~Explosive!~ :-)

My pine tree in the back yard is losing its needles and

what a mess out there, needles EVERYWHERE! I didn't

know they shed like this.. Only the one... not both.. but

they are different, pines yes, but different variety..

woke to rain and cold and windy and I sure can tell

it.. I ache and my stumps feel almost explosive :-)
That's a good way to really describe how they feel-

sometimes when the weather is bad or there is a

change.. They feel so swollen and tight, that I think

if I stuck a pin in one I might take off like a balloon

when you let go of it and it flies around the room!
:-) Now, THAT would be hilarious.. very dangerous

TOO ! :-) But that is a very good word to describe

how they feel...

The subject of phantoms has come up again and I

was discussing them.. I think, none of us that has

to endure phantoms is an expert, not even a Dr. How

can they be ? If they have never experienced it.. I

have been an amputee now for a long time. My last,

amputation of my left leg was November of 2001..
I will have been like this for 8 years pretty soon..

And I cannot still claim to be an expert on them.

They change so much.. I think as the time goes on

that that is entirely possible because I am changing,

getting older plus my activity will change as I get

older ... But I still cant claim to be an expert.. Nor

do I give advice to anyone on how to handle them.

There IS no set way , at least for me anyway, BUT

then.. NO ONE is like this GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-)

Penny came today and we are all clean and ready for

another week.. No set plans, so far... but things can

change in a matter of minutes.. so.. NO telling what is

ahead.. only thing I KNOW is ahead, is LUNCH ! :-)

SO... you KNOW what that means.. Time to post this

and to warn ya again.... "I shall return!" :-)

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and thanks!
Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you Friend..

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again..
