I sound like a heavy smoker when I cough. I am recovering from sort of strain of pneumonia. Started out a couple of weeks ago as a cough and then my chest tightened. My daughter Theresa called on the phone and suggested after hearing my voice that perhaps a visit to the doctor would be a good idea. I am always reluctant to go to the doctor and she knows that. But a week's worth of antibiotics and an inhalor and I am on the mend.
It is very hot here now. I bought a small AC window unit which is helping to keep my house bareable. Everything must be watered with the heat and warm winds. But my garden just keeps growing and growing. I have peas nearly ready, spectacular lettuce, green onions and numerous herbs. There are green tomatoes, pepper blossoms, potato blossoms, cabbages heading up and some nice looking brocolli heads. The summer squash is nearly ready to eat too.
We had a wonderful 4th of July celebration. Pete and I went to Argyle to a parade in the morning and picnic at a relative's home. It was nostalgic for me since my family always used to have a large family picnic on the 4th. I went next door to the annual library used book sale. I picked up numerous books at a quarter a piece. I took lots of photos of the flowers too. I will post some. In the late afternoon, we went to a theme wedding here in town. They were married outside in the yard in Hawaiian garb and Luau theme. The reception was held at the firehouse. There was a DJ and huge buffet. Fireworks completed the day.
I had a young male neighbor stop by to bring me a large bowl full of fresh blackberries. He knew I was a baker and wanted to share the berries. I have frozen them but will make a couple of pies as soon as the weather cools. I promised him a batch of donuts too. I have had no luck finding a job as a personal chef but I have applied for a teller's position. Coming from branch management 22 years ago to being a teller again is a bit of a come down but there shouldn't be much stress. Please keep me in your prayers and thoughts as I attempt to rejoin the workforce. It is an entirely different place than it was when I left.
Enjoy the shots.
