Gloom without doom

Advanced Prostate Cancer, David Emerson, Down Under, test results, wbc -

OK, so you lovers of Fall, now what?

The leaves have all fallen and the gloominess of Fall/Winter has arrived in Kansas City
like a Mac truck! It was in the seventies last week, and now it’s been rainy for two days and
the temperatures are hovering around 40! Bah humbug!!
It looks like this weekend disc golf will make it’s annual return to the course in the woods, or “Down Under’ as it is called. Ignoring the comments of my first paragraph, I love it! I’ll snap a few photo’s and include in an upcoming post.

Mary just called with the results of yesterday’s blood test and bone scan.
Bone scan results – good news, no changes from the end of August!!
Blood Test – stay away from me! White and red blood cell counts now at an all time low!!!

With apologies to Fall

So as you know, I’m not a big fan of the Fall season.

While I do like a few things about this time of year, the fact that nature is preparing for the on set of Winter does not do too much to brighten my spirits.

However, the other morning I found two reasons to issue an apology to Fall. The pictures are not high quality, as I took them with my cell phone camera.

The first are the last three roses of the season. Mary and I grow a pretty mean rose. Several of the plants have reached heights of eight feet, and these are not climbers. Three roses, each from a different plant, each a different color. There’s that number three again…..hmmm?



The second is a picture of our Indian Summer Maple tree. I missed it’s peak by a day or two but I hope you see the source of it’s name. It truly is at it’s best during Indian Summer.


Tick, tick, tick…..what’s that? The sound of my heart racing as I wait for my monthly test results!
