Another Beautiful Day
Another beautiful day here in the “Sandhills” today. It all began this morning as I was slowly coming to when the phone rang at 6:30 a. m. Our neighbor across the street, Helen, was without water and she had overnight guests who needed showers when they got up. Angie checked and we had plenty of water pressure. I got dressed and went over to check to see what her water meter was doing. It was buzzing along full blast – a leak somewhere. We walked toward the house and could hear water gushing in the crawl space. It turned out to be a loose hose clamp on a connection on a pressure reducer where the service came into the house. I was able to put the line back onto the regulator and seat the clamp tightly and have her back in business in abour a half an hour.
The termite inspector came at 8:00 a.m and we got a clean bill of health
Angie went to water aerobics at 9:00 a.m and when she came home we went to Brutons berry patch to pick blackberries. They are delicious but the thorns on the bushes bite back when you pick. On the way back, we stopped at Kalawi Farm Stand and bought some peaches and sweet corn. The sweet corn was delicious along with the flounder stuffed with crabmeat and mushrooms in white sauce that we had for supper!
We had lunch on the back porch and I will share with you some of the flowers that we gaze upon while we eat.

After lunch, I went to a meeting at church to discuss our future plans for the Food Pantry. Food Pantry is another subject that I will go into on a day when we work over there to distribute food.
At the end of the meeting, my E.M.S. pager went off and I responded to the third call for the day. On the way back, I stopped to get the mail.
The next thing on my agenda was to swim my daily 1/2 mile. (Whoops, my one eyed titmouse friend just came for a drink at my feet. I think he winked at me.)
The wind was calm and the lake was beautiful..........
It is 7:45 in the evening, the sun is setting in the west, the squirrell is playing on the corn cob wheel, and I am sitting here listening to "Radio Louisana" Zydeco music typing on this thing.
