I'm Back...Again

 Hi friends,

Wow it is already spring again. We did have a winter this year, complete with six inches of snow. Whoo! Now it is time to start getting the garden ready again. I have some store-bought parsley plants. Why, you may ask. Don't you have seed? Yes, I do, but it takes so long for them to germinate and I don't have a good indoor place to get them started. Plus, I've not had much luck getting them to survive, much less grow when starting from seed. I did seed start some lemon squash (light bulb shaped yellow squash), round zucchini and some cukes. Ready, Set, GO!

So, where have I been since last fall? I've been right here, just not writing. For a while it seemed like I had a lot to say and current events to write on, but then things picked up speed and changed at such a pace that I could not keep up and stay up to date. I figured if I couldn't do it justice, I wouldn't write.

There were also some real life issues going on. Hubby had surgery in November and there was a bit care-taking involved. He recovered quickly and he's fine now, so I guess I did okay. I also discovered that I have cataracts. Oh joy! I had noticed a deterioration in my distance vision over the course of a year, which was significant. Coupled with needing an in-person driver's license renewal, it was a stressful time for me. In January, I got an eye exam, diagnosis, some glasses and I passed the eye test. One less thing to worry about. Now the decision I face is when to have the cataract surgery and what type of lenses to choose.

As you can see, I have had a bit more on my mind that writing about what is on my mind regarding the state of the world. Hopefully, I can put together a round up of what I think are key elements of the past year. As much to document for myself as to share with the entire world...ha!

In the meantime, may I once again recommend Jeff Childer's Coffee and Covid substack to keep you informed and entertained.

Until next time, stay safe and stay sane.
