I spend most of my free time gardening, reading garden magazines, photographing the garden or baking (mostly sweets, which list chocolate as the main ingredient). I play the guitar and sing in a contemporary choir of which I have been a member for 26 years.

Life in the fast lane

NO, I am not living the wild life, but it sure is flying by don't you agree??? Good Grief! I can't keep up. I think slow, move slow, react slow...what will I do when I'm 70? That is if I make it to 70.

I have been very busy with taking care of Matt, the garden, the house and work. The healing process is coming along very slowly. We were back in the emergency room on Sunday checking for blood clots since Matt was complaining of unusual pain in his leg. We called the doctor first. He said it could be a blood clot and should be checked out, so we went to Strong. It turned out to be sores created by the cast so they recast his leg with extra padding. He felt much better the next day.


Progress on the garden is moving along at a snails pace. However, I do go out there many mornings and sit with my coffee. It is very relaxing. I was actually working in the garden today preparing to cover the black plastic I put down last year with mulch. I had a bunch of flat rocks on it and decided I wanted to shift the plastic a little so I needed to move all the rocks. When I lifted up the plastic to channel all the leaves into a pile, what did I find??? S N A K E S! YIKES!!! Lots of them. Oh yeah Yellie! and not like that plastic one I threw at you last week :).

One thing I have learned and we hear it so often but rarely pay attention to it. We take life for granted without realizing how precious every breath is and every minute spent with those you love. You never know if it will be the last time you see your loved ones so "make every moment count."

We have no date yet for surgeries but this is good news since Matt is in need of our help. So things are working out for the best right now.

Blessings to you all.
