One more night in the clouds

We, especially Cathy, have spent the better part of the last couple of days outside gardening. I mostly have been watching while Cathy does the hard stuff. We actually had a lot of cleanup work from the storms that have been blowing through over the last few months. The property really cleans up well and the view with a cool breeze blowing is really very settling. The tree and pond frogs are very active in the early evening and into the night. Some are very high pitched chirping while the larger frogs sound like a bunch of old men mumbling to each other. We drove to the top of our mountain before dinner where there is a huge series of meadows with walking trails. All of the meadows are planted with hundreds of different types of wildflowers. They are just now starting to bloom. By mid summer the colors are incredible and when you walk by them the fields are literally buzzing with honey bees. I hope we do not have a decrease in our bee population. It's all very intoxicating.
We have to leave tomorrow but decided we are going to make sure we get up here as often as we can during "the chemo period". I really am ready to get this process started. I am not very good with the anticipation part. Anyway, here is to one more night in the clouds.
