Sorry I haven't been writing in a few days. Just so all that know who emailed me this last weekend, things are going very well. I do believe this has been the best weekend since my surgery 6 weeks ago. I think I walked the whole 40 acres of Dahlias this weekend!. The farm has been in operation for over 65 years, and the Gitts family has been operating the business for the last 41 years. We met Margaret Gitts last night and talked with some of our friends, from the farms around our house, for about an hour. It was right around 7:00pm and there was not a breeze to speak of. The temp was right around 80 deg and the sun was at the point were everything turns a soft gold color. The crickets were singing there songs and as the sun set in the west, there was a full Moon to take it's place in the east. As the moon rose above the horizon, it looked as if it was on fire. Just a huge ball of fire glowing in the dark. I must say, this was the nicest and best weekend I have had in a long time. Walking is getting better every day and the pain level just keeps going away. I hurt at night, but, it's because I am doing more during the day. Thank you all for your phone calls and emails. I am doing much better and the attitude is healing with the knee. Hope you all have a great week and enjoy the pics of the Dahlias and please, don't be jealous just because we over look the whole 40 acres and see nothing but a sea of lovely blooms all summer long!
