         The tall man removes the old food containers from the kitchen cupboards. Some of the cans and bottles are decades old. He bursts out laughing when he finds particularly disgusting looking jars of old food. I am ashamed of neglecting my kitchen and can’t stop laughing with him. I have lived in this house for 50 years. I create stories to justify my neglect.

My artist friend spends hours working in the garden.  The plants and trees are happy now.

         We  watch two episodes of season two of THE BEAR on hulu. A great show. We want to stretch it out as long as possible.  Only 10 half hour episodes.

         Another warm day.  In the afternoon I sit in the shade of the bottle bush trees reading the last of the Hillerman book.
