Kathie CA..The Spring Gardener

Lin, Must feel good to have the house to yourselves again. I always felt that it's better if visitors find a place to stay that isn't at my house. Then we both have our privacy.
I have no idea where the Covid came from. I haven't been out very much but guess it's all over so might have been someone in the elevator at the therapy center or in therapy itself.
It hasn't been a good day. Took a dose of the medication last night before bed and didn't sleep much all night. Felt very nervous and shaky inside. Diarrhea and nausea came back also headache and sore throat and cough. Felt like a wet dishrag most of the day. That Paxlovid is nasty stuff.
Lucy glad you're weaning yourself down on pain meds. that is a good thing
When I was a kid we celebrated May Day the whole month of May. It was so much fun. We would make the little paper baskets put a couple pieces of candy in one and take it to a friends house, knock on the door and then run so they could chase us. Then we would spend the rest of the evening playing. this happened over and over all month. We would do that one night and the next night someone would be knocking on our door.
Nancy, glad your appt with the kidney doc went well. Always a relief to get a good report.
Kathie, hope you have another good day and sleep well.

Our plumber called yesterday and is coming next Tuesday to replace the galvanized piping so we will have better water flow.
I called the eye center yesterday as I still had not heard back about my next appointment and they said oh it’s scheduled for the 17th at 9 am. I asked when did they schedule it and they said last week. I then asked when had they planned on letting me know? She said I guess they forgot to call you. Then I said what about the fact the doctor was insisting on the 16th and she said he didn’t realize he is not in the office that day so said the 17th would work. So frustrating!
So got the tree trimmed, the plumber scheduled, got the maintenance of the a/c scheduled for the 20th as they said that will be the first day of doing that as it’s been too cold, Rosie goes for grooming tomorrow and Fred said next he will call a landscaper about coming to roll the backyard to get it even again but wants to have them check to see why it’s so uneven as we never had that problem before. I wonder if it’s the fact the cicadas are getting close to burrowing out of the ground and it might be because of the number of them. But will see what the experts say. As for me I just want the ground even again as I don’t want to fall and with the way Rosie runs around I don’t want her falling and hurting herself.

May Flowers for me also. I have a load of towels in the dryer. I plan on doing some dusting and vacuuming later today. The predicted high for today is 54 degrees.

MAY Flowers gets my vote.
Bill came early because I was scared of the noise my car made yesterday. He drove me to my appointment and figured out the reason for the noise.
I wish cars didn't have all the bells and whistles these days. Good grief.

I know what you mean, Lucy, and noise from car or any appliance gets me nervous these days.
I was happy to get my tub faucet fixed yesterday, Got a round knob this time, no more levers for me. Also he changed my whole house water filter and have a lot more pressure now. I do have a Britta filter pitcher in fridge as I like cold water, and whole family does as well. My Well water is cold but not as cold as I like it. So big sigh of relief.
Temps are steadily dropping today and another hard freeze tonight. Boy Mother Nature is determined to ruin that crab apple tree for me!! It is so full and gorgeous today. I am really enjoying it. He did lose one limb and it is not perfectly round like it used to be but still pretty view for me here in the computer room. I am not sure if I am coming down with with something or just not good with this damp cold the last few days. I have been hanging out in my flannel nightgown and the fleece bathrobe and warm fuzzy socks. I guess I should get dressed. Maybe.
I did get my bed made, the bathroom cleaned and a phone call from my friend. she went through several things not working right like I have. First was no furnace yesterday morning, then power went off when guy was checking it out. No him just whole neighborhood, then her generator didn't click on . so she had 2 repair men at same time. She was really frustrated but we had good visit . she was going shopping this afternoon with her guy friend. Should help along with dinner out tonight.

May Flowers sounds good to me also......I will be One Red Rose Kathie.....because that is a sign of love. And as I have said that when DH#1 passed one red rose opened in my rose garden and nothing else. I watched it for two weeks and finally thanked him for it and cut it and brought it inside where it lived 2 more weeks. And, the next morning all 13 of my roses of all colors were in bloom. They all opened during the night.
Jim is still sleeping now at 12:30. He even slept while I dressed. I am hoping to be able to give him a shower today since he really needs it. I told him yesterday that he stinks...LOL. I tho't that might encourage him to put up with a shower.
See you all later for tuck in.

Kathie, I love that story !! It just takes my breath away. I have been able to grow one rose bush in the last few years and since this last one is doing so well, I am going to try to put in another one in the same area and hope I have some good luck. I have not planted in dirt for long time.!! Just buy already planted and in a pretty pot and set them on my white stones. except for this one area behind garage. Will see.
Good luck with Jim's Shower. My brother can no longer get baths or showers. He gets sponge baths both from Hospice and my DSIL

No shower for Jim today. He is still in bed - ALL DAY! I heard him cough and went into the bedroom at a quarter to five and asked him if he was ever going to get up. He said he was hungry so I asked him if he was going to get up to eat and he said no so I made him a brunch which is his healthiest meal for the day and maybe when I go to bed at 11 he will eat a Lean Cuisine Mac and Cheese.....don't know yet since he is still asleep. I just hope he isn't awake all night.
Remember it's a good time for blanket ideas!!!
Tucking you in now in our newest blanket. It looks like a nice bright sunny Spring day and our doggies are all playing together. We are sitting around them watching them play. I guess when the adults all love each other the doggies do too.....Sweet dreams!
