Living
with Jim and Gayle
April, 2026
Our yard was overgrown.
We bought a weed burner to clear the path next to us (it belongs to the golf course but they don't maintain it so we do).
The crazy killdeer are back. They drive Bo nuts with all their flopping around. If we had been home before they laid their eggs, I would have discouraged them but since the eggs were already there, we just put up with them.
Jim took advantage of a rainy day to clean the back deck of its winter dirt.
Jim's scheduled to have hand surgery next month to straigthen his little finger and fix his middle finger's trigger finger.
Last fall we canned some blistered tomato pasta sauce. This was our first time to try it. It was great.
Jim hurt his back doing the yard work so was laid up for about a week. He was bad enough that he made an appointment with a spine doctor. By the time he got in, his back was feeling much better so nothing was done.
I still have aching calf muscles and get winded easily. I have a lung function test next month.
Bo has not had a seizure this month.
Bo got a new toy, "Sheep".
