My garden is not quite as full as yours(not by a longshot), but I do have veggies appearing. Zuchs, yellow squash are both producing now, stringbeans to be picked for tonight's dinner, and would you believe it - the peas are just now producing and will have some by the weekend. Tomatoes are coming on strong - three are squash ball size. Lots of cukes appearing on the vines and the sugar baby watermelons are tiny little ball as are the cantalopes. Keep having to add straw to the potatoes in the bushel baskets. Most of the veggies are being grown in a raised bed 12'X4", 12"deep on one end and 6" deep on the other. Very intensive plantings where the beans and cukes are crawling all over the tomatoes and each other! Loved your ramble! I still have baby hemlock trees for you when you are ready! thanks Gloria! Keep those babies nurturing, not sure where Faerie Holler will be or not be by fall........when's supper? gbseg of course, the drops begin tomorrow and surgery is Monday with four days of DON'T DO ANYTHING expressed to me by doctor and over protective son....love you more |

... I have cataracts in both eyes, diagnosed only two weeks ago but during the stressful weeks prior, was at angst to wonder why my right vision was so horrible and so quick to deteriorate, and then the left one shortly afterwards. The diagnosis came at the pinnacle of personal turmoil and wonders still unfolding and unfurling,and it all combined to overwhelm me, and in the midst of all THAT, we were locked in a drought that has still left us staggering with deficiencies of moisture in the minus 9 inch marks...... Before I hear the tender love from those who have suffered and cured this malady, friends who commiserate and still love me and are concerned, those who miss me and just want confirmations that I AM alright... let me assure you that squire has insurance that will snip these buggers out and leave me only needing prescription reading glasses of corrective natures with transitional lenses to protect my orbs from the sun's damage. June 25th, the worst culprit, the right cataract, comes out and I will be pressed to sit and listen...... and not lift more than a fart and not bend from my waist and heal and hope I'm not the one in one hundred who go blind or hemorrhage or suffer detached retina's but do just fine, which I am not worried in the least. You get what you're dealt. I got the luck of the draw with luckily having the kind of buggers that grow extremely fast. In two weeks, I can't barely see to drive at night, so I don't, the glare of sunlight causes me to not be able to identify wild flowers, and I have two trolls sitting on my eyeballs causing me distractions that I don't want or need right now with all the other drama's in my sordid and blessed life at the moment. July 10th the left eye gets taken care of and after that, a new appreciation for things that I never took for granted in the first place but will possibly be insufferable once I do heal and share with you all......and then I will be seeking employment again, and have less time to appreciate the ongoing wonders of Faerie Holler, but I will find the time and there will be more things yet to come...... I had the cataract removed from my right eye on February 28th and the left eye on March 6th. The eye doctor put in corrective lenses and now I only need glasses to read. I was off work 3 weeks after the second eye was done and everything has gone well since. I was wide awake during both procedures, that was very weird but painless. I'm sure your experience will be similar. Take it easy. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington |

Travis, for some reason I thought they had a mirror thing I could watch the
surgery on? Made me nuts trying to figure what came next thru the plastic screen they taped over the eye. -- "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, Starbucks in the other, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO. what a ride!"

Hope the ops go well, and for all those of you with cataract problems, be thankful that it can be remedied, unlike Macular Degeneration, which I have which sticks its claws in and won't let go!

I did not have anything taped over my eye. He did use some wire thing to keep my eye lid open and lots of a very viscous numbing agent. I did have to wear a protective patch over my eye for the first night to prevent my rubbing my eye during sleep. I did watch my colonoscopy on the monitor. -- Travis in Shoreline Washington |
