Time To Relax / I do not smoke!

 Until the next medical journey!  I just
finished one and have 3 more to go this
month!  So please forgive if the blog takes
a back seat for a while.

Getting tired of all my doctors asking me
if I smoke......NO!  But my neighbor to 
the north has a fire pit!

Last week I added another doctor to my
team to keep me going.  We know, I have
issues with the eyes, he requested I keep on
the path that I'm on!   He recorded the numbers
on the issues and said I should stick with the
6 month plan with my regular doctor.  We now
have a point to compare if the issues continue.
I don't smoke!

Two more specialists to go before my journey
at the end of the month!  Echo, checked off the list
last week.   Today I got another set of x-rays!
Now to see each doctor for why these were
ordered.

Again I do not smoke!

All that I ask is they keep me on my feet and
doing what I love!


Saw the heart doc. on the 30th and there was
a slight issue that we will keep a close eye on
but everything looks the same.

31st I saw the surgeon to get on his schedule
to do the left knee.   I will have a list of things
to complete before surgery.  He was impressed
on how well the right knee was doing!  I have
the best surgeon!

74,000 Views

 Some time today the blog reached the
74,000 views.  I didn't know my site 
would be this popular!!  Life with 
spammers is what it is.  Germany and 
Russia just keep moving to different
locations.

For those of you here to enjoy what
we do here, thank you for stopping
in.  I hope you enjoyed the photos.

Happy 4th of July!

Time For Spring Cleanup

 Many of you know we do our Spring
 Cleanup around the 4th of July.
I have started to cut back a lot of the 
Spring bloomers.  Why, so that we
also get fall blooms!  The heat and
wind do some of the plants in.  I am 
in the process of saving seeds and 
will post what I have for sale later
in July when some are ready.

7/8/2024

After watching the yard fry with
the extremely hot temps we are 
having to cut down a lot of the 
plants. In cutting them back, so
that they will regrow and bloom 
in the fall! The key is to fertilize
after they are cut back to get them
to regrow!

2024 July Cleanup

 July 8, 2024

I vac up 1 full bag of 
pine male cones off Sable's
gravel area.  Yes, they are still
coming down.

July 16, 2024

I vac up 2 full bags off of Sable's area
and 1 bag off the north garden bed.

July 17, 2024

Repeat of yesterday's mess 2 full bags
off Sable's area and another 2 bags
off the north garden bed besides 
mowing all the dead pine off the lawn.
I will have to rake up all the rest, when
I get more time.

7/22/2024
I vac up 3 full bags off Sable's area and
the front gravel parking spot.

7/28/2024

DH, cleaned the shed and roof and removed
a full bucket of tree debris.

2024 July AA / 966

Why do I keep two sets of
numbers?  The first one with
the date is the daily number
of visitors to the blog.
The second set of numbers
with the time is how many
attempts to access my account.
Which is mainly, Russia, Germany
and USA. Same numbers from these 
countries are being used in other 
locations.  Attempts and Blog's 
numbers don't add up.  One 
could view this as harassment!

7/11/2024
It appears it was mainly Germany
overnight with the  IP Numbers that
they have used in the past.
It's still harassment!

Fireworks Coming From Westmoor!

 Some one thinks the laws don't pertain
to them as we have had fireworks go off
already twice!   Yep you can't fix their
stupidity!   

Fireworks are to be shot off only on 
the 4th of July!!!

Time to Ban then in Clark County!!

Since I posted this post, we have had
fireworks go off every day!  See folks
don't think they need to abide by the 
laws!

Well last night was an interesting night.
WW3 in Felida as the house and windows
rattled!   Poor Sable went crazy as these
set her off running to the tub.  An animal
being stress to the point she wouldn't eat or
even go out to potty!  Hope you all are proud
of being an American when you do this not 
only to animals but humans with PTSD!

Clark County should follow suit and join
Portland and the Couv and ban all fireworks.
A great chuckle with their burn ban that was
set to start on Friday, the day after the 4th.
Sorry but have you seen all the dry brown
yards out here??    

Fireworks were going on after 3 am!  Whom
cares about the laws??
