Some Progress

A previous post I made mentioned some of the issues with our tree removals.

The sprinkler system was repaired and is working now. The landscaping work finally happened this past week! Those guys did a good job. A lot of topsoil is filling in holes and trenches. We had a new bag of grass seed that they put down for us. This is not the best time of the year around here to grow grass. But, everyone said "why, not, it was worth a try". It will be seeded at aeration time in the Fall, too. They also took care of several other yard chores and put down new shredded cedar mulch.

The yard looks much better now; I am not so upset. This Summer has been a hard one for anything green. We have had very high temperatures and high humidity, and not much rain. The sprinkler system being out of service for a while did not help either.

When we have some cooler temperatures, I will get out there and put the bird feeder back in place and set out a couple pieces of "yard art". Maybe set a clay pot of flowers where one of the trees used to be.

Honestly, I have been more focused and worried about helping Les. He was hospitalized again for several days and we have more doctor appointments coming up. It was a bit longer this time due to the recurring UTIs plus a heart issue. But he is home now and if anyone asks him he says he is doing alright. He's being careful and has medicines for both issues. It just takes a while for him to regain any strength.

While all of these things have been happening, I managed to lose one of my hearing aids and had to see about getting a replacement. Got it a couple days ago and it is working fine. I have had some vision changes and moved my eye appointment from October to this week. I will be going back to wearing glasses again and should have them in about a month. I have had a few years after cataract surgeries where I only needed reading glasses, but that time is evidently over.

Finnigan is doing okay and is as sweet as ever!

Other than all of this, I am just trying to keep up with things. Take care of yourselves and stay safe, and be kind! God Bless America!
