   My doctor's appointment went well, though it was nearly noon before I got home. In the afternoon I puttered, doing things like breaking down boxes and pulling all the tape off.  Maegin  has another section free of bamboo that needs to be covered with cardboard and rotten hay so the bamboo doesn't grow back.  After harvesting the girls spiffed up the display area.  The rest of their day was spent making pickles.  Jay and Bekah left early to celebrate their anniversary.  Nothing too special, they ate at Wendy's and went school shopping!  But it was nice to get away.  I took some packages to Andrew and Gayle.  Maegin cleaned the kitchen.  Nothing special planned for today.  cleaning,and putting the cardboard down.  Some flowers need to be deadheaded.  And watering, always watering.

   May your day be blessed, Sally
