I Wonder.

Our apple trees are heavy with fruit this year. We've never gotten particularly good apples from them but they do look tempting this year. We shall see. I'm never quite sure when to pick them.... Any advice?

I realized when I took this picture that I haven't been taking as many pictures in the yard as I am normally wont to do. I thought about it and realized that it's because it hurts too much to bend down unless I have to. I hate to admit that but it's true.

I can't say my last cortisone shot did a damn thing for the pain from my spinal stenosis. I go back to the doctor next week. If anything my back has gotten worse. I tried to walk a couple of blocks the other day and I had to stop and sit down twice. So much for long walks on the beach in Maine. If I take a couple of tramadols and dose myself up with ibuprofen it helps a bit but the tramadol leaves me a bit sleepy which is miserable, particularly when I am at work.

Summer seems to be flying away. Fourth of July this week, then Sherry Rich house concert on the 18th, off to Maine, register the guys for middle school, the Jans Project house concert at the end of August and school starts. Whew. Please make it slow down!

And I gotta say sometimes I wonder what goes on in my house while I am gone. Yesterday morning we were out of toilet paper so there was a roll of paper towel sitting in the bathroom. Lovely, I know. So I get home after work and toilet paper has been purchased but the roll is almost empty.

Sometimes I wonder, I just wonder.
