I generally do not add anything here unless I feel it is something worth your valuable time to read. So my additions are generally not added on a weekly let alone daily basis. But of late I have been even slower about adding things, due to some health issues that have been plaguing me the past several months. Among them are medication side effects from various attempts of using one BP control medication after another until eventually we hit on something that both worked and did not make me very sick from the side effects. Another has been a persistent lung infection that has yet to clear up, but I am on round two of antibiotics and Prednisone for that, and I dearly hate taking prednesone. I have also been having a lot of chest pain and generally not felt well, and have had a great reduction in strength and stamina. After a few weeks of tests, it was discovered that I have a heart blockage in the upper part and need to go in this Wed. Aug the 17th after I see the lung specialist, to have a heart cathiderzation, (sp?)  Hopefully after that plus getting the lung infection cleared up I will be strong enough to cut firewood this fall. If not I really do not know what we shall do. Freeze I guess. We certaintly cannoy afford to buy wood nor can we hire someone to cut it  for us.
 But I as always shall place my faith in the powers that be that things will work out. They always do when you place your faith in the deities. Often not the way we would like, but well enough that you can get by.

As I write this, I have experienced yet another chest pain. I have them several times a day now. They are most annoying. But at least the pinched nerve in my lower back has eased up so I can sit down without pain, and even bend down to pet my dog and play frisbie with him. It really sucks being sick especially when the illness runs on for weeks into months into years. Life is pain and life is joy, and we should never take it for granted. Each day I discover and marvel upon the wonders I see around me and shake my head at the folly of human kind. The pettiness and greed and sophomoric behavior many seem to display. And then I am amazed yet again by the caring rush of strangers to help out someone they have never even met in the time of dire need. We are indeed a complex and complicated species.

Blessings one and all!
