So sorry your husband isn't well. It's nice that he has someplace to walk to and to do something besides sit around and think. We are surprised by a couple of red tomatoes, too. We never expect any before the 4th of July.... that's our goal but this year it's a week early. I guess the weather has been a bit unusual all over the country. Now that I think of it, "unusual" is quite an under statement, isn't it? This year has been absolutely WILD! ! ! ! We were lucky I think because we were only dry.... and I do mean dry. No doubt you have heard that the SanFrancisco area and Northern California has had over a thousand fires and we don't really have that many firefighters. So it has been a mess. Nothing burning close to us but the smoke has fouled the air so much that the state put out a "Hazardous Air Quality" warning for anyone with even a slight respiratory ailment. They beg people to take m****transit and leave their cars in the garage. I guess the commuters are taking it seriously because the traffic count is way down and the transit patronage is way up. Good for them.
Didn't mean to go on so long. I have a tendency to do that some times. Sorry.
Best regards to you and your husband. Nan
