The trees are about to show us how lovely it is to let things go.

An ENE breeze Friday, a SW breeze Saturday. Partly cloudy Sunday with a SSE breeze, a high of 79 and a low of 57.  Partly cloudy Monday with a south breeze, a high of 75 and a low of 57.  Possible PM showers next Tuesday with a north breeze, a high of 70 and a low of 52.  Partly cloudy Wednesday, the 20th, Thursday, the 21st, and Friday, the 22ed, with stiff NNW breezes, highs about 68 and lows in the upper forties.  Possible morning showers Saturday , the 23rd, with a WNW breeze, a high of 68 and a low 49.

       Three mini strokes in 24 hours took a lot out of Darel.  With help getting to his feet he was still walking with the walker.  He slept most of the day, by evening his pulse was back up to 60 from a low of 39.  He slept well last night and sat up with less help this morning.

        I made some applesauce yesterday, today I'll try to get it canned.  I picked tomatoes in the hoop house and watered it.  I'm hoping to get out to the garden, it seems like I should have some field tomatoes ripe.  I'm thinking I'll get more done outside today.  Darel wanted me to sty beside him for awhile yesterday morning.  And i didn't venture far the rest of the day.  Nicole sat with him after he fell asleep so i could get some tomatoes on the stand.

       Doug mowed hay.  He hadn't planned on making any more hay but can't pass up this weather.  He left before daylight to build fence hoping to get it finished so he can bale the hay when it is ready.  We don't often get such good hay weather in September!

       Have a good day, Sally
