Branches and Breakfast and an Update

I know.
This isn't a "food blog".

But this is a PRETTY quiche!


(Just pulled it out of the oven)
It's hard to take a pretty picture
of food with my phone and 
the oven hood light.

(see note above; NOT a food blog... lol)

We had a good weekend.

Kyle spent a day trimming all the giant
oak trees in the front yard.
There are... um ... several.
LOL

They have gotten so big and their branches
sweep the ground in lots of places.
Really pretty.
But a pain in the neck when you are
trying to mow.
Or move the horses.
Or anything else.

(And being hurricane season, we
should really keep them trimmed up 
at least a bit...)

He did a GREAT job.
I didn't take a picture.

I DID, however, take a picture
of the giant pile of trimmings!


(This was the next morning...)


I drove the first load of bougainvillea out there
but the rest of the loads required backing
and maneuvering
and actual driving skills. 
So I let the pro take over.


He's GOOD!

While we were working out there,
SpaceX shot off a rocket.


We've really missed those!
Not nearly as big as a shuttle,
but space is space, right?


One of the benefits of living on the 
Space Coast.


It was a nice break from all the rain
we've been having for the last
couple of weeks.

Meanwhile...

Rod is on his way home from the hospital.

They took George off the ventilator today.
He has pneumonia in all four quadrants
of his lungs.
He is breathing on his own,
but it's pretty shallow.

They are keeping him comfortable with
pain medicine and antibiotics for the infection,
but we aren't going to do any more
invasive treatments.

If you wouldn't mind keeping our family
in your prayers as we cross this final bridge.
