How do you do it?

"I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, who wrote the book of...."

How do you all do it? Every day you have something to say. And it's interesting, or profound, or intellectually challenging (for me, at any rate), a well reasoned political rant, or just plain nice and fun. My treatise on the Road Runner beep, beeping was close to rock bottom.

I did see my oldest daughter on Mother's Day, an unexpected and nice surprise. She called to say she was outside, and would meet me on the deck. It did take me a mental moment to realize she was outside, and I said I did have a mask, to please come in.

She stayed about an hour and then left to join the family at Ruth's. In the course of conversation, I learned she over did gardening and is back in the leg brace. In or out, she cannot use a garden stool, it's too tall for her to bend comfortably, and she cannot kneel.

Over the course of the week I researched variable height stools, and found one on Amazon. I tried and tried, but could not get Amazon to add a shipping address, as I have often done in the past. So, I got it in the usual two days, and arranged to drive to Beth's house early Saturday morning.

I don't remember selecting a color, but guess I got a good one. Beth agreed that Grandma Lytle would approve.

I took a tour of the flower beds. I stopped under the robin's nest, but stood back from their long drop toilet.

I walked around and around her old flowering cherry, in awe.

And I came home.
