Oh the drama!

The days are starting to really warm up. We are heading for our first 90s day this weekend.
My pain management doctor did indeed give me injections on Monday along my lower back. I lost count at 5 as he chats with me to get my mind off it. A few hours after being home the numbing wore off and a different pain. But, that was almost gone yesterday... then I made the mistake of starting to open the soil and pour into the pond. I should have done it differently but lesson learned and it will be a few days before I touch the bags again.

If it  is not me causing an issue, now one of the young Doves decided to hop out of the nest and did not know what to do...of course. So he sat here for a short time and then finally tried to gain flight...

Finally he made it to the chair.... and cried a bit. While I was working at the pond I chatted to him and he was calmer. When I came into the house his parent came back and after a few minutes of convincing, the young Dove went back to the nest. Hopefully he will not do that again. So I will rest my back for a day or two as it is bothering me.  My hand which also is still healing but doing great is now a little sore. Need patience in my life.

Look how pink my geranium is..... this plant is from last year and sits at my front porch. I just read that I can root my Rosemary from cuttings...it needs to be cut back drastically. So I will offer it to my neighbors and dry some more for my kitchen. I also should cut the Oregano and dry that. Another plant from last year that is growing like a weed.
Today I will be going to lunch with a friend, Vickie, that I met on blogger. We commented on one another's blog and discovered that she lives not to far from me. After Denny passed she called me and we met for lunch and still keep in touch with our blogs. Small world.
That is  about it for now. So happy to have you visit with me. Thank you for your kind words and friendship.

Just tatting

Today is starting with a very cloudy sky...tomorrow is a forecast of rain but the temps will still be in the 70s. Medical test this morning then maybe out to lunch with Dianna and Bobby. This morning started at 6:30 AM for me....can not believe that I slept until such a time! So, instead of doing laundry I picked up my tatting

which looked like this yesterday and now looks like

The outside edge is half done. It is not perfect by any means, but the pattern is new for me and there are stitches that I have done before but it has been some time and definitely could be better. The next one will be much better.
I looked out the window and what did I see....

Ready to pick they are. So many more on the plant too. The beans are looking good too and I will not even discuss the Alien Snail Vine. Yesterday since it want to join the outside light at the back door, I gave it a garden twine to crawl on instead of hanging out in space. Amazing how this plant is growing. Don came by to attach the wrought iron hook to the wall for me.

Now the Rain Chain has a perfect home. I will get a chance to see it work if we get the rain on Tuesday.  I love having this in my garden.....thank you Dianna and Bobby!
There is a new blog, but not a new blogger in town. Deena AKA Parsley, from http://parsleyandthepack.blogspot.com/ is back in town. Her former blog was Seasons of the Mind. Parsley's life took some turns and she decided to start a new blog to better reflect who she is. I have been a follower since way back when so I am happy she is back. Stop by and say hello.
That is about it for me. If I continue to doddle about I will forget that I have a 10 AM appointment to get to. I think I have a little time to get more tatting done.....
Thank you for stopping by and for your kind words. Most of all thank you for your friendship.
