Thanks to all my blog buddies for
your prayers, healing thoughts and especially patience with my lack of posting. You have all been life savers! It has been a couple weeks since I have been
able to type or do much of anything due to the arm injury. The strength in my left arm is coming back
and I have even started a new knit project.
I fell head over heels in love with some cheapo acrylic
yarn with sparkles that I happened by in Michaels. I cast on for a rectangular scarf/shawl and
started knitting with a simple lacy stitch pattern and eight rows later put it
down because my arm started to ache. It
will get better every day and the knitting WILL continue as I build strength.
DH and I garden in the evening because it is too hot to work outside before sunset.
Unfortunately, that is the time that mosquitos come out as well. We have found a life saver to protect us from
mosquitos called PIC. These are little
clip on badges with a battery powered fan that blows an odorless insect repellant
up to 8 feet around us. Non-allergenic
and powerful as all get out, the badges have kept us from being eaten alive!!
Do you carry a fan? My mom used to carry one of the old fashioned
folding fans to cool herself down in Church, at home, or anywhere the Arizona
heat became too much for her. I have a
little different approach but the result is the same. I carry a battery powered fan in my bag and
it is a life saver! When I get into the
car and have to wait for the air conditioning to cool things down, I turn on my
fan. When the air conditioning struggles
to keep up with demand in a theatre, Church, meeting or home, I pop out my fan
and switch it on. It is my “don’t leave
home without it” item!!
How does my garden grow? Amazingly well!!
Macy and Max are checking the garden
for varmints. They are saving mom and
dad from vicious squirrels.
Life is good!!
