I took the flowers over this past Sunday and set them in the beds. Went back on Tuesday and spent almost all day with some help from the activities aide, Cowboy, one of the wives and had lots of bystanders. Filled one raised bed with yellow mums, one with burgundy mums and one with a variety of greens like coleus, ivy, etc. A few of the marigolds are still with us and we pulled out everything that was about gone. It looks absolutely wonderful and everyone is very pleased with our project.
Next project I am going through a bunch of books that have lots of pictures for their bookcase. When I started going through them I found I have books I have not even opened in 30 years. I love books but it is time to weed it out.
Wednesday I washed my car, filled it up, got a pedicure, went to the grocery store and then came home and didn't do anything the rest of the day.
Back to the home today. It was an absolutely beautiful day with a light breeze and by 10AM practically everyone of the residents thatcan get around by any means were sitting on the patio. They brought juice and vanilla wafers for them Lovely relaxed morning. Cowboy walked around the area about 5 times. He is doing much better handling the walker and not shuffling his feet.
When I got there this morning he was in his room and I asked him what he was doing. He said they were almost finished with the painting. I asked "What painting?". He said, "My helmet". Had to be referring to a motorcyle helmet.
When we went outside he kept pointing to this same mum and telling me it had already grown a lot bigger. That isn't the case but he was so pleased we just agree and go on.
I will helping with the flu clinic in the morning, herding the folks through the lines from 8 to 11. Tomorrow night a friend and I are going to the symphony in Austin.
