Back from the dentist and am amazed at modern technology!  The crown was made right there!  After the long process of polishing the tooth that needed a crown after that saving of the broken one that had to have root canals first - awful process, but well done.  The tooth was captured on the computer program which then gave the information to the one that made the crown.  Right while I was waiting!  Once in place an impression was made for a new defense against bruxism which will be delivered to me by courier when it is ready!  Wow!  Glad to be home after this long but pain free process.

Dental processes are so much improved since I first came that I am stunned by the advances in technology and the training of dentists into specialties that provide the best treatment at our dental clinic.  Such a long way from early days here when I had to caution the dentist about sanitary procedures because she did not seem to know about them.

The days have grown cooler.

Thursday now and I have been busy all day with various things.  The best is making the granola which is delicious and healthy, too!  Then there is the new project - rooting cuttings from the hydrangea bushes on the side of the house.  I made a rooting liquid with the ends of branches of the willow tree and followed directions for putting the cuttings in potting soil.  Will be amazing to me if they grow though I was able to do so with lavender cuttings some time ago.  We have enjoyed having them bloom for a few years now.
