Seemed like summer today. I am not quite ready to call it
“Too Hot” but close.

Need to remember to put the flag out tomorrow. President Trump is making May senior citizens month. My governor wants us to stay home and wear a mask.

Hai Kathy! (((HUGS))) - tomorrow (Fri) we’ll have written and oral exams plus some more time in the box. Highest scores will crew up with others and retrieve five planes. I’m confident. I think. Maybe. Ummmm ....

I have had a very difficult day. My next-door neighbor died and the whole HAZMAT Team was here, with several emergency vehicles, tyvek suits, face shields...the works. Her husband had to be taken away in an ambulance, poor guy.

It seems that she aspirated and died from that, no coronavirus involved, but of course the protocols had to be followed.

She was a retired Biker, dear friend, and we did gardening together. The whole family is devastated.

I have some deep sadness tonight. (sigh)

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and you and Penny and Blue still grounded? Hope you’ve been able to get out at least a little.

Supposed to rain today, but so far only about 50 drops.

Rest in Peace ML's neighbor. Prayers of peace and healing for all of you.


Abide With Me

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.

Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word,
But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.

Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings;
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea.
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Good evening mountainlion ((HUGS))

I think we'll get a touch of the summer temps this weekend. Just hope it helps dry up some of the rain we had all day.

I hadn't heard about May being senior citizens month.

My governor wants us to stay home and wear a mask

Mine too. We do have mandatory mask use when in public.

Thank you so much for your kindness and your prayers.

Last year, I had shared a bag of garden bulbs with Cora and we planted them together. They all are coming up right now. Bulbs come up every year so I will have an annual reminder of her.

(I have to say the Emergency people were here for hours and they were wonderful and kind...even if they were dressed like space aliens. It was very surreal)

Yay! Glad I got here in time. I got distracted watching planes land at the airport in Anchorage and lost track of time.

All’s well as it can be here, I reckon. Better than other places since we have a little more freedom of movement.
Decent weather today and the next few days will be gorgeous.

I hope things are going well up your way.

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Do you have your thoughts in order for your new mixer? What state will it go to?
