One gets easily caught up in Twitter, Facebook, etc. and two people have asked me in the last few days what has happened to my blogging? Almost everyday I have had it on my list of "things to do today" and then it has been moved to the next day. That is what has happened to it, exactly.
It seems like there is a lot going on.
We had a visit from Uncle Nick. He was on his way to his summer "home" up on Cape Cod, passing through NY. It was good to have him here for five days and we managed to do quite a bit with him. Will see him again in October when he is on his way back to Florida.
Liz was in Utah for a week at the Best Friends Sanctuary volunteering to take care of the cats and dogs there. I admire her a lot for giving up her vacation time to do something like this. So many animals there and so very many with sad, sad stories. But now they are living in a wonderful place and it almost seems being adopted is a step back. Well, not really.
My yard is in good shape this summer. The hydrangeas
are particularly impressive right now. I was worried they were not going to make it, that I had perhaps pruned them too much but they are looking better than ever.
Let's see. Yankees vs. the Mariners tonight at the Stadium. Weather forecast calling for thunderstorms, hail, high winds. Hail? Hale? Why doesn't that seem right?
A good book. Started reading it and it was going slowly the first couple of chapters. Was going to quit--life's too short. But it definitely picked up after that and now I am enjoying it.
Have been spending hours and hours and hours writing a newsletter for the Shelter and a lot of people got a really bad email this time around so I am getting pretty beaten up for it. So little of it was my fault. Hey! What part of V-O-L-U-N-T-E-E-R don't you get?
