Sorry for the long absence. 2.28.18

Sorry for the long absence.  I suffered a retinal detatchment that required emergency surgery, followed by extended bedres and restricted activity.  Then Ning developed unstable coronary artery syndrome and required emergency coronary artery bypass (heart) surgery, and now needs 8 weeks of home care.  If it's not one thing it's another.

Charlie my closest companion for 17 years, the most loved dog in the world, died leaving me feeling unambitious about doing gardening.

• Assuming no new disasters, I anticipate new posts soon.
