What a pleasant surprise, showers and cooler temperatures in August, a good beginning for the month. This weather is good also for the hydrangeas, as they need plenty of moisture in August when they are setting buds for next years blooms. They need watering at least once a week, and if it is really dry and hot, maybe twice a week.
Since Elsie Hanger moved back east to be near her family, we have stayed in contact with cards, notes, but more often by phone, so when I hadn't heard from her for sometime and she didn't answer her phone, I sent her a letter, and her niece answered with an update on Elsie. I knew she had been falling a lot, but her niece said she was recently diagnosed with congestive heart failure with a stay in the hospital, then in skilled nursing, a few weeks in assisted living and now in long-term care.
Her mail can be sent in care of Pamela Fawver, 1106 Oak Row Rd., Warsaw, VA 22572 and Pamela will read it to her.
I had planned to enjoy the cool breeze and mow this evening, but grandson Brian and his sons Mikey and Payton beat me to it. My children are spoiling me!
A little humor. The Texas Highway Patrol turned on the red flashers and pulled the pickup over to the side of the road. The officer asked the driver, "You got any ID?" The driver said, "About what?"
