Gardening, music, life with MS
I’ve been trying to be outside in the garden with this cooler weather but I get so frustrated. Lately I haven’t been able to do 3 hours, which I’m happy with. The fatigue is overwhelming. When I volunteer at the garden shop, I’m in my wheelchair and it is 4 hours. I have been coming […]
I woke up this morning feeling very sad. My hope of having everyone here for Christmas has been a bust. Son’s girlfriend is obligated to spend at her fathers on Christmas eve with her two older children, one who goes away to school and is autistic. He would not take to traveling some place he […]
Happy Thanksgiving all! Though I haven’t posted in a few days, with lots of things on this mind, today’s post is all about thanks and being grateful. I am grateful for my families health and that no one in our family has lost their job during this pandemic I’m grateful that we all have safe, […]
I tend to accomplish more when I make a list. My list the other day had to do with getting things done in the garden before the cold weather sets in. I wanted to dig up 2 Canna lilies (bulbs), and 1 Dahlia, plant more Daffodil bulbs, plant 2 Shasta daisies I bought for 2 […]
I have always been a fan of his since the sitcom “Family Ties”, which my family would watch together. He played a conservative Republican teenager in a house with very liberal parents. It was very funny. Of course he was in “Back to the Future” movies and some others that I can’t remember the names […]
I’m reading a book, “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. I like to read books by authors from countries and cultures throughout the world. I’m very interested in the different ways of life, history, and past and present civilizations. There seems to be one common attribute from the past right through the present in every country […]
We personally have been alone for Thanksgiving since we’re in VA. I’ve cooked a full meal and determined that it is too much work for the 2 of us. We went to FL one year to be with my daughter, which was nice, but she ate with her father and we went to a restaurant […]
A vaccine by Pfizer that is more than 90% accurate has been approved over the weekend, and now today Moderna coronavirus vaccine is proven to be 94.5% effective in preventing the disease. The United States has surpassed 11 million ongoing cases and 1 million cases in less than a week. The coronavirus is running rampant. […]
I got a shot of cortisone in my knee and some Rx anti-inflammatory pills and I’m good to go. I started in the front perennial garden. I’ve been wanting to finish my beer bottle border so that’s the first thing I worked on. Alas my 5 gallon pail of bottles emptied and I needed around […]
So much going on in the past week. I’ve had a lot on my mind to talk about, but unable to find the time to sit down and write. First and foremost is the election, there is also accomplishing some gardening goals, and then the usual mumbo jumbo going on in my brain. Thankfully my […]
