This is the longest I have gone without posting in the four years that I have been tending to this blog. It seems very strange = here is my story. Of course, I am still doing the executive transition project - it is nearly done, the new CEO begins September 21! I shall be released! The work has been crazy-making and one of the most profound blessings in my entire consulting career.
My friend V was here for a month and we had a lovely time. He has decided to relocate here from Seattle and will return in October - much more about that to come. :=)
My best friend J arrived on August 23 - a few hours after getting here, she slipped, fell and broke her wrist in 4 places. She had surgery on August 27 and has been staying with me to recuperate. It has been a very trying time for her = painful and filled with tons of heavy duty pills, therapy and rest. She is healing nicely though and the rehab therapist tells us that she is going to have a complete recovery of the use of her wrist and hand.
Yesterday was the Farmers Market and as you can see from the photos, I put up ginger peach jam. I made pesto for the freezer (and our tummies last night). Downstairs is 60 pounds of tomatoes awaiting the canner later today, which I will tackle after I go to my personal trainer for a Pilates session this morning.
J has her follow-up session with her surgeon on Tuesday and is departing for home on Wednesday. Twelve days later we welcome the new Executive to the beloved organization. Once she is on board - I will have plenty of spare time.
Even though I haven't been posting, I have done my best to drop by my dear blog buddies' sites. I hope you are still dropping by here for a visit and I promise that I am truly back on the planet.
As summer turns her face towards Autumn I hope you are enjoying these waning days of warmth and the bounty of the harvest. The journey continues....... Namaste
Sounds like you have had a fruitful summer. I have also. I always hate to see it go, but it helps when a lot of great memories are left behind.
ReplyDeleteall exciting news! so sorry you are not the one relocating. i can't imagine giving up the beautiful NW for all that snow and those freezing winter temps. sounds like there might be a love interest in the equation which makes such a move worth it!
ReplyDeletejust think - if you moved here instead you could plant your perennials and lilies in the ground instead of in pots and drive 45 min east for all the snow you want instead of opening your door to it! ;))
