Earlier this morning I was out picking flowers in our garden. It was lightly drizzling, good for the flowers. We've been having a respite from the heat, but still not enough rain to amount to anything. The drought continues. There are lots of flowers inside now.
Yesterday we took a little day trip to Whidbey Island. Jill and Irene are up there at the family cabin for the week. The cabin is booked with family all summer, so we take advantage of a chance to spend a day there if we can.
We always enjoy the neighbor's flowers over at the beach access,
We were all pretty laid back but we did go over to Langley for coffee and a bit of a walk around.
Back home here today I was hoping to get outside and work some more on my edging, but this morning the drizzle discouraged me, and then I wasted way too much time chasing my mouse around, my computer mouse, that is, before finally decided it needed a new battery, and it was time for lunch anyway. Some days are like that. I might need another day off.
I spent some time last week tidying up in the garden, but there is lots more to do.
It's hard on me now though, with hip and back issues never going away. Tomorrow I will see my sports medicine/spine doc. I think about all he can do for me now is injections, but that might at least settle down the sacroiliitis for a while.
Well, it's time for another round of PT. I pushed too hard on a walk yesterday and today I hurt. We'll see if I can loosen anything up.
It's tough because you need to exercise, but not too much. I am dealing with discomfort issues, too, but nothing like yours. Love all the pretty flowers!
ReplyDeletePhysio therapy does help and you certainly work at it.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your doctor can provide some relief. I'm sure it's increasingly frustrating not being able to do what you want to.
ReplyDeleteThe beach looks so peaceful and calming.
Nice respite you had at the island. Continue to enjoy life, every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteYour Dahlias are lovely as are the ones at Whidbey too. Amazing Rose hips!!!
ReplyDeleteMy Buddleia plant is so scrawny and small and has been that way for years. It is in a ceramic pot and maybe i need to repot it or chance putting it in the ground. Any advice you have for my little old plant is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYou always make such pretty arrangements! I hope the Doctor can ease your pain a bit.
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are very nice, so bright colours. I did not have internet for a few days they had to change a piece and it’s back now.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of work in your garden, but it is always beautiful. I have also problems to walk at the moment and need an injection in one foot…but I have the intention to walk during my holidays by the sea, it’s nice to walk in the water that can help.
I wish you a not too hot weekend.
