The last is in!

The elders came over this afternoon and helped me by loading the dirt into the flower bed.

It took them only two hours to do what would have taken me days to get done. I'm so greatful!

I Have A Garden, A Lovely Garden . . .

I kept waking up last night with every muscle in my body sore. I woke up sore and called in to the temple this morning to be sure my co-volunteer would be there and opted to stay home. I'll be there on Saturday, so I don't feel too guilty, (just a little).

I wandered out to my garden this morning and so far everything is still living. Here are a few pics. I have many other things growing and a whole other bed to put dirt in and plant in. I'm going to take a few days to get that one done though.

Everyone who is really into gardening tells me how much they love it. I can't honestly say I love the work, but I really love the results. To be totally honest, I think gardening for me is a form of therapy.

Sorry I'm Slow at Writing

Wow . . . I've been at it again. We had eight yards of dirt delivered on Monday. It took me three days, but I finally have one of the planter boxes full of dirt. This afternoon I planted squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, and cilantro. It felt good to get it done.

My rose bush is looking beautiful.

I'll post pictures tomorrow. Today, I'm beat.

Yard work

Last week was a hard week for me. I started running fevers on Wednesday and didn't get rid of them until Sunday night. Monday was difficult as I came home very light headed after dialysis. Tuesday's are always my best days and yesterday was no exception to the rule. I planted some jasmine and vinca in my front lawn and came in feeling good about what I'd done, but tired.

The temple presidency sent me a get well card and it made me feel homesick. I'm just greatful I still get to see them once a week.

Steve has been busy building planter boxes for our vegetable garden. He had some old lumber and put it to good use. I've attached pictures of his progress thus far.
