Summer

We have had the most amazing, beautiful stretch of weather. It has been in the upper 70s low 80s with low humidity. Today Mom and I went for a drive, bought some ice cream and then went to a local lake to people-watch. Mom was ready to get out of the house and the perfect weather helped convince her to go. She's still not sleeping through the night though. She's getting up and walking a bit more and doesn't seem to be in such excruciating pain.

My strawberries are blooming and a few of the blossoms are turning into strawberries. I can't wait. I'm not expecting a huge crop but it's still fun. My neighbor has tomatoes.

I'm so glad you and your Mom were able to get out and enjoy the weather. Sorry about the not sleeping through the night part.

Come on strawberries!
