This past week every day had a new twist to dealing with life. My mom had a number of moments. She still loves her earrings.
My dad started thinking about exit strategies for the house they have lived in for almost 30 years- without ever finishing it.
Today I looked more under the hood of a car than I have ever done before. The position felt more like a Fosberry Flop than anyother I have ever been in.
I got to see Terry and Erik last night. We walked so much I wore two very symetric blisters in my big toes. My pretty shoes aren't for walking. The Bolt bus is neat. I would not mind figuring out how to use it sometime.
Today I worked on my continuing aster mystery- what are the new names for the 3 asters that are in bloom right now. also- how to winterize my tropicals and bog plants. have to bring in the dionaea( flytraps) but the sarracenia are going to get to go under a bale of hay and in the "greenhouse" I wonder if I will be able to figure out how to redesign my back retaining walls to repair the degrading railroad ties, or if I will have to ignore it for a few more years. I need to paint the back porch, replace rails in the fence, and get new outdoor furniture including a hammock stand.
I want to go hiking for my birthday. I am thinking AT or Long Path.
I miss Beijing. My studies there were remarkably satisfying even if I still fumble when I try to speak.
