I am still here.... thank you for asking and caring. I just needed time to gather thoughts. My hand is really feeling okay. This means back to beading and stitching. The back not so good. I will be having some tests so that my doctor can properly get to what is causing my pain. We do know that arthritis is a part of it but there is more going on. He has thoughts and has plans but we will wait until the tests and results are in. I am so appreciative of your thoughts. The week past also brought me tears and frustration. When I could not walk or move my thoughts went to how I am not happy feeling helpless. Being alone and not able to do what I want or more importantly what needs to be done. I have been very frustrated with myself. Yesterday was a nice morning. Dianna and Cassandra (Cassandra works at Jo Ann's) came by for a visit. I was up early and made an apple pie for us to have. Good to be with friends.
Not all the week was unpleasant.....the bunny arrives almost daily around 7AM and sometimes it is in the evening. He made a meal out of one of the plants in the garden. We scare one another … he pops out of the grass and then scoots to the other grass across the garden. The Doves are back with a new nest--- same nest. The children have yet to venture out of the garden for more than an hour. Today a suitor appeared.... going to be a long Spring/Summer with these birds.
The hummer spent most of the day on Thursday standing guard over his kingdom. This is one of the wall planters that will be coming down soon.... of course now I feel guilty taking it away.
The Brother Alan has offered to make Limoncello with the lemons I have when he is here in May.... hope he has learned to make it correctly. The last time I had a taste of it (years back) it was very potent. It could knock your socks off.
While tossing out the trash the other day I found this very large … about 1 1/2 inches big moth at my mail slot. I think it is called a White Line Sphinx Moth. Always something in the garden or surrounding area. I am not fond of flying things...well any bug to be truthful.
We are in a cool down. A few days of 97 then the 80s now the 70s. Next week back to the 80s.
I will be going through my stash this weekend and donating to a local school. So, that about covers my week. I will be positive about the back issue. Glad to chat with you today. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.

What is it with moths? Two blogs read and both have unusual looking moth photos....... I'll stick to hummers and ladybugs....
Limoncello.....devine!
Be kind to yourself. Most of us are not in our 20's anymore (darn) and things that we always did as a matter of fact, well now they don't always come as easy. And that is ok. I hear and feel your frustration. So maybe adjust your sights (still aim for the stars) but be ok with getting fewer things done at one time. Eventually they will all get accomplished. You've got this!
Your hummer has a tough job guarding his kingdom.
Enjoy your weekend.
My Dear Gracie: I am so sorry you are having back issues, I hope the doctor can find what is going on.
Love that bird so cute, wow a moth that size, I have never seen one that big.
Only 40s today melting snow soon to be gone yahoo.
I am happy you are getting back to beading and stitching, I am looking forward to seeing your next project.

That's a big moth!
I hope the dr can give you some positive news to help relieve the pain for you.
So sorry you're having back issues. I've been dealing with mine for many years. It takes a long time, but it will get better. Please keep me informed. I will be praying for you. Love, Auntie.💖
I hope everything turns out/turned out okay with your back. It is so fun reading about your garden!
