Laugh.....

Laugh often, laugh long and hard till you gasp for breath. If you have friends who make you laugh spend lots of time with them.....laugh till your about to pee your pants!!!

Over whelmed........

After mowing this morning I headed to my favorite greenhouse. I have learned if you wait to long your choices are far and few between. I was amazed at all the flowers. I could have stayed the whole day in there. My mind was racing with ideals. But I also remember how hot the last few summers have been. I only picked what I really needed. I would have loved to load my truck full with one of everything.
I did find some succulents. Hens & Chickens, most of you know what they are. I have ventured out and been growing different kinds this winter. They had some that I didn't have so I got a few of them. I've got everything under plant lights. Rule of thumb--nothing plants till the Monday after Mother's Day. I'm sure I'll be back at least a couple times before May 13.

Aching Back.......

Planting trees, weeding and getting the gardens ready makes for a bad back. Back for another visit with Dr. Levi in the morning before going into the shop. Had the day off so I figured I needed to rest. It was a beautiful day and I could have done a few things outside, but I knew better.
I spent most of the afternoon working on the RWB and got tons done. Was able to catch up on phone calls, emails and paper work.
Bristol, Lily Belle and I took enjoyed an evening walk and we spotted this nest.......

Wordless Wednesday......

Three cheers for chemo......

Headed out early this morning for my mammogram......sorry no pictures. Nancy was my nurse. She always takes care of me. I'm glad I get her each time, as she knows what we need to watch for. I have three lymph nodes that we keep an eye on that lay to the side of my breast. These three are easy to see. The others can only be seen with a CT Scan. I scooted up to the machine and got squeezed in and Nancy got her pictures. She looked at me and said, "you need to see this". I walked over and looked at the two computer screens and I wanted to jump up and down. I raised my arms in the air and said, "yea for chemo", losing almost half of my hair, being sick and going through hell some days was worth it. We compared the pictures from the last time and the lymph nodes seemed to be the size of walnuts. I refer to these three as the "islands". They lay just like islands in the tropics. In today's pictures, they looked like there were the size of peas. Wow.....what a blessing. I've been on cloud nine all day. Just another day of me, "Kicking Cancer's Butt".

It's been a looong day! Sandra had four wisdom teeth removed this morning. She is doing rather well. Better than Sarah and I did years ago. I was amazed when I left just a bit ago, there was no swelling. Yea, for Sandra.  She's been using ice packs and had mashed potatoes for supper. She said there was just a dull pain. No stitches, doc said to just let natural healing close the wound. Sarah and I had stitches and was sick for days. I would post a picture from when she was sleeping this afternoon but I'll just show the usual beautiful flowers......
