Now it's really been awhile since I've checked in... I've got a few minutes here before I plan on taking my car in the garage for an oil change, so thought I'd jot a few notes. I can always come back and elucidate further. Or not.
Update on the tomatoes for whomever is reading (not that there is anyone, but still), I did get a few. It wasn't a great year for growing, although that is probably my fault. I stuck these plants in pots far too small, but truly was grateful for the dozen or so great fruit that did mature. In my opinion, no summer is complete without a tasty tomato and homemade bread sandwich. Oh, and s'mores afterwards. Weird taste, but a tradition for me nonetheless.
Things with THE friends till a little...odd. At least for me. She's on Facebook now and I do get to post and get react to hers, but I think I'm seeing her differently. I still never told her about what I read...before she took it all down. I'm not sure it would matter to her anyway. No doubt she'd be amused at my torment. Don't know really. And should I really care?
New neighbor moved in next door. Not sure how to take her either. I'm not really into cultivating close relationships with some neighbors. It goes back to that old saying, "Familiarity breeds contempt." I like the one: "Good fences make good neighbors." And in this case, that is going to be a certainty. Wish I could afford to fence in my little acre here. Keep all the stray dogs out and any construction crews that wander in from building next door's new garage in spring. We shall see.
Well, must dash. Have to get the car warmed up and headed down the road to the mechanic. I should change my own oil and save the labor/oil fees, but when the guys put that old rustbucket up on the lift, and then just reach under to unscrew the oil cap....it's so much easier than rolling around underneath the car in my driveway!
All for now....
