Our Yard

 one lone morning glory blooms happily

 a big wind during the night knocked down more apples

 
 
 the wood pile has pieces jutting out; one fell from the stack

 the leaning stack of wood

 Doc picked these up on Sunday; they weren't free from bites and wormholes

 one lone gladiola made it past the rabbits

 

New Vaccines

 This is new, and 90% effective compared to the one we received two years ago. That one was only 30% effective.  I got the vaccine Friday morning in my left arm and felt like I had the flu or shingles (horrible illness; I had it in 2012) until this morning.  Shingrix is in two doses.  Now that I know how uncomfortable it is, I'll get dose #2 when I have little else going on.

My right arm got the pneumonia vaccine and is tender with some splotchyness on the skin but is not too annoying.

Cooking and Flying

 Doc is having SO much fun with this surprise gift!! 

 He is practicing in the sunroom, learning tons from youtube videos

 
 
He's still grilling...................less since the Friday arrival of his drone!!!!

Doug and Figment

 The new pups came to live in Virginia and guess who is happiest???

Arbor and Gardens

 
 
 He's using the new stand up weed puller!

 Rabbits liked the grape leaves so he caged the new plants.

Knitting at Panera

 We meet every Wednesday, as our schedules allow.  Yesterday, only three of us arrived.

While chatting and knitting, I knit to the heel shaping of Augustine's request socks.

Grape Arbor

I bought one red and one white vine from Front Range Gardens. 

Happy happy! The red is near Dennis' front door, the white is close to our front door. 

Quiet and Lonely at The Barn

 
My walking buddy has returned to Virginia.  I'm walking alone today.

It's just the Seniors here! Lonely and so quiet!

There are no water balloons or Mentos rockets, no Beatles songs or "Grandpa wanna play video games?" 

Five Cutest Grandchildren

These three, plus Mommy and Daddy, flew to Colorado from Virginia. 

 
Natasha starts kindergarten and could hardly wait!
 
 
They are wonderful! All are unique, smart, and beautiful; ages = 4, 5, 7, 8, 9.
