I understand, Joy. Hope things continue to improve. I think I should take a break too.

hope things are going better, Joy.

welcome, bwflowers! On vacation right now and walking but eating too much! Joy, you are doing everything right but that does not mean it is easy.I too hope you can find someone to help out at home. And possibly with the farm?

so grateful for modern medicine. Lost my dad at age 13 to his 4th heart attack. In 1966. Maybe in a few more years there would have been something to keep him around longer…

Hoping for the best, Joy. Glad he has family nearby! I hope you can find a bit of time to de-stress, even if for a few minutes. You need your strength.

oh, Joy, I hope you get some good news and soon!!! It was good you thought to do all the right things in such a scary time.

kind thoughts for this week, Joy. A bit of a walk, car repair, gardening, sunset at the lake.

so happy it is apple season! Went to a garlic festival today and had a short walk.

the new cataract walk at the falls.beautiful day to wave at Canada! I would say 90 minutes of walking this beautiful place shared by two countries. Not sure we have expertise with weight, just years of experience. Such a struggle.

lots of errands today—put some corn in the freezer. Walked some. Thinking of a day trip to Niagara Falls—there is a new cataract path on the US side that looks interesting.

MFP has been wonky for me. Rained all day except for the 10 minute drizzle while we met with a tree surgeon. Feeling tired. That is a sad story about the fiancee! I hope she improves a lot. Also decluttering here and hoping to have a garage sale soon.

I think instruction manuals are not what they used to be. The sense feature sounds cool. Lovely walk in nice weather. 70 minutes.

africa sounds fascinating! Took a long bike ride today, then got my fall shots.

in a thunderstorm right now but at least we do not have a tornado warning. We got a bit of a walk in beforehand, but humidity was fierce.

chair yoga, 45 min. Walk. So humid today. I am sure you will enjoy the washer!

so sad about your brother in law! You are so right about finances and wishes being out in the open. rain and more rain here—not able to exercise outside. So frustrating. For no reason at all a recent pic of one of the lakes we share. I am sure you can guess which one.

Hope you enjoyed your time out. Did lots of canning today, went on a bike ride. Exhausted!

true about the lake but it is huge news in New York State. Half the places around here have Ontario in their name. No way folks around here will call it anything else. At the store today there was a sign above the strawberries that said Product of Canada. They looked amazing. 8 dollars a quart. beautiful weather…

that is good news about the washer. I wonder if people south of me have any idea how much trade there is between the two countries. Border people do know. The others will learn the hard way. Family dynamics can be very fluid. You have a mature attitude, but I hope it all bounces back eventually. Walked about 50 minutes,…

walking 1 hr. We had lunch out. I do not watch TV news and I just read a lot. Used to be a radio listener but it does not help me now at all. It was nice to walk by a lake in a park and to watch an old movie tonight—need to de-stress.

chair yoga 45 min, walking 75 min, weeding, shopping. My mood improves if I stop doomscrolling.

so sad to hear about the shower problem. People should not assume who is likely to attend, in my opinion. I hope everything gets smoothed over. We went walking in a couple of new places we had been meaning to try. Both were nice. The first one was more a mini walk so we ventured to place 2. Almost got rained on and other…

nice walk in the woods near the lake. I wonder if I will ever be able to visit across the lake again. Not to be political either, but some days it takes all my energy to not give in to despair at the state of the world.

bike ride this morning, fun outing in the afternoon. Rain is in the forecast. That is not conducive to garden work. Still so much weeding to do!

glad you had a good outing! Lots of things to do so no walking. Did some exercise laying mulch down. hope to get more exercise tomorrow. It is great it is not hot lately!

So it is not much different than here. More errands today—got a park walk in though which was pleasant.

Walking 50 minutes—a bit too humid for my taste. lots of boring errands filled the day. Doctor appts tomorrow. Such a party girl! when does the growing season start and end up north?

walking 80 min.did a lot of weeding but so much more to go. glad your rain has stopped!

nice day but warmish. Weeding, going for a walk, farm market. We are just starting peach season here and I hope the ones I bought will be good.

just trying to make it through. A bit of gardening, saw a tiny sliver of the eclipse before rain set in. between flooding and fires it seems Canada is not getting a break—good luck with the fields.
