Sitting Up Straight

Hey there,

It certainly has been

awhile since I've been upstairs to

use my computer.

 About the time I posted last, 

we were busy with the

 hillside weed whacking,

filling a garden bed with new

soil and mushroom compost,

and getting ready for company.

We didn't finish but we made

some good progress.

 

 What I thought was going to be

normal aches and pains from 

the weed whacking and gardening,

turned out to be much worse.

So for this past week,

I've been wearing a clam shell brace

 around my torso. 

 I'm feeling a bit turtle like.

My head is spinning

with terms like  spine compression fractures,

wedge fractures, and osteopenia / osteoporosis.

Isn't that just dandy...

I'm supposed to stay positive,

but finding even that difficult.

  I'm determined to get through

this with the best possible outcome.

About the photos:

The hummingbird feeders

are quite small.  They came

two in a package from Lowe's.

Each holds about 1/3 cup of

sugar solution.  They also came

with little stakes meant for placing

the feeders in hanging 

baskets.  I clipped them to 

the clematis trellis out on the front deck.

Since the feeders are in the sun,

 I was able to capture the hummingbirds

flashy colors for the photos.   

The feeders small size means I'll have

to refill them daily,

 but that's good since the sun 

would spoil the solution rather quickly. 

Have a great weekend. 

Take care!
