From My Garden



Good evening, how are you? Well, I certainly hope you are the best! I've been visiting today, but sorry to say I didn't get around to all...not to worry because I will get there soon. I have seen your post and have to admit, I have missed a number of creative ideas. But you know, I'm not worried because I can always go back and catch up on them, right?

  I thought I'd share some last of the crop pics of my flowers. They are no way as showy as my gardens from where we moved. When I snapped them, it had been raining, so they are showing a bit rain-soaked. The Azalea are actually late bloomers and adding color to our back yard.

Click on the pic to enjoy. As you can see, rain did damage to my little rose bush. I thought it would not bloom, since I planted it in February. Boy was I surprised! I had to pick it up from the ground, the hard wind blew it down.

  I am so disappointed with the way this new posting...I hate the frame. I suppose I will be changing again. As to my posting content, please bear with me as I search for fodder. The old gray-cells are a bit muddled since being away from posting. Hopefully, rest and a little recupe will change it.

  Wishing you all a Lovely Evening and a Good Night!

James & Loretta

Happy Tuesday Pretty Ladies


And, you all are beautiful in my eyes! Good morning, what are you doing on this wonderful day...May 1st? Sure hoping it has gotten off to a marvelous start.
  It is now a warm 82 degrees in our neck of the woods and getting near 90 today. My patient is doing quite well, surpassing all the rehab goals and healing very well. I am so very proud of this because I thought I would have a task taking care of him all alone.
  I had a bad day Sunday and I stopped and did what I needed to take care of myself. I had the presence of mind to prepare a larger meal on Saturday, and he was to assist me with heating it. Trying to keep to this strict diet has been a chore because James has gotten his appetite back and the portions as he says, are making him very upset...they are too lite, and no salt to boot!
  One thing I really want to ask of you...when posting, how do you go back to correct a mistake? I had to delete the entire sentence to correct a word while reviewing? I am reall not liking this new thing, so if you see any mistakes, this is why!
  I was sitting on the porch, one of my fave past times and watching the clouds

I love how beautiful the sunrays shine through in the bottom photo. What an awesome testament of God's Glory! James sends his love and asked me to tell you you are wonderful!
  Let us know how you are spending this wonderful May Day?

All The Best to You,
Loretta

Just Want To Say...

Good Evening Everyone, I have a little time now and thought I would send a thought out to you. My day is filled with caring for my patient from 6AM to 11PM each day.
  The walking, exercises, cooking, bathing, wound cleaning and other things, it keeps ME rather busy. Of course, I'm caring for myself because he just do not want anybody else doing for him.
 Thank God I was able to get  days rest before he was discharged.
I will be visiting with you soon to see all the goodies I've missed while away. I'm sorry I couldn't get back with you personally to thank you for your care, love and beautiful words of encouragement. Please know, having you reach out from blog land was indeed a huge moral support. As James phrase it, "Yall are some good people!

Hope you and your family are well and we both wish you a wonderful evening. We have had some very cool mornings, but now it is getting warm, up to 83 today. You remember those 3 weeks of non-stop heat we had last year 105-110! I pray it will not be this way again!
 James is waiting on dinner...take care and I'll be back in the swing of things soon!

Love to You All,
 Loretta

I will have to get acquainted with this new format...I don't like it... it takes me to long to post. Have you mastered it?

Hey Ya'll Out There

I hope all of you are doing ok. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your kind words and prayers, cause I tell you, I needed all I could get! Doc told me just one more day, and I woulda' been a gonna, I guarantee! I can't thank the Lord enough for watching over me. I'm back home now...everybody is scratching their heads wondering how! Well, like I told all the others, I werent 'bout to leave my ole' gal behind for some ole' pol-cat to come sniffing' 'round! Heeheeeee! Seriously now, I just want all you good people to know, Loretta has really stuck by me, and didn't leave my side at that hospital (not that I wanted her to leave)not one time although ya'll know she's got a lot to deal with concerning her health. Now that we are home she's still doing it all. I can't believe how much she is doing. She tells me the Lord is working with her now, and I believe it! I thank God every day for her and pray we live a long life together. I know I'm not the only one with sickness out there, so I want to wish you all good health and if you are going through any problems and such, let us all know so we can say a prayer for you...one more wont hurt, will it? Well, Loretta is fussing about being on this machine too long, so I guess I'll get off, but, not before I say this again, ya'll are some caring, wonderful folks and I'm here to tell anybody that, I guarantee! Take care of yourself and your family and don't forget your neighbors, we got us some good folks around here. Loretta says don't none of you forget her, she'll be back in a while as soon as her patient gets better. Now, ain't she special, that's why I love my gal! Do you think now she'll git rid of her shotgun? Heeheeeheee, I better quit a 'fore I rip somethin'. Love ya'll, this is the hubster signing off, James

Update 3 on James' Recovery

Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for your encouraging words. I am pleased to tell you, if all goes as well with James' recovery, he will be discharged from hospital tomorrow! Doctors are so astounded at his rapid recovery, they are still saying it is unbelievable! Out of ICU the next early morning after surgery, into a private room, then off all machines. Next, off oxygen, stats normal, sitting up, walking, tubes out, everything stable and if all numbers continue...he will be home tomorrow! What an awesome God we have... His spirit was certainly all around us! Now, the other end of recovery...we have a long row to hoe here at home...but I am certain we will be Blessed to finish this too! Again, thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers! You are truly awesome friends and we are Happy to have you in our life! May God's rich Blessings be with you all! Love to you all, Loretta
