our small table together and the chairs. I took a measurement for a rug in that area and will order it shortly. When it comes time for a doctor’s visit, there are busses that will pick him up at home and bring him wherever he needs to go and when the appointment is over, return him home and will help him get inside if necessary. We have them where we live. I do not know the cost, if any. The visiting nurses will have that info if you ask. Also, the nurses can order a home health aide if necessary and the cost should be covered with your health insurance. Also, do not forget the Vitamin E. cream. It will help to diminish any scarring.

My hubby’s surgery was scheduled for next week and the doctor changed it to September 12th. That’s Ok by me in hopes the temp and humidity will go down. I’m not banking on it, just hopeful that it will.

Weather wise, the clouds are beautiful against the blue sky. Every once in a while the sky darkens likes it going to rain, but doesn’t. We certainly can use a few inches. However, I will be careful for what I wish for.

Have you ever thought of a cart for yourself? They are expensive, but the used ones run three figures or less. You can also have a trailer put at the back of your husband’s behicle so that you are not lifting it . The motor makes it quite heavy. Try it when you go marketing and see if it’s something you could use. If we decide to go on another cruise, we will be looking at an electric three wheeler that folds up. We have seen quite a few people taking these on the ship and use them for sightseeing and whatever. It looks like tons of fun.

So glad you are home. Just take care of yourself. Get some much needed rest and then some.

The Wisdom of the Wild

Allow yourself to be captivated and calmed by the energy of the wildlife that covers this earth.

For better or worse, much of the world we experience is dominated and controlled by human beings. We spend our days in houses, cars, and buildings, and inside these structures, we are in control. We assert our wills and manipulate our environment. Within the context of the human world, this is natural. However, we often carry this attitude with us into the world of nature. We forget as we enter the forest, or sit on the edge of a pond, that we are moving into another realm, one that asks us to drop our baggage and surrender to a different sense of order and meaning.

When we move from our everyday world into the world of nature, we may not even notice at first. We might continue talking loudly into our cell phone or to a friend that is with us. We might walk quickly as if we are on a busy city street, our eyes downcast, our thoughts hectic and hurried. In the best case, if we are sensitive to our environment, we will soon notice that it has changed. We may hear ducks calling, or wind moving through the leaves on a tree. If we notice the shift, we will naturally shift as well. If we don’t, we may get all the way through a beautiful park without having lowered our voices. Next time you find yourself in the presence of wildlife — even if it’s just a duck pond in the midst of urban hustle — try to move into a receptive state of openness and listening, no matter how much or how little time you have. Allow yourself to be captivated and calmed by the energy of the wildlife that covers this earth. Teaching our children to be respectful of nature and to stop and observe is a gift they can always cherish

We preserve pockets of nature in our urban centers and large expanses of nature in our national parks because of the magic we feel in its presence. It reminds us of our smallness and calls us back to a deeper, quieter part of ourselves. When we honor nature by being respectful in its presence, we honor the mystery and wild beauty of our origin. Amen! ✨✨
