This morning is beautiful! The moon is peeking through the leaves, the leaves were falling with the breeze sounding like rain, it’s a comfortable 57 degrees. Who could ask for more? When Winter hits, I’ll be bundled up and still sitting on the back porch unless we get ice or snow of course. When that happens, I’ll have to figure out a different place to drink my morning tea and coffee. I have time, our Winter won’t be here for a few more months. Unless of course you pay attention to the persimmons which say we are to have a bad Winter. I haven’t looked at the Almanac because I haven’t bought one. I use the one started here in NC and not the better known one I understand the better known one is saying our Winter won’t be so bad. I’ve already decided that I will not clear the driveway so BH can just hunker down with me if we get that much.
Today is going to be a busy day for me. I need to take soil samples and get them to the Ag Extension Office before November since they’re free right now. Yes, I’ve had the kits for months, but we had fire ants and I was not digging into fire ants! I need to draw out the yard in sectors, on paper of course, and then label all the sectors on the kit. I don’t have one of those fancy tools to take samples so shovel it will be. Then I have to take samples where the shovel hasn’t touched the soil, put it in a clean bucket, mix it up and package it up. Fortunately I’m getting help!
If you’ve been reading the welcomes each week, then you know how important it is we ask for help. It’s also important that we offer help when we can. Helping is after all, the basis of our support group. Let’s see if we can give and receive help to our newest members…
@Mabh212 is up in Delaware. Maryanne had a stroke back this past June and fortunately she was diagnosed and treated early (I wonder if the gave her TPA). She shares she has no lingering effects from the stroke but the scan showed several small aneurysms on her communication artery. She has to wait to review the results with a specialist, so no treatment yet.
@Razorecko is in Illinois. AJ has been having horrible migraines and is missing both the ACA and PCA arteries. Unsure if AJ has an aneurysm or not, hopefully we will learn more. AJ is a fan of all things mechanical and biological which for some reason makes me think of robotics…
