Wednesday...

 

The painted lady butterfly was a lone one at the zinnia patch.  I had to look hard to find it among the blooms. 

 

Can you find the butterfly in this picture? It is almost impossible to see it as it blends in on the orange zinnia. 

 

I am still picking a few tomatoes at a time. I am glad to get the red tomato as I have a lot more yellow tomatoes than red ones. I did give away a bag of tomatoes to one of the neighbors to the south. 

I was given a few starts of this plants years ago.  I am continually moving the new ones to different pots. I hat to throw an alive plant away in the garbage.  I think I need to find someone to share with this plant. It is a forever gift. 

I missed blogging yesterday.  I didn't really notice as life does get to be busy.  I took my wife to her last visit to her surgeon yesterday.  While the gallbladder was removed weeks ago my wife got an infection that needed to be treated.  To solve that problem they kept inserting drainage tubes to clear internal cavities. At one time she had five different drains. Yesterday the doctor pulled the last drain.  It was left in to monitor her condition and the collection bulb had reach a point of almost being dry. It is so good to have it out and now she can get down to complete healing. It set her back a lot with losing a lot of weight again. The time now is to rest and build the muscles and to eat.  It is good that we don't have to maintain the drain bulb anymore. 

We are cold today but will warm up by noon.  It is fall and the furnace is on in the morning and the air is turned on late afternoon.  Soon it will just be cold forever.  Thanks for stopping by today.
