21 December

I should be getting excited about Christmas but all that is in my mind are my tests starting January 6th. I guess all cancer survivors probably suffer the same insecurities when facing the annual tests to see if its reared its ugly little head somewhere else.

On the home front, I feel great and Im trying to put in a lot of effort into our gardens before winter comes. Today we cut most of the lawns, but over the Christmas break we're putting in gardens. A little tropical spot outside the back porch, and hope to be building some avairies in the back yard.
We need the avairies not only to house some of our birds but Im hoping they will help shelter the yard from the horrendous winds we suffer here.

The day after Christmas day we are heading out berry picking, not sure what type of berries yet, or how much but it will be nice to have fresh berries to cook for jam, pies etc...we really do need another freezer.
