HHH

 

a lovely hazy, hot and humid day in Ohio

I picked a few peonies for Mom before my visit earlier

this plant is from her mothers yard about 40 years ago...

 

she was delighted with them

 

 

this is my work

very slowly getting rid of bushes and hedges

by a door

to be replaced by a little white fence

 

some day I'll pain the house

dark sage and white with dark grey trim...

 

get rid of those pavers

for now I'm hacking away at the mess

setting money aside for repair and replace

 

 

poor Mom

she has a large skin tear and much bruising

supposedly she was trying to get out of bed last night

while nurse and aide tried to stop her

 

she caught her arm in the rail

during the struggle

causing the damage

her other arm has a few bad bruises from hand pressure

 

the nurse called me and left a message right after it happened

I was at work and couldn't leave

she said mom was okay...

but I sure would have liked to been with her

 

she says it hurts a little

for her that is something because she never complains

staying inside the rest of the day

hoping to finish the hooking on Debbie's rug

while watching Lark Rise to Candleford

for the first time...

it's such a joy to watch

 

Wishing you a peaceful and happy day!
