We are ready to entertain family and friends

Beautiful peonies at sunset

It may be damp, cool, and gray, but the garden brightens my day!

Clematis

Wisteria

Petunias

Geraniums

A new pink rose

New hostas

This is my new pond filter which I hope will keep the pond clean so that I can add some plants and fish.

What the endoscopy camera found

The camera I swallowed found small irregularities at the end of my small intestine. My doctor believes they are leaking blood vessels which have become fragile due to aging (hah!) and my long term use of the drug, coumadin, which is a blood thinner.

My doctor claims it is not bad news and he can cauterize them with a colonoscopy. I will schedule one tomorrow.

Ah, the beautiful clematis
