~Little Things~

Isnt it just great how just small little things make you

smile? Just a single flower today made my day.. I looked

out my kitchen window, like I do 50 times a day and this

morning was a most lovely surprise.. Do you see her? Miss

Bluey... A blue morning glory.. Those are what I had at my

condo before all over my trellis.. you can see how much

bigger they are than the reddish ones.. There are quite a

few of those out there too but are hidden... It makes a

person feel good to see the fruits of their labors.. I know

Penny will be pleased, shes worked so hard out there for

me so I can look out and enjoy all her efforts and I sure

do appreciate her.. My girl does good work... I'm very

pleased.. :-)
Isnt she lovely? I know next year that whole fence

will be covered, as Penny will put up some more of the

wire to help them climb.. She said the ones she planted

at her house are just going nuts and growing every

where. Its a good growing year I think..all my wonderful

flowers are doing good.. My rose bush is coming back for

her 2nd bloom... Again I say, like I do every time I look

and see the great job whomever the planter was that

put all these flowers in the ground.. I should ask Big

Daddy... He should know... :-)
I saw those 2 little guys out there and had to take

their photo.. Sometimes the flash goes off and it

scares them.. There were about 5 up there when I

grabbed the camera..but of course the boy had to

see what I was looking at and scared the others away.

I think some of the birds and animals are just used

to us staring at them thru that window... Its great to

have windows to see out of.. but better yet its just a

great blessing to be able to see isnt it? I know I sure

appreciate it being blind in my left eye...

I lost the lens and sight in my left eye back in 84. We,

Willie and I had a tree service and had I known, I would

have worn safety glasses.. But you just don't think those

kinds of things can happen and they do. We were taking

out a stump, Julio and I, Willie of course was off on one of

his frequent trips to Florida, supposedly to visit his brother

Beau, no.. was to visit his ex wife and stay at her house., I

didn't know this till after we divorced,,, lucky for him, and

her I didn't know... :-) Julio used a wedge, as he is pounding

that in, a piece of metal..1/4 inch ...came off that wedge,

flew thru the air, I was at least 30 feet away and at an angle,

that piece went thru my eye, 1 milimeter from the center,

as it went thru the eyeball and rested in the socket behind

it, it tore the lens off my eye, it had a barb on it, like a fish

hook has.. The result was 4 surgeries later I ended up with

very very little sight.. I can see shadows, and colors.. but no

detail at all.. If I lost my right eye, I would be in serious

trouble...

As the years go by I notice how drastically my sight has

steadily gotten worse.. I wear glasses constantly , just

the cheapie magnifier kind.. When I went through all that

with my left eye, I started then to wear glasses as the Dr

said it would be wise, just to protect my good eye.. I was

driving down the highway one day, with the window open,

a piece of dust or something got in my good eye and I was

instantly blinded.. really freaked me out and going down a

4 lane highway.. thank God I was on the outside lane, I

pulled over to the side and had to wait till I could get what

ever it was out.. I didn't have glasses on that day, I always

wear them now.. Being blind in one eye causes problems in

driving this chair too.. I get to rollin kinda fast and head

for the door way, I hit the side of it because of the no

depth perception!...I still havent learned to slow down.. :-)

I can go to put something on the table and If I am not

VERY careful.. more than likely I will miss and it will hit

the floor.. David was always teasing me.. tossing things to

me and watching how I NEVER caught it.. I finally learned

that I can only catch if THEY throw it into my hand.. :-)

Well, its that time. I have some green tomatoes in my fridge,

so ... 3 guesses what this lady is gonna do? yup.. slice them

babys up.. bread them and gently fry them, in virgin olive oil

of course, and not a lot.. Teflon pans you don't need to ... My

girl Dawn brought them to me the other day when she was here.

She got them from Mikes garden, I'm glad they made it out of

their house, but I don't think they really like fried green

tomatoes.. theyre great ... So was the movie by that name :-)

I'm done for today, hope you like the photos and that you

had a nice Sunday... I did... But I need some of those maters,

and that's where this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is heading... but

first my grateful for this day "nitey nite" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya and THANKS !!

Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend".

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
