Good Morning Sunshine!!

 But according to the weather report

a week of rain!!  Thank you Mother 

Nature for watering the garden when

I am not able to!   Now if you would

allow us to warm up some, it would

be great!!  

Another Letter

 According to the letter, they are going to 

weather permitting, remove the trees!

So we called our son and he stopped

by with his step son and they helped

cover the west garden bed.

All we can do is cover and hope for the

best after we have told them removal 

should be done when the garden is 

dormant.  Our plants have been coming 

up for the past month so we tried to

protect them.  

Who cares?!?!?!  

Our yard has been cleaned up for months!!

Making progress!!   I just love those

tree trimmers that just cut and drop, very

little was lowered by the ropes.  Plus

work being done in the rain!!   Then there

is the issue of protecting our property, if

you zoom in you will find a couple pieces

of plywood up against our fence.  That is 

to protect the fence??  Husband is home 

today to help out as I'm in my chair today.

After helping yesterday to cover, I know

today was a day of rest.  He comes in and 

tells me to shut off the heat pump as the 

wood chips are going into the unit.   He 

wants it covered to keep the mess from 

going inside.  They cut the tops off on 

the trees and just dropped them.....Got

Sable up from her nap!!  Boom!!

According to their letter,  "They would

maximize the impact to your property."

Raining and the wind is blowing!!

Here is what I found when I went at at 2:51PM

Several folks have asked for an update.

The above is the first post on the knee

issue.  After many months of limping,

tests and several doctors' visits I was

given a surgery date of 4/21/2022 at

noonish.  The morning of the 21 I 

received a call asking me to be there

2 hours sooner as there was an opening

and they could do the surgery sooner.

The 19th I went in for a covid test and 

an ekg which was required before they

would schedule the surgery.

Long story short is they were going

to sew the tears in the right knee called

Meniscus tears.  They preformed a 

arthroscopy to the right knee.  To much

damage and then did a partial medical

meniscectomy.   Bless my surgeon Dr.

Cornelius as he saved me from a knee

replacement that is down the road in a

few years.   I was told I had good range

in my knees by another specialist so  I 

fought to repair what was needed.  I was 

prepared for whatever Dr. Cornelius would

find.  I was told of the dangers and what 

to look for.  He is the best and well worth 

the pain to have this done right!!  For the 

next 4 to 6 months I will have to be careful

and take it easy!   

I have a whole list of things I need to avoid

and not do.  I truly thank all the medical staff

that helped get me back on my feet.  Especially

the nurse that put in the IV!  I bruise easily

and this time no bruising at all, she did 

an excellent job!!  They even called the 

next day to see how I was doing!  

The operative findings, procedure detail 

were in great detail with the photos that

were taken, not a pretty picture so I will 

spare you the mess.  I knew how bad this

was due to the pain and trying to work 

through the process.   You see I have had

plenty of medical in my history so I under-

stand and appreciate what was done to get

me back on my feet.  I have a month of 

Physical Therapy to look forward to and

need to get used to the crutches which I 

found these past couple days I'm allergic

to the rubber that is used.  So this morning

I ordered covers.

Today I was able to get a shower and

redress the knee!!   

Not bad on the swelling and bruising,

but I'm allergic to that they used

to clean the leg.  

I had a good chuckle at the nurse

that commented on the flip flop

tan I have so early in the season.

5/2/2022

Today was take the stitches out!  
Now I can go for a walk if I take it

slow and if I get tired rest!!  Ice if

swelling comes back.  A few other 

no nos......but take it slow.  Need to

put the limping days behind me!

Another Delay In Opening!

The neighbor's trees were not removed so 

we are awaiting for that to happen now

that there are several branches dangling

after the last snow storm.

Also I am set for surgery on the knee

it will be a month before I am back

on my feet they say.    

While it's still cold alot of the plants

are suffering, so when I am able I'll be

cut some of them back.  We are going

to delay the opening, sorry. 

Maybe Mid May?

4/23/2022

Well today we got a letter stating that

they will again try to remove the trees

on the 25th if weather permits.  Wow,

just 2 day notice.......the 25th doesn't

work for us!!    Our yard is clean and

it better stay that way!!  We also stated

in a previous letter that tree work should

be done when the gardens are dormant.

Our yard is not dormant now and has

been coming up for a month now!

Thank You Little Bird!!

 

4/12/2022 Findings

 After getting my inside chores done I 

head out to take the newest gazebo down 

and this is what I found.

After clearing all the limbs and pinecone 

it was time to take the gazebo down.  In

the process I find more pinecones.   I

removed 4 1/2 pickle buckets of snow,

more limbs, pinecones and slushy water.  

All I can say is what a mess.

At this point it was time for lunch 

but I needed to check out the back 

garden area as I was told last night 

there was another limb down I needed

to check.

I found the above limb on 

top if he lilac shrub.  All I

could do is move it off the

lilac as it was still attached 

on the other side of the

fence.

When Allen got home he 

also went to check on the 

said limb and found nothing!  

My question is how and the 

heck did they remove this

limb without coming to 

the door??    I'll be back out

and check the damage in the

morning.

After lunch I was able to

remove some of the gazebo 

As you can see the frame is bent 

beyond repair.  and all I could do 

is take it down.

But an hour later is was time to 

stop as the clouds rolled in and 

it's got dark!

Got in just in time for 10 minutes of

hail, followed by a half hour of snow!   

The yard again was that white color 

before the sun came out.   I was then 

about to go out and access some of 

the damage.

One limb off the tree peony.  Lots 

of hostas in the front yard laying flat

and so was the yellow peonies

in the large pot.  I also had limbs to

 pick up and pinecones that flew 

over the house.  The yard got

picked up and I'm betting there will 

be more in the morning.    

A broken branch off the Tree Peony.

Monday 4/11/2022 What A Way To Start A Week

 We watched the snow come out of the

neighbor's trees and this is the damage.

Wet snow and over 3 to 4 inches so far this am.
