At 3:30 AM I could see these bright lights outside and I knew exactly what it was. It was a cop car going through the cul de sac with its bright lights on looking for somebody. That always makes me a little nervous at that time of night

Good Morning! Sunny and 43 going up to 76.
Yesterday I didn’t have the motivation to get much done. But I did change the sheets on our bed 😀 This morning I have already folded my laundry that was still in the dryer (after I ran the dryer on ‘tumble press’) 😊 After breakfast I need to do some grocery shopping since I didn’t go yesterday.

I just love the collection of signs on the side of the garden shed at MapleWood Garden 😍 Here’s more of them.

Good morning I had my lab work yesterday at 7:00am We had rain at 4am yesterday morning and I saw a beautiful rainbow as i drove to Labcorp. Just stayed home and cleaned and watched TV…Rick grilled a steak, meat just isnt as tender as it used to be for some reason. I am getting my haircut at 9:15 and then at 12:30 I have to be home for a telephone call with my Drs assistant. I have had Julies assistant call me almost monthly to check in. Strange she never calls Rick. The only reason I know about this… Read more »

I hope you get a good haircut today. I need one very soon.
Seems like your doctors office is doing things very differently from what you were used to. The busier they get the more distant the communication seems. I hope you have good results from your test.♥

Jenn, I never get an even haircut as you know, the left side will be so short it will be hard to curl.
We just got a four page thing from Medicare to fill out….once a year i think.
I have had Julies asst calling me for a few years now, recently she started texting which is great and now this phone call ….just weird that Rick has never been checked up on…..its just basic stuff….prescriptions, etc.

Jenn
October 20, 2026 6:59 am

It is impossible to get a good even haircut anymore it seems.
We do not get Medicare paperwork, we have military insurance, Tricare for life.
It is weird they never ‘check up’ on Rick?

That’s crazy about your doctor’s office not notifying you of a scheduled phone call from their office.

Good morning, 6:30 and it is the blue hour now, I love that blue hue before it transitions into daylight. 39 degrees so warmer than the past 2 mornings, by a bit. Yesterday did not get as warm but it was good for talking walks. I looked out the living room window and Denny was going by the road out front on my bright pink bicycle. Made me laugh he, he was checking on the tires and ended up going for a ride. He likes my bike and I generously said he could ride it whenever he wanted. He definitely… Read more »

Just saw this picture on FB by a Maine Photographer. I think it is the best photo of deer I have ever seen. Would love to have it framed.

I believe the field has morning air fog since the field is not covered. We get that a lot here in Maine.

Hi Jenn.
It has not stopped rain all up to now,
Just back from the Surgery and back on another Powder inhaler I had once before.
They did not want me on the Mist inhaler because it can affect the kidneys and mine do not work as well as a young person.
News to me hut picked up from my blood tests evidently.
This inhaler is a two puffs day instead of the single on the other one.
The single puff was supposed to last 24Hrs but never did with me.
So we will see how the new one performs.😀😘

I’m so glad you’re getting some much needed rain. We are very dry around here and badly need some good soaking rain.

, here’s another vote for you to keep the scarf/hat/glove set; it’s very pretty; looks like you 😊 Glad Denny’s feeling a bit better; and unless he’s actually learned something, you’re going to have to be the gateway to “The Right to Use Denny” 😄
, oh goody, a visit from Lauren; hope she has a good time at the reunion 😘
, stunning photo by the bandshell 💖
@Ice so glad you’re at jumper-weather after suffering thru that hot summer 😎
, stay warm 💟
