Too soon with the conclusion, balls, and sprinkles that might kill you.

Now we know, as the fruit ripens, what they are- delicious! The purple balls are "Indigo Rose tomatoes".  They are juicy, not as sweet as cherry tomatoes and have a distinct savory herbal taste- like how the vines smell. Anyway I am sold, I ate three in a sandwich just now. Fabulous. sometimes mistakes are nice surprises- sometimes the opposite.

A mistake was made by the helicopter technician when he said , looks like you are normal.  Clinic just phoned. Severe apnea is 32...I am at 46!!!  Holy cow, I mean I knew that I had no energy and that I could not breathe and that I rattled the house to the ground but 46 is nearly gasping from the grave!

So, yes I will be getting a machine and I may live another lifetime of breathing at night. Second lease, we will call it. 

This is another millet grass that planted itself from the bird seed we leave out for bird dinners. It is very pretty and I am sure the birds will love it in their salad. We used to eat millet instead of rice when we were working the trails. Easier to cook on a small fire, add a little Willow Run and sunflower seeds and call it a hearty meal. Worked for us, as we blazed through the mountains with machetes to clear paths for sneaker wearing tourist hikers. We covered about ten miles a day.

The green tomato is just getting started- only has a few more days of summer to accomplish it's mission... and the round squash is a  zucchini  called an eight ball. Great for stuffing, says Mr. Google in the kitchen. There is only one on the entire bush, all of the flowers were male, large and beautiful but ...wasted energy. 

These are balls in the yard, left over from a birthday party. There were many but these two got stuck in the bushes , and so they remain, wondering where the others went.

 I was going through My mother's bag of stuff , trying to remember when she died-  she had sleep apnea , un-diagnosed, un treated, her heart gave out at age 80.

These are our driver's licenses  at the same age of 77.  Driver's license photos are always criminal  looking but my mother wore lipstick and ear rings just to take the trash out., so her photos were always sweet.  I had just blown in from a winter storm, not expecting to have to remove my glasses and my stocking hat- but there you go *click* , thank you, pay the fee...That was a year ago before my eyes started acting crazy. I rather doubt that I would pass the eye test now but I am not going to tell that to anyone....

Anyway, it does not seem possible that my Mom died  in 1996, first day of spring! What seems like a fresh yesterday is an entire lifetime  ago for some- the years, they do fly!

Finally, just for your entertainment- The ice cream museum in Manhattan opened a new sprinkles pit. As you can see it is illusion to look like a pool but also , as you can see is very shallow. Some guy is suing the museum because he dove in and broke his ankle and hurt himself. suing for hurt ankle, emotional distress, loss of work and permanent damage.

He claimed the museum was negligent and misleading because an ad said "Dive right in".
