kidneys, flowers, and my son’s birthday

Apr 26, 2024

Most importantly, today is Ben’s birthday. He’s smart, funny, and the biggest asshole I know. The apple and the tree, I guess. 😉

happy birthday, Ben!

Mom is probably healthier than I am.

Mom’s kidney doctor said she’s great and he doesn’t need to see her for 6 months. We took our obligatory selfie and it’s worse than most. Neither of us are morning people… and the appointment was EARLY. FYI — I was laughing because Mom couldn’t get her eyes open.

After the doctor, we headed to some greenhouse place in a faraway land.

I voted for Home Depot but was outvoted. I wanted a peony — and saw them at the Depot — but the greenhouse we ended up at didn’t have a single one. Guess I shouldn’t complain because Mr. Pesky made sure I got the plants I wanted.

Mulch will be delivered later today and my rake is broken. Some of the flowers got in the ground yesterday but others haven’t made it yet. I’ll let you know if I live through this weekend once the real work starts.

Now you know: There are freshwater jellyfish in nearly every state in the USA and there have been since the early 1900s.
