The wind is gusting through the trees. The fog is hovering close, not quite ready to descend down the hill. I watch the altar candle flame dance around as the wind comes in through the open windows.
Quiet day as I do my daily tasks.
Am going to bed early again tonight.

My sun flowers in the front yard are blooming.
I'm eating the garden lettuce and sugar peas. The nasturtiums are out running the deer bites, just barely.
the little pips are jumping from tree limb to tree limb.
I have finally gone through my week's supply of mail.
Now I have to pay bills.
I am glad to be alive.

Flying into LA I saw many golf courses. I wonder which one my brother played on. The vibrant green of the links were in contrast to the dry hills and desert. Flying so high I couldn't actually see golfers or cars, just the green grass and the blue of swimming pools in back yards.
I am glad to be home.

Came home from my afternoon walk and there were two at&t trucks at my telephone pole. One man was in the basket at the top of the pole. I asked the man on the street if he could tighten the low lying telephone line coming to my house. He said I would have to call 611. I said that I have many times but I can't get through to a human since my phone seems to be working. He said I have to keep pushing the buttons.
I felt so hopeless, Look this line is dangerous to the little boys in the neighborhood. He looked at the drooping line and then yelled up to the guy in the basket. Hey, tighten the telephone line and he pulled something and the line was tightened. ten seconds max.
I wanted to kiss him.

I drove to Santa Cruz this morning to a meeting that I suspected would be difficult. Couldn't decide what to listen, my anxious thoughts, a radio report on rioting in Tehran, Leonard Cohen songs on a cd. The cd won and I sang along.
I didn't sing on the way home, just kept my mind on driving feeling a bit hopeless. I could hardly see the blue sea sparkling in the gorgeous sun.

Went to get my hair cut at super cuts. Not many people there. The hair cutter said business was real slow and her hours were cut back. Everything is a struggle.
She asked me how long since the last hair cut. I said three months. You should get it cut every four to six weeks. We need the business and you need the cut.
I said I would think about it.

Shopping at
whole Foods I tripped on the wheel of the cart and went down with a bang on the cement floor. It took me a few minutes to see that I was not hurt.
People kept saying are you hurt, are you hurt. At first I did not know. I am sore and bruised and fine. Nothing broken.
I guess the weekly gallon of milk and the extra padding on my body helped. It's scary to get old.

the rain did not come in spite of the forecast. While watering the newly planted fruit trees a young blue jay jumped into the spray, drinking from the puddles.
Finally on a oak tree branch he shook out his wet feathers.
In the background was the sounds of the graduation crowd as the new high school graduates went through their ceremonies.
Maybe the graduates would like to run through the sprinklers at my house.

the flowering horse chestnut trees were every where on the Carmel Valley road this morning. Long sprays of white blossoms filled the trees.
And then when I returned to the ocean there was a calm that created a blue gray mirror surface on the water.
Now the afternoon the wind has picked up shattering the ocean's mirror.

My tomato plants don't look so good. Even when I water them. there are yellow flowers but the leaves have lots of black spots. The lettuce is great. We just look at them grow and wonder when is the time to harvest and eat them.
Balmy day, I had to water the whole garden as the plants began to curl up and demand water.

During my two hours at the hospital this morning, walking through the long halls connecting the different places I suddenly saw how to get from one place to another without having to return to the office.
My mental mind map layed down some new lines and finally I could see how the hospital walk ways were actually connected.
They have been moving walls and changing the place for so long but now it is beginning to make sense.
