Iron Horse Bicycle

It has sat in the storage room for better than two years. Brother-in-law sprang for it. I lucked out and got front & rear disk brakes and shifters to rival a Maserati. 10 or more years ago it was considered a decent bike.

I made it halfway up the block to Britt where i paused to get my breath. It was all I could do to hobble to the front door after putting it back to bed.

Somewhere along the way I lost 10 pounds; not that anyone else can tell. This is what 255 looks like. Grrrroossss!!! But hey!! I can still make it to the bathroom.

We've always had black thumbs, but the last two years have gone well. We put a pot by the porch post, put in some seeds and voila!

Romeo & Juliet This

I've now known Danielle Slupesky almost two years. In that time we've met several times to discuss death and dying. She also sat with me during my psilocybin journey to help alleviate my death anxiety. Here she describes accompanying a couple to Switzerland to die. I highly recommend her services.

A Look Back

I enjoy having the blog; it provides perspective.

The comments about appreciating what one has are as relevant as ever.

I'm not adding a photo to this post as the one on the one below is more than enough. (I've since become unable to get up from the chair & have it on Craigslist.)

Gardening Sunsets

We've begun returning Andre's driveway to it's original, pulling up the corn plants that've been harvested and taking out the melon plant that gave up all of three mediocre melons. 

About 6.5 inches

There're about a half-dozen ears yet to be harvested.

The clouds!!! What'll we do when we no longer go across the street to water?
