A quick update to let you know that Cliff lived through the night and is back in this world with us. Last evening he felt well enough to make a couple of eggs for his supper. By nine o'clock fatigue overtook him again and he went to bed. We think he ran a fever in the night because he was soaked with sweat at one point in his sleep. This morning he ate a normal oatmeal breakfast with his dish of blueberries and strawberries. He made up my bed, brushed his teeth, and is getting ready to do the dishes. We have haircut appointments for 10 and he feels enough energy to do that. He looks good and the grey skin color is back to human again. It's rainy dreary grey this morning with 100% chance of rain today. Yesterday was 68 with sun so I spent a few hours outside off and on while keeping an eye on him and making sure he hydrated. Late in the afternoon he did go outside for a few minutes because one of our beautiful large woodpeckers flew into a screened window, very unusual for that to happen on a screened window, and he carried it down to the leaves in the woods where we said good-bye to him.

We haven't had any rain in weeks and the next ten days show no rain in sight. Trees usually are bursting with fresh green leaves by this time but not leaves sprouting yet. I haven't planted any seeds in the big garden because it'll be too much work to keep that garden watered. I thought about building a raised garden to put by the porch stairs but that would mean power saws so that was out. I found that Lowe's had a 2' X 4' cedar planter kit in a box that I could assemble myself. I started assembling it on the porch with the intent of carrying it down to where I thought it would be best but plans changed. It's a tool-free frame assembly kit where all the parts are computer-driven cut and fit together without fastening. The instructions are the kind I like......no reading to confuse me, just pictures. After I assembled the whole bed, sides slats and all, it was too heavy for me and because it wasn't fast...
Deer helping me trim the tired summer plants. This is bunny's trademark. With seasonal changes happening animal diets have changed. Plants that have survived deer and bunny all summer are now their favorite foods. Lynn, who lives at the top of Clay Durrett next to Libby, has her cousin visiting for a few weeks from Lisbon, Portugal. He moved there a few years ago and absolutely loves living in Europe. The four of us have been eating out Friday nights. Steve is a hoot with a great sense of humor so he and I really hit it off together. He's a combination of Tommy Vanzini and Lance Hayes from my male friends back in Jr High and High school. So enjoyable to laugh at life again. He'll return to Lisbon later this week. Today TWC predicted only an 18% chance of rain. About an hour ago while talking to my sister on the phone it started pouring and so far the weather station console reported "raini...
