When I fell, I dislodged the shovel and it hit my head as I laid there, giving me a large 'goose egg' on the forehead. I didn't bother going to the doctor since it just looked like a bump. But as the days went on I started getting some pretty bad headaches, so I went to the ER and they did a Cat Scan. Nothing bleeding, nothing broken and no tumors so it's just a bad contusion./concussion. He said that the bruising would travel down my face and probably turn into a black eye. So far it hasn't. Guess I'll live to garden some more. I've got to work on that fence though so the dogs who can slide right thru it will quit digging up what's left of the pumpkin row. They've been eating the seedlings that I squashed. Gave them a case of runny stools. Started only letting them into the front yard and there isn't anything for them to dig up.
Speaking of our front yard; two days ago in the evening, some people came and flocked our yard. It's quite the clever idea. It's for one of the classes in one of our elementary schools. For a $25.00 donation a group of the parents come to the door and tell you that someone has paid to have your front yard flocked with 15 Pink Flamingos. Picture is here:
My little puppy wasn't real happy with all those birds.
They were on both sides of the front yard. And I must admit, I thought it was kind of pretty, till it comes time to cut the grass and you have to pull them all up to run the lawn mower.
I've been coloring pages and this one is a particular favorite of mine.
For this one I used pencils on his feathers so I could blend two different colors and the same for his coat. I used the gel ink pens for the beak and little owl's hat. I have about 100 coloring pages done and I plan to keep on coloring until I can't see or the hands shake too much. Can't stay in the lines if the hands and arms are having tremors. That's not going to happen for about 16 years. I'm only 77 now.
I'm going to watch a little TV and then go into my nice warm room and color some more.
Have a nice weekend and God Bless you and also the new President.
You will have to be more careful when you're in the garden. Untill now your stumblings/falls hadn't too much consequences but as we all aren;t all too young anymore we do have to take a bit more care!
ReplyDeletePoor pumpkins LOL.
I think the frontyard looked quite good with those flamingo's. And oh well, they are a bit in the way when you have to do the lawn, but they look great, makes it a lot more cheerful!
And I think the puppy will get to used to them too.
And yes, as long as the coloring makes you feel great and you can do it, go on with it.
Perhaps you can try also some watercolor paint on them?
and the ones you like most you can frame and hand them up in your house and every now and then you can change them.
Have a good week and try to be a bit careful, okay?
