That's three years of pruning debris on our two acre farm property, going up in smoke. Rural counties have "burn days" and yesterday was one of them so we took the opportunity to get rid of the huge pile of brush and branches in an attempt to get the property ready to be put on the market.
Okay. Have your opinion about it. Whatever. Be careful up there on the mountain top, in a glass house.....everyone has a rock in their hand in this firestorm society as we wait for the winds to change direction.
It's May 1st. May Day. May Day.
We are hunkered down in the blaze of the quarantine.. I've mastered the art of ordering groceries simultaneously from 2 different stores. No, I'm not overstocking. We have all sorts of diet restrictions in this household so it's tricky to get what we want....."you can't always get what you want....but if you try sometime, you find you get what you need..." Love that Rolling Stones song. Just love it.
Here it is for the hell of it:

So, I'm just burning to tell you the news that Jolynn is still doing well!! Her counts and numbers and bells and whistles are clamoring for the new normal. A liquid steroid helps her stomach issues, which helps with weight gain. She is at Day Plus 92 today......the honored day of Day Plus 100 is next Saturday, May 9th...marking a milestone for Bone Marrow Transplant patients. May is Jolynn's month. Her birthday is on Monday; then there's Day Plus 100 and then there's Mother's Day! So many reasons to step up, step out and smell the Lilacs!
And the Wisteria.
And the Honeysuckle.
And the Roses.
And all of those other luscious flowers in our English gardens at our new home in Bean Town.
How I worship my flowers........ While some are protesting so that they can go back to the taverns and be exposed to a deadly virus (yes, please do), some of us are content to let the smoke clear and loll and bask in the tranquility of solitude and pretty petals.
Closing off the raging stupidity, I give myself a break from headlines. I have to practice restraint from a full blown rant. The sweet, innocent faces of our pups snap me back to joy and gratefulness while I contemplate patience and why I need more of it.
Meanwhile, my little wildfire sweetheart in the big apple continues to recover.... good grief, what a year this has been so far...and it's only May.
The Pointer Sisters!

Hey. I've heard there are some problems with being able to leave a comment. Yikes.
Sorry - I've tried to fix that issue.
Try again. :)
