Happy Fall, Y'all! (Just a Little Late...)

Posted on 6:34 PM by jimmy

Hi, Everyone!


 



I have been a baaad blogger...


 



How can a person suddenly have too much time on their hands,


 


yet accomplish so little?


 


That's what's happening with me here.


 



Empty nest.


 



My children will tell you I spend too much time checking on them...


 



(I worry!)


 



Sweet little Cyrus has been sick...


 



(More worrying, especially since he can't tell me how he feels...)


 


He is well, now, thank goodness.


 


Everyone is in place for the moment.


 


So what happens now?


 


I decided at the beginning of summer that I was going to lose weight ~


 



(the weight I gained when I ate and then didn't die after breast cancer in 1999) ;^)


 


...and I did!


 



Well, I still am...not quite at my goal yet.


 



But you know what?


 


I have learned (first hand)


 


that when a woman "of a certain age" loses a lot of weight,


 



it makes her gall bladder very unhappy...


 


Who knew?


 


Not me, that's for sure.


 



But that's what happened.


 


I get to take medicine for a little while


 


 and eat unsweetened applesauce and Jello.


 


Then surgery, probably.


 


(Much preferable to gall bladder attacks.)

Did I ever think I would say "Too many tomatoes"?



Nope.

Heirloom okra, destined to become Vultures...

Leo has taken to sitting on the okra vultures like a hen.



no matter what stage they are in...



even with still-wet sealer on them!

And finally, Cypress Vines...



everywhere!



Like last year, if any of you would like seeds,



I would be more than happy to send you some ~



just leave me your address in a message ~



it may take me a little while,





























but I'd be glad to share!



♥



And how is your Autumn shaping up??



Love,
