Yes, cataract Brenda. They are going to do the left eye on the 27th . I can't imagine seeing even clearer than now. I am not supposed to bend, but I walked my garden with my scissors and deadheaded a few blooms. It was wonderful. Like a clear crisp morning that you can see all the way to the top of the sky. Just awesome.

Ya'll are so sweet

LOL Sharon, how pretty you are. I never noticed your ankle bracelet before and your purty earrings.

Whoosh!!
What?? You can see right through my computer?
Heh! I had to really look to even see them myself, Debbie.
Forgot what I had on that day.

Well... glad you have one working @ 110%.. can you read the inscription on the ankle bracelet..

I sure hope not, Gordon.
My coral toe nail polish, can you see it, Deb??

Holy cow, I had to go look at Sharon's picture enlarged to see any of that!

Me too!
I think that was in October.
I hardly even remember yesterday, have no clue about October. But I do remember those steps!

Isn't it grand. I think sometimes we take for granted our good working parts.

And Gordon, I can't read the inscription yet, but maybe after the second eye gets done, I'll be able to see all the way to Brooklyn. Then you'll be in trouble for sure.

Debbie, so happy your surgery went well!

Amazing from what Ive heard ...My dh got his done a year ago,he is Happy....

i hear that about Motrin...Ive been taking Advill all week ,I took a tumble into a bathtub from the outside....Feet slipped from under me,caught the back edge with my left hand the right one went down into the tub,a deep tub..pulled my right tricep,and jammbed up my shoulder.... wrenched my neck but good,I wont do that again ...I lean in to clean...Not anymore tooo old for that...I have enough aches an pains without that...

Mercy Tamara, I too hope you are feeling alright. That sounds like a nasty hit. Did you go to the doctor? Prayer for you.

LOL Becky, yes clear is good. Just look what bloomed for me today, with my clear eye. Looks like I need to paint my little fence, now that I can see it.

The thread "Creative Ideas for Garden Art" in Garden Art forum

I made this about 4 years ago and am now on the hunt for more frames within frames. I found this one at Savers, a thrift store like Good Will, for 1.00. It was ugly but I could see the potential. This is one of my #1 most popular sellers.

BEAUTIFUL Becky - LOVE all the colors!

After the week we've had in the garden, Hank was saying he was so tired he wished it would rain. I told him the same thing. That's why God makes it rain for gardener's - so they can rest or do housework??? Ugh....

Housework, what's that?

Ooohhhh Becky, sweet! No wonder it's a popular item!

I was looking for some photos and realized I'm pretty sure I haven't posted this one? This was a birthday gift from Rick last fall - he thought I had gone off the deep end when I kept talking about it! I saw it outside a local antique shop and HAD to have it! Last year when I did a major clean up of what used to be our pond, I transformed one end into a bog and the "plan" is to mosaic this, attach it to a post to swim above the bog chasing smaller tropical fish I hope to create and mosaic as well! A little humor for the bog... "Shark Attack"!

This is the design I came up with last spring

Not a very good photo but this is right after I opened my gift, perched on the dining room table. It scared the heck out of the dogs!

Debbie, that is going to be wonderful! I STILL HAVE YET TO GET INTO MOSAICS BUT MY HEART SURE MAKES ME WANT TO.
Vic, we are supposed to get AMAZING RAIN TOMORROW. I hope so!
