This and That

Three people on my street are dealing with cancer. One just finished chemo. One neighbor is on it. One begins chemo next week, and he's elderly, 88yo.
I roast chickens for them, and the 88yo neighbor gifted a lovely candle holder in thanks. It's a burl wood knot he found in the forest, and it's lovely.
I took a container of carrot ginger soup to them, and received a tour of the woodworking shop, which was amazing. He also loves to work in stone, and we connected on a creative level.
They understand inflammation, and appreciate the soups as chemo approaches..... I brought 2 more containers, Broccoli and kale chicken soup, along with food list for more and less choices.
These are post op days, and he's doing really well. I'm happy to plan projects with them. Nice.

I'm re reading your post on installing a stone path, Amber. Maybe soon I can tackle it.

You must have milder weather than I do, Lighter. We're solidly in the "clean up & put the gardens to bed" season here now. IF my buildings arrive next week, then I need to begin thinking about food garden design... fence... paths... etc.
I also need to get with my hunters and see about harvesting some of the dead ash trees on the new property. Wood is a year-round chore around here.

Youngest DD15 finally has her first crush, and he's adorable. So nice. Very dear to her, and Uber kind, which she's been commenting on for weeks.
He sent her an unexpected message this afternoon. She responded....she likes him too.
Now she's waiting to hear back, but he's uninstalled his Instagram account out of nerves. Something he said he intended to do in his anxiety over her not feeling the same way perhaps. They're both very......humble.
I'm struck by the different advice my mother gave me when I was that age, and the advice coming out of my mouth.
This is such a happy time for DD 15: )

You are a Good Neighbor, Lighter.
Happy for your DD15 and hope it goes harmlessly!
