Long day. On the road by 6:30 to St. Louis for three-month check up and scans. What should have been a shorter day was complicated by delays: new students were trailing the doctor, slowing her down; then, late getting into my second scan; finally in -- and it was scheduled incorrectly. Couldn't do a bone density after a CT. Bummer. Have to reschedule it.

Nevertheless -- the CT scan was good -- still holding strong! So next CT won't be for SIX months (this after a year and a half of monthly CTs and MRIs). Really good news (despite not getting home until 6 p.m. -- so walk after that)

Here's a damselfly -- though there's a couple of blue ones, so I don't know which one. Difference between damselflies and dragonflies apparently is the way they hold their wings. They are helpful insects, eating mosquitoes, among other things. This was  taken on our lower trail on a daylily leaf where they like to hang out. I see them there daily. www.cirrusimage.com/damselfly.htm
