Our blueberry bush does very well here. :-)<br />Katie's leg is doing better. She still has some tenderness around her knee...we may have to take her to the doctor if that doesn't go away. I know sometimes those injuries can take a while to heal.<br />My parents live in the mountains of Virginia. They still live in the same house I grew up in, and my friends and I used to run all over those woods and never once met up with a bear! I'm not sure why the bears have come in to the neighborhood like that, but it is somewhat unsettling! Yikes, I wouldn't want cougars either! <br />Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you have a great week! :-)Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781522902442021512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228735675928501755.post-1119586919896711832015-10-25T21:50:00.555-04:002015-10-25T21:50:00.555-04:00I'm sorry to hear that your lilac bush died. ...I'm sorry to hear that your lilac bush died. I didn't know they disliked low areas where it didn't drain. I saw them growing in at least one area like that in Michigan. Maybe it was more well-drained than I thought. Blueberries ought to be very happy there, though. :-) They like it damp as far as I know.<br /><br />It sounds like you had a good summer. It is really a blessing Katie didn't break her leg! That would have made her trip home so difficult.<br /><br />Where do your parents live that there are so many bears?? We had them in the mountains in Arizona, and there were a few in Tennessee. Here we've heard reports of cougars in the area.Mary E.

It's hard to believe how quickly summer seemed to go by!<br />Katie is doing a lot better, though she still has some numbness around her kneecap and it's a little swollen. We may end up taking her to the doctor for that to see if there's something wrong. <br />I hope you and your family are all doing well. I am so glad Fall is here.♥ Take care.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09781522902442021512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228735675928501755.post-25244665126840575172015-10-08T10:21:07.383-04:002015-10-08T10:21:07.383-04:00I loved reading about your visit to your Mom and D...I loved reading about your visit to your Mom and Dad's house.
