rain

Long-weekend approaching, will most likely go back up to the Island to see my dad. Spoke to my mom and she said that he finally seems to be improving, he can hold a paper coffee cup and drink from it, though does not have enough motor control and so continues to not be able to feed himself. Been on his back, in that bed for over two weeks now. If he can turn and look to the window, he would see a vine maple beginning to change color. Further out across the parking lot is a farm with horses, sheep and goats. And last time I visited, there were deer, a doe and at least one fawn. But he can't see that yet. He had a dream that he walked down the hall, and in the morning, argued with the nursing aide that he could walk and wanted to walk. Of course he doesn't have the muscle strength yet, but at least he believes he is getting better, and he is. It's just slow.

Here, it's pouring, I can see it on the inner window, I think the outer one is coming loose. Need to call the landlord.
