RIP Bobby, June, Melting, Besties, Blooms, and Trees
Do you remember your first
teen idol?
For me, there were only two.
The first being
Bobby Sherman.
June 24, Bobby left this
world after a battle with stage 4
cancer.
I must say, this hits home.
This makes me realize that I am
no longer young, as if I needed
a reminder.
Since losing a dear friend in
2018, mom early on in 2019 and
dear friends in the next
few years, I started to
think so much about my
age. The lines in my face
when I look in the mirror,
the gray hair, aches and pains
and so much more reminds
me daily that I am aging.
There is no way out of it.
I just hope that I leave a piece
of me behind when I am
gone.
RIP
Bobby.
On the flip side of passing on
to living on...
June Lockhart turned
100 on Wed.
Merriest bday June.
For those that know June,
she goes back to my childhood
with shows like Lassie and
Lost in Space.
It is Wed. morning while I
try to enjoy coffee on the deck but
thinking that at 7:48 am, its
time to go in. Hard to enjoy
coffee when its 78 already with
a feels like of 85 and the humidity
is setting at 85 percent.
Going to be a rough one again
today.
I had to go out yesterday,
yearly appt with the
Endocrinologist about my parathyroid
issue, and osteoporosis
so, I had to go out,
otherwise, my rear would
have stayed in.
It was HORRIBLE
and I feel for those folks
I saw driving around with
no air in the car.
FYI~ all's well for now,
come back in a yr.
My appt to the kidney doc
last year and my ultrasound,
showed that we just need
to cont. to watch them and
report back in six months.
Not sure if you remember
in 2023 when I had the
stent put in my kidney to
relieve pressure till surgery
could be done and the
next day I ended up in
the ER?
As I laid in bed in the ER,
one of my oldest and
dearest friend walked by.
She was there with her mom!
Keep in mind, we have other
hospitals, even ones nearer
then the one I was at, but there
we were, both there, same time,
same day...
When I went to the doc
on Wed., I tried the parking
area up next to the East
wing when I needed to be.
Of course, it was full which
meant, off to the garage and
walking over to the bldg in
the blazing heat. As I was
leaving the small parking area,
I had to stop at the entrance before
moving across the street. I
light blue bug with the
cutest eyes, yes, I mean car
was turning right in front of
me to come into that lot.
I knew who this was as soon
as I saw the eyes on the
car. One of moms
dearest friends, a woman that
lived two doors up as I
entered my teens until about
ten years ago.
Wow, is this hospital to
be my meeting place?
haha
I
LOVE
those eyes.
The layers of flowers with
the little blooms inside
the loner pedals out,
and the colors,
beautiful.
The red is so bright and
vibrant.
The yellow bust out
in bloom like the sunshine.
Finally, buds!
This is my or was supposed
to be my wildflower bed.
Not sure what I did
with the actual seeds I threw
out here but they were not
the ones I thought they
were.
heads of flowers that
contain seeds, dry them,
and plant again the next
yr. I had some but then
I grabbed a lot last
fall at the park down the
street. Those are the ones
I thought I planted here....
BUT NO!
Problem is I have no clue where
I put those seeds, they sure
did not get put with the others
like they should have been done.
But as it is, the short, whatever
I threw here are about to bloom.
I know that the one above is
a zinnia and the one
above it is a marigold.
I will have to be better about
harvesting seeds this yr.
This is a Pignut
Hickory tree coming up
in a spot I have had issues with,
grass don't wish to grow
here.
It is actually
between the carport and the
shed so I am thinking I
might let it grow, but then
again, I will prob change my
mind. I am woman, that is my
right!
This is growing from the
root of the tree that was
taken out when the house was
built. Yeah, or nay on
letting it grow?
The next three pics
are from the internet.
And as stated in the
name, it grows nuts.
This above is like walnuts,
they have an outer casing,
that has to be opened to find
the nut to open.
Can you eat them,
Yes, pignut hickory nuts are edible
but their taste is somewhat bitter.
Not really edible, not by me
anyway, drops nuts, but something
growing, shade~
gotta think on this one.
Do you have things growing in
your space that you wished you
did not have, would like to do
away with or is there something
that popped up that you are
excited about?
Pam
