Friday Flower Bloggin'

My clementis is doing well this year. This was taken last week and it has bloomed more fully this week.

I took my car to the garage first thing this morning. I had the oil changed and the A/C check. It had no freon. They filled it up and could not find any leaks. The hose was wet so a very small leak is suspected. I guess I should have it replaced as I don't like having freon leaking into the atmosphere. I don't think that is good. I was able to read a good deal of my new book that I got for my birthday while I waited for my car to get done.

I wanted to cut the grass today but couldn't get the darn mower started. I was going to go get a spark plug but waited until Erin's cousin came for her. She left around 2:45 for Washington, DC. He is judging a dance contest there. It should be a fun weekend for her.

The weather man called for rain today and it looked like it would but it didn't. It was humid and then became hot. The air kicked on in the late afternoon. My neighbor gave me a couple rock fish so I had a piece for dinner. He does a lot of fishing. I was happy to get the fish. Rock fish is one of my favorites.

Hi Karol, I'll bet trying to handle her patient that became angry was very frightening for Erin, especially with just beginning a new job. It sounds like she did what she was supposed to do though.

I'm sorry to hear of your cousin's husband dying of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer seems to be a type of cancer that once it's diagnosed, there isn't much time before they die. It's so horrible. I was talking with a doctor the other day about cancer. I was asking him about the whys of cancer and if he thought there might be a cure found. He felt so thankful that in the world of medicine, he began explaining to me about a scientist that had finally broken a code concerning cancer genomes. And, he was feeling very optimistic about this finding. And, I'm sure it is progress, but, sadly, nearly every family has lost someone so dear to cancer. It also seems to me, we're hearing more about younger people losing the battle with cancer, such as your dear husband, my baby sister, your cousin's husband, and on and on. It is an evil disease with no mercy for anyone at any age. I'm praying for a true cure so we don't have to feel such pain of losing loved ones. It will be such a sad time for your cousin, but, as you can testify to, the only way to truly begin to bear the loss of a loved one is time. Having faith surely helps, but, when a person is feeling so deeply saddened and overwhelmed, our faith is surely tested. We simply cannot understand the whys of this awful disease that has taken the lives of so many of our loved ones. I will keep your cousin in my prayers.
Love, Ruth

Your clemetis is beautiful Karol. Was sorry I had to leave mine behind but I have quite a few Rodedemuns coming into full bloom plus lots of weeds I need to get at one of these days.
