3/24/2022-----65 degrees

Bored today and sitting in my chair isn't 
getting stuff done.   So this morning I 
decided to mow the yard.  It usually
takes me 1/2 hour to mow the front and
back.  Today it took over an hour mowing
slow and getting it all cleaned up. I took 
6 inches off as I hadn't mowed for a couple
weeks.  Love my brace but I'll deal with
the rash later.   I took a full bag off the 
front and another off the back!



North back yard.

Front yard!
















After taking a lunch break and putting my feet
up for a half hour it was time to set them free.












It usually takes me a day to get them all out, but
today I just did half and came in to rest.

Will do the rest tomorrow!

Getting Ready for Surgery!!

 Yesterday I had a visit with the Orthopedic
specialist and it's now time to get the knee
taken care of!  The swelling is getting worse
and still painful.  I have been dealing with this
issue for the past 6 months and had the knee
Baker's cyst taken care of a month ago plus
a steriod shot to help.  I was good for a week
or so and then all the sudden it was back to
pain, swelling and at night something it was
hard to sleep.  Then on the 16th I again was
awaken with muscle cramps to the point I 
couldn't stand on that leg.  This is an on going
issue that I just deal with.

At my age there is a lot to deal with and
I am not one to just sit in my chair.  Life
again is just so short, go out and enjoy it!!

The date is set for surgery, have to have a
covid test 48 hours prior and then they
were nice enough to setup all the PT appt.
for the next month!!

They have just added a ekg test before
 surgery.  Stopping some of my meds
so surgery isn't a hazard.

Loss Of Two Veteran Friends

Some of you know as I posted on FB 
that I got word that one of my gardening
friend, Richard has passed away.  His
friend sent me an email about
his passing last month.   I hadn't heard 
from him in a couple weeks after we 
chatted about making a visit to see
another friend next month.  He checks
in a couple times a week.   So I sent him
an email checking in on him and got no
answer, now I know why.  May he rest
in peace and enjoy gardening on the 
other side.  

I personally want to thank Flannel 
Farms for their tribute to Richard and
for them to know he truly enjoyed all
the videos that they have produced.  
There was one more request that 
Richard had was to have me send to
them a couple banana starts so that
they could have them there.  This am
I worked out the matter with Mr. & Mrs.
Flannel Farm and as soon as they come
up I will be sending them out.  Richard,
I'm still full filling your requests.  Rest 
now in peace.  Let me also shout out to
David the Good for another place that
Richard enjoyed.  Happy Growing and 
sharing with others.

We also talked about visiting another
dear friend in April and Richard wanted
to bring his friends here for a visit.  Our
gardens are open for those that might want
to visit.

This comes after loosing another friend
last Oct., Lauren was another guy that
loved coming to the gardens and see 
what was growing.  Lauren would check
in daily and it was a shock to get a call
from his friend telling me he was in the
hospital.  During covid they wouldn't 
allow folks in the hospital so I wasn't 
able to go visit.  May he too rest in peace.

 

Why am I posting about my friends, 
simple.  Do you have a will and some
one with a power of attorney?  Do you
know if you don't the State will step in?
Your poor friends have to find your family
members, so please have contact information
available.   Keep all doc in a safe place and
the person that has the power of attorney 
know your final wishes in writing!

Life is just to short!!
