The town of Strasburg had some excitement last night. There was an explosion at the milk plant that tore a huge hole in a masonry wall. Apparently it was caused by ammonia-based refrigerant. The main road through town had to be closed all day and traffic had to detour.
On a more positive note, I stopped at the garden in the park and admired the flowers.
This has been a tiring week. I had to get up early for medical appointments. After Frank's cataract surgery on Monday, he could not safely drive so I drove him to his follow-up at 8 AM on Tuesday plus an unplanned follow-up on Wednesday and two different appointments on Thursday and Friday. In addition, I had two physical therapy sessions that left me fatigued.
I found time to go to a committee meeting in Woodstock for the Friends of Seven Bends State Park and drove down to the river there.

After Frank's appointment on Wednesday, we stopped at a steakhouse. It had been a week since I gave up beef to test the diagnosis of mild beef allergy, so I was ready to try it again. I ate a tasty steak and my only symptom was a bit of indigestion, so I conclude that I can eat beef occasionally without severe consequences.
I'm not a fan of those photos showing what you're eating for dinner so I took a simple image with my phone.

Have a good weekend!
Brilliant sky shot.
ReplyDeleteJust reading about your week leaves me exhausted!
ReplyDeleteLove the shot of your fork.
I think some people spend more time photographing their dinner than eating it!
ReplyDeleteHah, I always firget to photograph my lunches & dinners, because they are not that important to me 😃 Stunning sky shot. Hope your next week is not that busy.
ReplyDeleteThat cloud pattern looks like a phoenix rising.
ReplyDeleteSorry you had so much time that left you tired, and glad that you could eat the occasional steak. I liked the river scene, and am reminded of the red tide which has western FL in a bind at their highest tourist season...lots of dead fish floating along the shore.
ReplyDelete...beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteGreat sky photo.
ReplyDeleteAlgae mats are a bummer.
I hate ammonia refrigeration systems. Lots less energy cost to run than propane or freon but wow when something goes wrong and you have ammonia in the air...
Yes. A family living nearby had to evacuate.
DeleteGreetings and Salutations! I too have been taking physical therapy. It was exhausting. I know that feeling. That last photograph is top notch! What a find. Enjoy the week-end.
ReplyDeleteFishing off the bridge looks relaxing. Beautiful sky shot at the end of your post. "Explosion" and "milk plant" don't seem like they go together. Hope everyone was safe!
ReplyDeleteWow ! Beautiful flowers , loved the colorful zinnias . Thanks for sharing with Garden Affair.
ReplyDeletenice post, I love the cloud at the end. When I turned my head a little it became a horse :)
