Many Changes

Hello. Did you think I'd dropped off the edge of the earth? No drop-off but lots of changes. GMom now lives in a lovely assisted living facility. She is much happier and has some control over her life again. She can come and go from her apartment to dinner or to an in-house movie or bingo or exercise or whatever. She is about 5 minutes from our NEW house location.

Yes, we moved. No more water view from our livingroom window but it is only 10 minutes away and it is a wilder view than we had before.



Knowing our lease was running out we snagged a much smaller house in another town nearby.



We dropped about 1/2 in square feet which meant we had W-A-A-A-Y too much stuff to fit. So, local charities got a call to come and pick up.

In May I had bought some veggie plants and put them in pots on our deck, so when we moved late June I was able to plant them in a little raised bed.



After a couple days you could see they really liked being in real soil instead of in pots.

I had never tried buying corn "plants" and transplanting into pots and then transplanting again into the garden. I tried it as a joke. Now after mid July, the still very short corn plants are putting out tassles!!



In case you missed them next to Goose's knee...



What a hoot!

We've had a very strange spring and summer. First, very cool and wet, now still very cool but dry and sunny. It still gets into the 50's at night and only hit 78 degrees F. once so far. Feels great to me, but plants don't like it so cool.

Toto2 who is 90% blind and deaf now has learned his way around his new house quite well. We leave the back slider open so he can come and go into HIS large fenced yard and he loves it.

We all like being here in the new location.
