high blood pressure...

Steve has been having trouble with his left hand and thinks its the same problem he had 4 years ago with his right...

he had to have wrist and elbow surgery then...

so he told them at work and this morning, his boss took him to the company doctor...

while there to check the other things, they took his blood pressure...

220/103...

that was a ticket to the local ER and they put him in a room...

tons of test later confirmed that he had not had a stoke and there were NO blood clots in his brain or lungs...

he had 0 symptoms...

they kept asking him questions about all kinds of things and he said NO to all of them...

no headaches, no nose bleeds...

nothing...

so they gave him 5 BP pills and I called his doctor as soon as he got home...

sees him Thursday morning...

he is on light duty until then...

and he didn't call me...

he was a bad boy...

things always happen for a reason...

and since Mr Bullhead wouldn't go to the doctor before when I asked him to...

so glad he is having trouble with his left hand...

they will get around to taking care of that after they get his BP stable...

and lowered...

he thinks I am the cause of his high BP...

I don't think so...

after all...

I'm sweet and lovable...

right???

anyway, pray for him...

cause if he hits the ER again...

and I don't get a call...

I'm punching him in the nose...

I will keep you posted on his condition...

have a good night...

mornin'...

we are cloud covered this morning and did have 3 sprinkles happen...

so I got Craig up early and we headed out here...

the dreaded side yard...

cuttin' things back and pulling others out, just getting ready for fall...

not sure when that's going to happen, but we all know it will...

its so dry...

even the rocks need watered...

saw a brown cricket and a brown grasshopper...

which may not seem strange to you...

but ours are supposed to be black and green...

I guess so they can hide in all the brown...

mums are coming along here...

but these are my burgundy ones...

look yellow this time...

we pulled some on the dianthus and cut back the ferns and lilies...

looks much better...

got rain coming maybe on Thursday...

like more than an inch...

had to get this out before that because this will mold and cause rot on the roots...

this old wicker chair is in its last season...

so need to come up with something else next year for the bird bath...

see the cloudy skies?

the low temp was 83 last night, but the cloud cover kept it there for a bit...

humidity and dew points are in the high 70s, so we moved slow...

very slow...

these little blue flowers grow along the fields and roadways around us...

they are a weed, but a pretty weed...

love the blues...

if it weren't so dry and I don't want to break another shovel...

I would start digging these and transplanting them in my flower beds...

maybe next year...

it was good to play in the dirt again...

even though I think we ate a bunch of it...

it was flying around every time we raked or sifted the weeds out...

gardened in my night gown, I did...

then got my shower while the photos were downloading on here...

a couple hours in the garden is good for the soul...

some day the rains will come back and soak this earth again...

until then, we'll just have to make due...

you all have a blessed day...

one more thing...

thought I would share this with you...

my niece posted it on facebook last night and it put a smile on my face...

I could use on of those...

and the six pack better not be beer...

are you smiling yet?

thought so...
