I actually slept in yesterday morning, and it felt so good. I called Margi around noon to check on her. I didn't want to go into town if they had sent her home. They were taking her in for a cat scan. Poor thing had three of them yesterday. They don't know why her white cell count is so high, so they are trying to eliminate what is not causing it. I took some shampoo and conditioner with me and washed her hair for her. I can't stand it if I don't wash mine for two days, she has gone almost two weeks. It was tricky, it wore her out, but she is beautiful again.

Sonny fried shrimp for dinner as I worked on some flowers for the Cruz wedding. These are not for the wedding party, I'm not real clear who they are for. But they turned out nice, they are in the pink and brown colors of the wedding invitations. Oh, the shrimp were fantastic. It's almost shrimping season again. I can't wait to get out there and net some more this year. I froze at least 15 quarts of shrimp last year.

My gardenia is in full bloom. This bush is a monster, it's at least 12 ft. tall and 8 ft. around. I am standing on the back stoop and I have to hold the camera over my head to get this angle. My African Iris has bloomed more than it ever has this year too. They are slowing down now, but there has been anywhere from 7 - 12 blooms open along the sidewalk at a time.
