It took another three hours to trim out the gardens, now they look clean and I swear they are sparkling! Three large bushels of trimmings and waste were hauled out of the little side garden in the back, the Burmese Trumpet Vine was trimmed back, the two bushes in the front were shaped and the Japanese Maple between the front windows was topped.
My body feels it this morning.
After a shower, I drove over the pass to meet Michael then we bought a bottle of wine for the party today and the scotch and gin for Mary and her sister Patty's visit in less than two weeks. Since it was foggy, the traffic on the pass was not too awful. We lazed the rest of the day away, watched the Giant's win (finally!) and I fell into bed early.
It was a shock to see that a plane crashed yesterday. Michael was close enough to the airport that he actually heard it. I felt relief when it was announced that there were survivors and so happy at the numbers. Lives were changed in just moments but it could have been so much worse. We were hearing stories on the local news about one particular stewardess who apparently was tiny yet she dragged and carried several men out of the plane on her own. A son, who was waiting for his father on the plane, told the story and also remarked that his dad was searching for her. She was remarkable. I am sure we will all be hearing many more stories in the weeks to come.
