Looking at the calendar, I know it is June. Looking at the sky, it looks like March. It is cloudy again and of course the wind is beginning to blow. The pool water is too cold to swim in so I bought some solar rings, hoping to speed up the heating process. But until the sun decides to shine for more than two hours a day, the rings won't do the job. I wouldn't care, except school is out today and I always look forward to having the little ones (and their moms) come for pool days.
On the positive side, the mild weather has been great for my mini-garden. The tomato plants are very prolific, and we will have our first taste of home-grown beans tonight. I am beginning to see some possibilities from the pepper plants. In case you are impressed that I have a garden, don't be. I'm not one to get out there and hoe, cultivate, weed, etc. I use pots and miracle -grow soil. I enjoy the fruits of labor, not the labor!
It's been over four weeks since I took the tumble down the stairs. My ankle is still weak and very sore, but I'm able to walk on it so I know it's healing. I'm being careful, especially around stairs and steps.
Also, I have three new pets. My cat, Rascal I, disappeared while we were in the mid-west in April. Since the grand kids, especially Jenny, loved him, I replaced him with a look-alike kitten which I then aptly named Rascal II. In order to maximize the odds of keeping a cat, I also got two other kittens- Socks, and Colby. Hopefully, one of these kittens will survive and make it to adulthood.
