    Finally, a Morning Glory close enough for me to snap.



    Swai fish for lunch today, with steamed carrots, asparagus and yuca. Avocado on the side.

    After siesta and coffee, we set out for the park. Began our walk heading west. The sun was hot, persuading Mary to overcome her fear of the new addition. It has more shade. We went all the way to the college before heading back.

    From the park we drove to Walmart where Mary bought a bag of red mulch to keep weeds off her flowers and a wire frame to place around the yellow poplar sprout. Maybe George would see that and not run over the little survivor. Later, Mary tied red ribbons to the frame.

    Near sundown, Anna and Denise drove up on the golf cart with Leah to bring me a check to deposit for Mother. Leah ran over to my scooter and climbed on. I let her make it go up the driveway and back. I steered. She then ran into the house and spent a little quality time with Mary. Leah doesn't get to see Mary on Mondays during summer vacation. Her mother Denise is an art teacher.

    Mary gets a surprise visit.


    I've been noticing a scarlet tanager flitting about.

    71.5 °F, clear.

  • yes, the morning glory you talked about yesterday.
    we have a couple(mating) of red cardinals who have hung around our house for years.

  • I am always delighted by the little birds that show up in my backyard. Of course, having a precious little child visit is even a better occasion! Your house is very beautiful, John.
