Cindy has a wonderful eye for creating "beauty spots" all around the house. For example, there are new sliding doors in the dining area that lead out to the back porch. As you look through the sliding doors, you see this hanging basket, filled with petunias and sweet potatoes. Yes, sweet potatoes; because they have pretty dangling vines, they are perfect for this arrangement. I didn't know that. And I never would have thought about creating this pretty eye catcher.
Remember those "helicopter" maple seeds. They don't just land everywhere in the yard, they also fill up the gutters. Eric had removed the covers to the gutters for a reason I didn't understand. Today he had to climb this very long ladder to remove the new maple trees from all the gutters. It was heart stopping for those who were watching. Me. See the long drop to the ground in the picture that follows. I know, you can't see the ground, but is is one story below the porch level. I'm glad he made it down. I told him that I didn't want to delete these pictures because they were the last taken of him before his tragic fall.
Do you remember that my friend Teena was pregnant when I went to India for the last time? That was a year ago last November. Here she is with little Nihal. Too cute. He looks just like his dad. Teena tells me that her friends call him Little Shini after his dad. I'm very happy for her.
Not so happy that Clif and Lynda were asked to leave The Times last Wednesday. Yes, one more layoff. Can you cut your way to happiness? I hope those two are happy. The Times is much poorer for them leaving. I'll just keep looking at little Nihal and remember that life goes on.
