An Update of Sorts...Kinda ...

Much, much, much has happened in my life in the past six weeks or so...but honestly, not much I care to post here.

Mainly I've bought a different house.  I've moved.  I've sold the other house.  I'm still riding quite a few miles every day...usually between 32 and 42 per day.  I've been so busy I can't even tell you what my total for the year is right now.  I've kept it...it's on another computer...and it's just not currently handy.  But we ride nearly daily and usually about the same number of miles.

On one of our rides we discovered (well...I'm sure it wasn't undiscovered or lost..it was simply the first we all knew about it) an incredible, beautiful garden.  HUGE!!!  I assume that's somewhat what a commercial garden looks like.  The Amish lady that was out in the garden told us they have seven children and they all help.  We were on bicycles that particular day so we didn't buy anything, but a few days later the three of us took a car and bought some fresh veggies.  Yummy!!!!   They have simply everything and it's an extraordinarily well groomed garden.

Yesterday we had rain.  You know, that stuff that falls from the sky and it's wet.  Well, we actually had a great rain all day long.  Evidently it seemed a lot nicer that what it actually was, as the weatherman said we had some small amount (like .34 inch)...and it seemed like we surely had at least an inch!  We need rain so badly that we're excited to get ANY!  At my new place I'm told I should expect to see deer and turkeys on a regular basis.  Yesterday turkeys were in the neighbor's yard and they were soaked....still struttin' their stuff, but black and slick with rain.  I have a wooded area behind my house that I lovingly refer to as "my woods."   I keep peeking out the windows at dawn and dusk hoping to see a deer, but not yet.

Some of you will remember that I had a bit of a conflict over a different place that I'd tried to buy and the dingbat that was selling it changed her mind.  Long story...not here.  I can only say that someone was watching over me...I love this new place.  It's unique and I think just gorgeous.  A good friend of mine came out and kept saying over and over again, "Wow."....."Wow."   Later she called and said she had come up with the perfect expression to describe my place:  "Wow."     I feel the same way.  Neatest place I've had yet!

Life is good and I'm always happy to count my blessings...they're many!!!  Count yours too.
