Apple Annies





Yesterday I went to Apple Annies in Wilcox, Az with my neice and her family. We were not sure the weather would hold out as it is monsoon season and storms were threatening. But it held off and we had a good time. Pickes peaches, ate hamburger and fresh peach pie. The children are toooo cute. Ezra and Rylie. (see pics)

They dropped me off and I took a nap and then the storm hit, big time. There was lightening and thunder and lots of rain. I went to bed early and read for a while and listened to the rain. Woke up this am to the rain. It is so nice to be safe and warm when there is a storm outside.

I was going to paint some of the trim on the shed, but it is to wet. So, I'm defrosting the fridge and doing laundry. Yeh? :)

Ocular Migraine

Last week I was seeing a jagged, colored semi-circular light show. It lasted about 40 minutes, no pain. I didn't think anymore about it until yesterday. I happened again at work and I was very scared. I left work and went to the ER and they said I had an ocular migraine. I have an appt with an opthamologist Monday to get the diagnosis confirmed. Evidently it is a change in the blood flow to the area of the brain that is responsible for vision. Yahoo!!! just what I need.

Today I'm going to Apple Annie's in Wilcox with my niece and her family. I'm looking forward to spending time with them. More later on that. I am taking my camera for photos.

Monday I saw an opthamologist and he said I was "to old" to have had an olcular migraine. To Old!!! He thinks I had a small piece of plac from an artery going thru a very small vein in my brain. I like the diagnosis of ocular migraine better. So now on to a new Dr here in Benson. My current Dr is in Santa Fe and that is just to far away. more later.

New Paint Trim for Shed


I tested a new color for the trim for the shed. I really like it and don't think I will have to re-do the body of the shed. Just clean it up. Yeh!!!

I also bought the paint for the white iron on the little patio on the back. I just need to clean with the wire brushes and then paint. The plan is to do it in sections. That way it is not such a big job.

It has been very hot and humid lately. It was nice for a few days after the dryness and the fires, but now, enough is enough. I painted for about an hour and was dripping wet. Ugh!
