How the garden looks now at the Hereford house
Things are coming along at my step son and his wife's garden at their new house. I planted nasturtium seeds and transplanted plants from my own garden. There were gazanias and african daisies already there. It is a fun work in progress.

Jonathan and Dasha get the key to their new house today.
Just a short walk from our house, we could not be more pleased. Lots of work to do in bringing it up to date, both Doug and I will be helping. It will be interesting to see how long it will take before J and D can move from our house to their new house.

Since I came back from New York
I am thinking about my twin in England who lost her partner of 35 years and his funeral is next week. He passed away suddenly at age 72 from a heart attack while shearing his sheep.
Dasha and Jonathan are looking at houses for sale, but there are so few on the market in their price range. So more time spent living with us is in order, We had plumbing problems with Jonathan's son causing his toilet in our front bedroom to overflow several times.( he is staying with us for the summer) The final time we had a lake of water a quarter of the way into the bedroom which is carpeted. It took two days with fans and heat to dry out and now of course smells. A new toilet was purchased, one that advertises that it can flush golf balls.
Dasha had the courage to get on her horse and ride him. Doug had been riding him for her for the past two years. So we are very pleased that she is enthusiastic and going out almost every evening to ride after work. She herself began riding as a beginner with us just before she got Tandy her horse, and was riding my usual ride Coco all this time.
