Amputee life before and after...

~Yard Work~ :-)

There you can see the edge of the slab at both ends
of the sidewalk.. Carl said at one time it was all edged
and looked really nice.. The far slab is where I would
like to have the grass cleared off, and edged.. I think
it would really look nice.. I had even pictured it with
railings kind of at each corner, with an arch going into
it at the far side :-) The 2 birdbaths out there, the
stand.. and maybe even a nice white birdhouse.. :-) I
see the garden lady has a couple of birdhouses and I
do see the birds going into them... It could be so pretty
out there.. Something even nicer to look at.. I do enjoy
it now.. but well I see it as what it could be if I can get
it done.. Well ok.. what someone could make it look like
for me :-)
See to the right... that's the hummer stand feeder holder.
Penny cleared out all around it..there were some really ugly viney
type junk out there that spread all over last year.. Maybe
we can get a head start on it and get rid of it before it
takes good hold.. Its all around the peonies too and gets
all up in them.. We are keeping the rope Carl used last
year to tie them up.. I know they will need it again this
year..
Female cardinal on the right.. :-)

Below the hummer feeder Penny planted some.. well ..
LOTS of sunflower seeds.. I saw 4 rabbits out there
and I KNOW that once they spot those seeds growing
they will more than likely eat them... So to make sure
I have a few out there .. shes planted a lot of them :-)
I'm hoping those morning glories will come back this year..
Some do.. some don't.. Donnie had some HUGE blue ones
that came up every year around his deck he built at the
farm.. I know they didn't plant them... I sure wish I
could get my old cement birdbath back.. Its lost I guess.
I gave, well let them use the cement one I had that was
my moms.. Was always out in the back yard.. I love my
little white ones.. But sure would be nice to see that one
I usta have.. :-)
Crows or Black Birds ? Pretty what ever they are :-)

My eyes have been giving me fits lately.. The left, blind
one especially.. Everyone notices.. cuz the eyelid is so
swollen.. the right is a little but not near as bad as the
left one.. I have NO idea what it is.. But I did look it up
on line to see if its anything I should worry about.. And
its ok.. just allergies.. which I guess explains why they
constantly tear up and I look like ive been crying for
days ! :-) I just cant win... I almost have to pry them
open in the morning.. :-) Dutch offers.. but sandpaper
licks hurt :-) I use my old stand by.. Warm, almost hot
water compresses a couple times a day.. Seems to be
helping.. My brothers have allergies REALLY bad.. I
guess I do now too :-)
Male Cardinal.. what a beauty :-)

There were lots of visitors out at the seeds today.. I
sure enjoy seeing all those birds.. Even those crows or
blackbirds are so pretty.. They just seem to be almost
iridescent.. Such a wide variety of colors out there..
From that almost regal red Cardinal.. to the sassy bluejay
then the black, plus there are the doves.. They look so
soft and almost velvety... Ive not seen the woodpecker
lately.. Well not for quite awhile.. I cant wait for the
hummers to come back.. I sure enjoyed them.. As last
summer wore on they kinda got used to me.. and would
tease me I think by getting right in front of me and
just hovering.. :-)
Bluey :-)

Lunch time and I am not sure what I will make.. I have
some ground meat, and goulash sounds so good.. I may
make some of that.. Our pizza yesterday was wonderful!
Between Penny and I we ate all of it :-) She was hungry
for pizza too.. For all the people she has at her house to
feed would cost her a fortune to order pizza.. and this
DiGiorno is just as good as Pizza Hut I think... so she
enjoyed it too :-) Penny usually has lunch here the days
she works..She cooks it.. so ... she deserves to eat it
too! She always makes enough for both of us plus some
left overs.. Meatloaf sounds good too now that I think
about it .. Hmmmm.. This GORGEOUS WEEBLE just has
so many decisions to make.. Every day :-) I like these
food kinds of decisions the best ! :-) Gotta go.. but
remember.... "I shall return!" :-)


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...
