Village Stroll

Published by at 9:05 am under Country Life

The latest news on A is that she is improving slowly. “Improving” in this case means “still breathing on a ventilator, 102 degree fever, and still sedated”, but at least she is off dialysis. C says she still doesn’t recognize him through all the drugs, but is hopeful that she will be able to breathe on her own soon. It’s A’s 16th day in the ICU. It still seems kind of surreal to me. I’ll keep you posted on A’s progress.

Back here in Hooterville, the spectacular weather remains in full force. The nights are cold and starry, and the moonlight, especially when the moon was full, is like a floodlight, bathing the black woods in a silver glow. The days are sunny and warm up into the 60s from the morning’s 30s. What’s not to love?

Megan met a fellow Daisy Davis volunteer in the village a couple of days ago. While they were meeting, I went for a stroll around the village. Come with me and have a look around.

This house looks kind of secret:

I like the shadow on this one:

Red and green aren’t only for Christmas:

I think we know who was here first:

Little yellow flowers by a white picket fence:

At Dr. Karen’s:

These look like little torches to me:

I love this flowering tree:

And here’s a close-up:

    What a fantastic area you live in…the flowers are marvellous – Is that a hibiscus tree? Quite a magical place. And what walks you have available to you! You are sooo lucky.

    Wow, that’s really cold! Stay warm!

    Unfortunately, I don’t know what any of the flowers are called. I’ll have to ask around. But they sure are pretty!
