It was important to me to share the last post because our life is not all medical issues, even if it seems like it sometimes. I am sitting on our very clean deck (Thanks Tony), enjoying the breeze, wind chime and the yard. I had asked the landscaper for something interesting to see year round, and she did a great job giving me exactly that. I really enjoy just being here.
We recently were comparing pictures of the house 5 years ago with what it is now. Wow, are the plants happy! This past winter and spring were very good, no extreme temperatures and plenty of rain. Probably should not say that because the rest of the country was not that fortunate. A friend who loves to garden took pictures of her garden to a reunion where most of the people were experiencing water rationing. Opps.
There is a wonderful reason we were looking at the pictures. Kari was here when Dave was in the hospital. As she was about to go to the hospital on Saturday she noticed 2 women in front looking at the house. When she asked if she could help them, it turned out one had grown up in our house and the other next door. After a brief tour she asked if we would like some pictures of the house when it was built in 1951. Additionally she had a picture of the blue spruce when it was planted. She was 4, and the tree was the same size as her. It has been fun to see the pictures and also look again at the changes in the yard since it was first planted five years ago.
