The Highs:
1. This was the first weekend in a month when I didn't have to write a blog post, meaning the A-Z challenge was over. I did it! Having a theme this year was easier, but limiting at times. We'll see what next year brings.
2. The weather was good, so that we were able to work in the yard and enjoy the continuing blooms.
3. It wasn't my Saturday to work, so I was off all weekend.
4. Ward, Theo, and I are all fully vaccinated as of yesterday. Wally only has one more to go.
4. Because of our vaccination status, yesterday, we had a cookout to celebrate Ward's birthday. It was a small affair with just family, but it was so nice. The food was simple and we had a relaxed time enjoying each other's company. This was a first cookout since over a year ago.
5. There are good leftovers from yesterday to have today, including Key Lime Pie. Yum!
The Lows:
1. Something (deer probably) has broken or eaten all of the branches on our small apple tree. We need to prune up what's left and figure out if we can construct protection for it from critters.
2. I found out a friend has been put in Hospice Care. This was a shocker because last time I talked to her, she was doing well. These kind of events spur introspection and this time was no exception.
