Flower Blooms-a Surprise & This and That

   Good Morning Tuesday,

     Yesterday morning early was our 6 month doctor's visit including those Medicare questions. This time we had excellent nurses. 

    This gives Larry the chance to get out of the house and drive his Suburban. We really like this doctor but the system is moving him to another city-about 45 minutes from us. We could go there but that is 4 lane highway driving and why do that when this clinic is local.  The new doctor will start this coming January  We ended up talking about the changes in our medical system here in the USA- -Not good  To save money they are only wanting one MD doctor in each office the rest to be Nurse Practioners-which we won't use-unless it's simple like poison ivy etc.  sad to see this happening in our country. We asked so is the MD responsible for the NP's?  Yes-he said that will be a big responsibility for him.

   My eyes seem to be getting worse again sigh. I have what they call dry eye which makes my vision blurry so am taking Blink capsules once a day and lots of eye drops during the day. Perhaps the change in weather is adding to it.

  Well enough of medical stuff. Yesterday I received two more lovely birthday cards including original art from one of my slow mail friends-thanks so much dear friends for bringing smiles to my mailbox. One friend sent dried leaves-I love those too-, I have those mixed in with my candles.

  I went up to place something in my mailbox this morning and discovered a couple flowers. I always cover the area with lots of zinnia and marigold seeds-which attracts the butterflies and bees-but with no rain this past summer-nothing grew.

  This first photo is a big pot of tall salvia-liking the rain we have been getting

    Today I will start the deep cleaning of our house-wash those big windows that face the lake first. I am thinking of baking up a few sugar cookies with Halloween cookie cutters-I believe I have a few cutters in my stash for Halloween

 When we drove to town yesterday most all of the trees are still green-even the oaks that turn brown still green So strange for this time of year-but we have had no frost or freeze as of yet 

Enjoy your day
