Quiet

Finally.  The house is quiet.  Grandson is asleep.  Partner is asleep.  Only
Daisycat and I remain awake.  I think both of us crave the quiet.  I know
my partner craves the quiet also.  It isn't as though we do not enjoy one
another's company; we both have very busy minds.  I pursue my interests,
and he, his.  Speaking of his:  he has received all the worms-200 red
wigglers and 500 Europeans--and has them all set up in their new homes.
Compost and worm tea here we come!

Speaking of changes, all the walking he has done has really paid off.  He
has lost weight and his blood pressure is 114/72.  He power walks 3 miles
5 days out of 7.  This has made an amazing difference.  It's my turn now.
The treadmill is set up and ready to go.  I may start tonight--if not, first thing
in the morning. 

Frankie and the birds are doing well.  The back has had its late fall clean-up.
We only have the front yard to go. 

I have a bonsai ficus tree that I may have killed.  I really hope not.  It was dying
back at the end of the fall when I brought it in.  Apparently, I haven't watered it
enough.  I have been watching it.  Tomorrow I turn it over to my partner--
he is a genius with green growing things.

All for tonight.
