On Friday


The Front Garden in October



Another View of the Front Garden in October

On Friday, our high was 81F.  

Dancer had an appointment at the vet clinic for his monthly arthritis injection in the afternoon.  I gave him his sedative an hour before we had to leave and this time, daughter accompanied us as she had the day off from work.  She sat in the back seat with him in the carrier, petting him through the opening on the top of the carrier and that kept him calm during the journey both to the clinic and back.  There were no accidents or mishaps going or coming, which was lovely!  

After we came home, I made French toast for our brunch, vacuumed the bedrooms, and did a load of laundry.  

Later in the evening, M arrived to tend to the garden and he watered both the front garden and the back.  One of his other clients had given him some fruit and a freshly baked loaf of bread that was still warm from the oven; he shared some of the fruit (a guava, a dragon fruit, and a pomegranate) and half the loaf of bread with us, which was very generous of him.  

We had a very relaxed evening.  Daughter did some cross-stitching and played the piano, I watched some videos, the news, and a couple of the news programs I like to watch.  

For dinner, I heated some of the frozen parathas I had bought on Thursday and we had them with chicken curry.  I had chocolates for dessert; I don't think daughter had any dessert.

On Friday, I am grateful for:

- Access to vet care for Dancer
- Daughter was able to accompany us to the vet clinic and keep Dancer calm
- A drama free trip to the vet clinic and back
- M sharing what he received from another client and his help with the garden
- Working appliances

Friday's joyful activity was tending to the garden.

Oh, and the past couple of nights, we've had a new visitor to the back garden:

Meet Blossom!  I was going to call it Flower after the skunk in Bambi, but, I don't want to infringe on any copyrights!

Apparently, my backyard is an urban wildlife sanctuary!  Who knew?
