gardening, rummaging and painting day...

even the weeds are blooming here...

dumped this and will be using it to haul around the garden tools...

dutch iris are beginning to bloom..

new bulbs planted last fall...

so far- white, yellow and blue, from what I can tell...

this is new...

must have been in the bunch of bulbs we got..

or the squirrels have been busy...

daisies are up and going strong...

iris in the island are blooming, too...

got those plants from last weekend in the ground today...

Craig got up and headed out early to the rummage sales...

2 croquet sets, complete, one very vintage...

$5 each...

his goal this morning was to get one, but when they were $5, he grabbed them both...

the newer one is getting painted fun colors...

the vintage one won't be touched...

another new member of one of the front beds...

and he snagged these older, beat up tables...

$1 each...

he cut half of the legs off of one and is going to sand and paint them...

then stack them in a corner of the living room for his laptop central...

sent him to the lumber yard for a new nozzle for the hose...

saw them on sale in their ad and they had this paint that I had wanted but had been back ordered...

purple for sure...

the name is gumdrop...

I love it...

getting more of this...

well, its been a so-so day...

started out raining and then it cleared off and we have more storms coming in later...

so stiff and sore, I can't move very well at all or much...

the PT is working and as soon as I work through this, I will be in better shape...

its just the between now and then that's the pits...

DH and I got all the way to the parking lot yesterday of the drs office and I was too exhausted to make it in there...

fibro flair for real...

and I should never have even headed that way...

but I tried...

and then couldn't do it...

the worst part is that the ENT doctor is only there once a month, so I have to wait another month before I can get in...

besides the extreme fatigue and muscle spasms, I am hanging in there...

praying away the pain and waiting for better days...

moving slowly and letting the guys do 95% of the work...

some days I can almost forget that I have this stuff now...

and then there are days when I am very aware...

but, the best part is...

these flairs are getting fewer and farther apart...

that I do have more good days than bad now...

and the good days will return...

;)

and I will be ready...

hope you all have a great weekend and can do something really fun with family or friends...

some quiet time and much prayer for those around you...

well, the fish dinners just walked in the door...

I am going to stuff my face...
