It’s been a full week… and part of that, for sure, has been ongoing dental visits… and healing from them. This time though, I think we are done for 3 months… and then it will be (hopefully) just a good cleaning. I could go on about the soft diet… the PTSD nightmares… the wonky sleep… but instead, I’ll show you photos I took of all the different hydrangeas that are blooming all over the courtyard here… and how stunning the colors are.

It’s hot and humid… but it’s good for the plants on the balcony.

I have been logged onto Facebook, and neck deep in all the horrors playing out daily in the news… and I’ve decided to step back for a few days. I think I have to. My anxiety and my heart can’t take much more, at least not right now. Plus…. I desperately need to get something done… even if it’s just reading a book, or making a pair of earrings.

May you all be safe. .. .see you next week.
