Hey all! It’s been a while since I’ve posted here although I’ve checked in almost everyday to see what folks were doing.
When I left I was still looking for a medicine that would hold the line against my glaucoma. Well, I found one. I’ve been taking pilocarpine drops for several months now and they’ve worked well with only slight side effects. I have to eat something before I put the drop in in the morning. Weird, but at least it’s working. So with that and Lumigan at  night, things are holding steady with the eyes,
I’ve been working on building up the inventory still. DH is kind of on board but not all the way so I’m pussyfooting around, getting things done. I have a good friend in another state who has Usher Syndrome, and we’ve been looking at ways to communicate once her hearing goes. We think HAM radio Morse code will fit the bill. She could feel the dots and sashes against her skin if she used a key, and that way we could communicate. So we both are looking into that. Fingers are crossed that it works!
Garden was odd. So much promise and so little to show for it. I may need a hive just to pollinate everything. We had lots of bees in early spring but I haven’t seen one in the last month– and the squash and watermelon show it. They bloom but don’t produce. Oh well…
