Thank you for your comments, good thoughts, wishes, and hugs on my Will Be Back On Saturday post. I didn't mean to worry anyone, just wanted to let you know that things are a bit difficult here right now, but we will muddle through. I also realized that I will not really be back on Saturday because my friend Hayley-Eszti will guest post about M. E., the horrific illness she lives with. Talk about difficult, I know of no one who has it quite that difficult.
So please come by on Saturday and read Hayley-Eszti's post, she is one magnificent young woman and I promise you will enjoy getting to know her.
As for us, Samson is barking like crazy outside right now, Wednesday evening, coyotes are coming around this time of day.
I'm going to see my doctor about my leg pain tomorrow and hubby is seeing his specialist on Thursday next week. But since he doesn't want me to write about him, I'm not quite sure what I will do.
I can tell you what we have done: Together we removed all the leftovers from last year's garden, weeded it, dumped everything, and hubby raked it. Next we will think about how we want it this year. Design it a bit differently based on what we learned last year. Then turn it over, add fertilizer and whatever else is needed. And plant the seeds.
But before that, we need to get rid of this:

Which can be found all over our land, the result of these:
that blew innocently in the wind last May when I took this picture. That's how they spread their seeds, and spread they did. Everything is green and pretty around here right now, but since we are under Red Flag fire alert already, and the Santa Anas have been blowing strong, we better get ourselves in gear and get moving on all those weeds. I hope our friends in San Diego county are OK; the fires there look terrible on the TV news.
Our friend Rachael is coming up from Burbank Friday morning. She and I will visit the gift shop at the Norbertine Sisters' Monastery on Tehachapi Mountain, hopefully pet a few goats, then have lunch and talk. And she will cut my hair, which will be so great. She has good intuition and couldn't have picked a better time to come and cheer us up.
Thanks again for everything, you guys are the best!
Samson Says: Have a nice day, everyone!
