I can’t think of the number of times I have started a post with, “Well, that didn’t go as planned!”

So – here we are again. But today it was all pretty much in a good way. With one exception.

Simon had another day off and built my strawberry netting frame – and it’s fabulous. Finally I don’t have to fight the birds for my fruit. Yay!

We planted more squash and weeded and did various other garden things. Let’s face it, every day now involves doing garden things.

In the afternoon, he suggested taking a drive to Nakusp to get a few more of my things out of storage. So happy to have my beautiful lamp and end tables back in the house!

So – a good day. The exception? I am in a pretty much constant state of anxiety about Abby. She’s better but she’s not right. Lots of trouble walking; spaced out lots of the time; can’t stand up to eat.

So I’m worried about her – and feeling helpless to do anything.

So – also frustrated.

Deep breath – need to go make soup and bake sourdough – and soon take a very long walk in the mountains.
