    Michele that plant has a very nice rounded form. I wonder if it got trimmed this spring and the flower buds cut off?

    This is what I thought too. Speaking from experience. Azalea buds come soon after blooming, so if you prune too late, the buds get cut off. The good news is, if it isn't pruned again this year, it should be loaded with blooms next year.

    2023: Be of good cheer. May: Move more, fuel better, live NOW.

    I had seriously thought about sleeping in my car but that would have really upset mom. Plus, it would have been realllly cold, as it was raining off and on. Plus the fact I need to lay down to sleep on my side so reclining in my car seat would not have been restful at all. If I wanted to lay down in the back seat, I would have had to move stuff of the back seat, including Ezie's car seat at almost midnight in the total dark.

    Vicki - Great photo of your son and grandson. One proud granny!

    I have a few pics from last night's book launch and the fruit of our efforts with the girls! :p

    My friend G called in for a cup of tea this afternoon, on her way to a lecture at the university. Nice to see her.

    We toddled out for fish and chips and then went to French Circle. It was about the Gorges du Tarn, in the South of France, where I holidayed 50 years ago! Loads of memories came flooding back of places we visited. We were camping, and I mainly remember a huge thunderstorm, with the thunder echoing down the gorge.

    My stamina is very low at the moment. I tire very easily.

    Our excursions leaflet arrived yesterday, so we spent the morning planning which trips to take. I will book them first thing tomorrow morning as the popular ones book up quickly. I hope we are not too late for the glacier trip. It all adds up to quite a lot of money, but it's once in a lifetime.

    Now to do my Norwegian . I'm on a 70 day streak!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx


    Hmmm ... I might have to look up her books. Especially that one.

    I like her dress. My kind of colour.

    And you need to rest and let your body heal.

    Annie – no, the plant didn’t get trimmed. To be honest, I wouldn’t even know HOW to do it.

    Kim – the extension office says that it is an azalea (news to me!). But they didn’t say how to encourage the flowers to grow. It’s located in the NNW corner of the house.

    Flea – I’ve never pruned that azalea bush and it’s been like that for a few years. Wonder what I can do to encourage flower growth? I did send that question to the extension office. They did send me information about azaleas, but it didn’t address that question

    Maybe I’ll go work on the jigsaw puzzle a bit and then hit the sack.

    Allie – I agree that Miles needs to be with other children, even if only for a few days/week. And you need a break. He’s getting older and more rambunctious.

    Rosemarie— Thank you for your kind words. ❤️

    I miss long-time dear friends in Oregon most of all. Thankfully I have made friends here, too.

    Rori I know I’ve already mentioned Bone Broth but I really think it helps with inflammation. It may reduce your healing time. It would probably help Heather as well.
