Amazed

 I was very ill with a sinus infection that was also causing a sore throat and chest congestion. However, for the first time in a long time, I have managed to turn this around. I am amazed! Usually, it gets so bad I resort to going to the doctor. My answer--claritin, hall's mentholyptus cough drops, chicken broth, guaifenesin, two allergy nose drops, singulair. I managed to sleep 7 and 8 hours a few nights, mainly because of being ill. But, I do believe the sound sleep helped me to recover. As you know, I get very little sleep most nights. Even with 8 hours sleep, I have still needed a nap. 

Now that I am better, I need to do a few things with plants. First, I will mix MiracleGro All Purpose Plant Food for all the flowers and berry plants. Tommy will apply. I need to decide the soil best for the blueberry bushes and for the blackberry bushes. Both will go into pots, huge pots. That is enough thinking for the present...lol. 

For the last two weeks, I have been worrying about where my bluebird and cardinal I made have been. Well, I found the bluebird given to me and decided to give it another coat of blue spray paint. I could not find that either after I found the bird! Now, I have bird and paint ready for Saturday. 

The pansies in my concrete bunny died this winter. I am not sure why. But, they came back. There are no blooms at this point, but I hope I get blooms. I might put strawberry lemonade million bells in the bunny.

I have my binoculars out to view the baby robins in the nest, but I keep forgetting to watch them! So, I must do that tomorrow and regularly every day. 

My exercise program starts today, Friday. For the last week, Tommy has mostly waited on me. But, for last three days, I have been up waiting on myself. So, I decided I will take a random walk down the hall for no reason except to move my body. My knee is cooperating and moving without pain once again, so we put my walker back in the car. I still have the regular walker in the bedroom, so I can use it in an emergency. I put my cane in the closet, so I have things other than the wheeled walker with a seat. 

Today has been pleasant, hot, sunny mostly. I am still decluttering a bit, but stuff is disappearing. I am taking the free books I acquired back to the free place so someone else can have them. That won't happen this week, but I did make a decision. 

Dinner: Tommy had chicken thigh, mustard greens, and baked potato. I had pimiento cheese sandwich, and bowl of blueberries and half an apple. I will eat mustard greens later. 

Saturday, I have a pork loin and vegetables for the crock pot. I will make chopped slaw. 

What gardening chores do you have planned for the weekend? Decluttering?
