Stunner of an Afternoon

I spent much of the day with my mom. After all of our machinations around moving her, I think we've come to the conclusion that she's actually declining and that a move would be dreadful for her. So there's that. She slept most of the time we were there, but I did make her a half a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch (with tomato) and we were able to go for a walk around the grounds. Well, I pushed, she rode ;-)

I spent the rest of the afternoon with a friend who's volunteering for the botanical garden...and then her husband made us Grougeres (Cheese Puffs) and poured us a glass of rose, and the rest of the afternoon was delightfully spent. I went over to her house to teach her how to use our Google Drive folder, which we spent at least 15 minutes doing. I ate so many of his delightful cheese puffs that I am not hungry for dinner at all. I came away with a large bagful of cucumbers (to make pickles with), a very long Tromboncino Zucchini (I'll need to be clever) and a handful of figs. And of course a full belly. Not a bad way to spend the afternoon.

A quick wander in the garden found the sunflowers just glowing in the sun. We're expecting rain this weekend, so I think that the sunflowers may have to be cut....some are so tall they're leaning over with the weight of the heads...I suspect the rain will do them in.
