Before the green apple blushes,
Before green nuts embrown,
Why, one day in the country
is worth a month in town.

Christina Rossetti


The cat bite
This morning I took Linda in to the doctor'office to have her "cat bite" examined again. Winslow bit her, accidentally on the back of the hand while she was reading and she reacted in an extreme way, swelling, fever and heat were the symptoms and they were pretty bad. We went in on Tuesday but had to go back this morning and still have to go back in the tomorrow as well. She is on a prescription and has had several shots. The hand and arm seem to be improving some what. The recovery seems slow so we continue to be concerned. We assume it was blood poisoning.

She is quite tired of all the problems she has had.
