Backyard Color, the "Stone Circle" and Rose

Following are photos of the backyard on July 10. Moved the big stones around the firepit from farther back in the yard. The colors are coming on very nicely and make all the work seem most worthwhile. Much needed rain the last two days helped green everything up. Hello to all and do keep in touch with us.

Update on Rose, too. After ultrasound, CT scan, HIDA scan (gallbladder) and now an upper GI they still do not know what is causing her constant nausea, abdominal pain and recurring vomiting. It is getting her down physically and mentally. She has lost about 18 pounds so far and cannot plan to go anywhere except for a day when she seems to be feeling tolerable. The good news is they have ruled out ovarian cancer, diverticulitis, gallstones, stomach cancer, stomach blockage and ulcers. Next is a colonoscopy and gastric emptying scan (GES). Wish her well!
