My family, husband, my home, and friends all take on a special meaning. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on my family and friends.
I completely lucked out when it came to my health issues. Had 2 surgeries for carpal tunnel syndrone last fall. You sure have a reckoning about your hands and what you do with them! Dang, that was too much.
The scare came this year with breast cancer. A lump was on my left breast. It was a very rare cancer but one that had fast growing cells. Surgery was 3 weeks after diagnosis. No treatment required as the pathology report said no cancer anywhere. Surgeon took out the lymph node (the cancer highway) and found nothing. Flesh around lump: no cancer, no seeds, nothing. Prayers were answered. Future: monthly breast exams and 3D mammograms. Covid cancelled my 2020 mammogram. My advice: don't ignored this test.
So there's my garden. Mother Nature is still playing her tricks. Lousy production. Did try some new varieties and very pleased about the taste of some of these veggies. Have pie pumpkins and raised some gourds for ornamental purposes. I have big smiles looking at them hanging from their vines.
And, it's fall, my favorite time of the year. Chilly mornings, warm afternoons. Football has returned. I do love my alma mater's football games. Cheering, cussing, eating, wine or pumpkin ale jugging, all is fun.
Holidays are coming and I may actually be with my family. We all have our shots. Last year. the holidays were very lonely. I do so hope this pandemic leaves us soon for many reasons. Too many people are dying.
