Blogless in Carolina

Simple Friday morning update:

There's been a yellow jacket nest in the front lawn,
resulting in an unmowed patch of grass
and an epic battle involving nasty chemical sprays.

No one has been stung, to my knowledge,
but the first evening we stood and watched
over 100 little wasps fly into their hole. Yikes.

The vegetables in the garden are winding down production
at the end of the summer. It was a great tomato year,
unlike the previous two cool, rainy summers.

The avacado pit I pictured weeks ago
sprouted,
sent down large roots into the glass jar,
sent broad green leaves into the air.

Work is going well.
Continuing to have mundane and profound visits
with people at home and in nursing homes.
Sometimes funny, sometimes sad,
sometimes I'm the only person even partially awake
during the visit.

It has been kind of a sleepy week.

Looking forward to weekend time at home.
