Wanderlusting!

My mantra all summer, each summer, is hurry up September!  We are here now, and the temps have started to shift - at last!

It was 75 Friday morning as I washed my car, and the high was only 100.  I know that we're not over the heat wave, this is the first tease for fall weather.  But I sure am ready!! 

I peeked out my backdoor, and felt like I should be out there, getting things prepped for fall!  But washing the car was a good start.  Which only means it will probably rain!! 

But with lower temps, my feet start itching for outdoor morning walks! When I woke up today, I dressed and slipped out for a walk ... 75 is great, but humidity was 62%, yuck! 

Should be better in another week or two!!

Neighbors (2)

I was just speaking about neighbors.  My next door, Charles, is an elderly gentleman.  A month ago, he fell and broke his hip.  He came home yesterday, and today he decided to hobble on his walker across the rocks to get my help!!  Sheesh, almost had a heart attack watching him walk over.  He is one stubborn and determined man! 

He thought he lost his phone, but the meds he is on has him a little befuddled.  I spoke to a friend of his, she's an RN and helps take care of him.  We got him calmed, the phone wasn't lost, and he's ready to settle in for the night. 

I left him my phone number, just in case.  He probably won't call, he wants to do things on his own. But I'm here to help if he needs me! 

Being neighborly is the right thing to do!
