Ninth grade English...I do miss those days. I miss teaching that story. Isn't that a first line just amazing? Also, you are right, the story is a very powerful one. I think I will have to read it again. It seems the story mentions cicadas. Am I right?<br /><br />Doesn't that groundhog know he is just supposed to disappear and only come to life in February. I've never had to deal with such creatures. It does not sound like fun to do so. <br /><br />Wish I could make the party. Glad you are coming along so well with the healing.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8419139030012374765.post-25041567529665700812013-09-07T19:09:05.129-04:002013-09-07T19:09:05.129-04:00That's not a wine and cheese but over doing. ...That's not a wine and cheese but over doing. Oh dear. Is he putting it all together? And a groundhog. What do they eat, I wonder? I over did and am recovering. Doc on Monday. You just keep up the gentleness.

His response: "It's not bothering me that much." I give up. Women are SO much better at taking care of themselves than men. <br /><br />A few weeks ago, swallowtails by the dozens were visiting our Joe Pye weed. Then, suddenly, they were gone. Fall is on the way.

Thank goodness. they were "mining" the lawn, and undermining a lot of plants.<br />I'm glad you are making progress with your rehab. Being "normal" sounds so wonderful when you're not.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.com
