At Least

At least the garden is growing with all this rain. That, and all those little Rose-of-Sharon plants that now line the driveway.

As you can see the lettuce is really digging the cooler temps; the squash are all blooming and the sugar snap peas are almost as tall as Danny. The tomatoes how doubled in size since last week. There are a couple of blossoms but no tomatoes yet (Dad said he has some about the size of a quarter now)

Even a little blurry you can see that the seeds are popping up in this basket that my girls helped me put together on Mother’s Day. No telling what they are yet; there were several packets of seeds that went in and we didn’t take time to design anything fancy, but just shook them in and await the results.

This Spirea (pink blooms) was so full of  blooms. I guess it got too heavy with all the rain. Enough of that, we all know things are wet around here.

Today I went to see Dr. Katie who works with Dr. Barr. My back has had a pull for several days now. The pain was such that I figured I had another lovely twisted rib. This morning I woke up and it was much better. Maybe the stretching I did last night helped. Anyway, I let Dr. Katie evaluate and she agreed that it felt like a rib. Since Dr. Barr wasn’t there, she brought in a new guy.

OMG! He was so much stronger than Dr. Barr (and she’s a big girl, ya know)! To do this job I folded my arms across my chest while laying on my back. He put his knuckle on the pressure point that was hurting in my back. Then he pressed me down, over his arm and knuckle with great force. I think my head snapped back from the force – it wasn’t supported by a pillow. My back was better, but later I’ve noticed a couple of instances of tingling in my fingers. I hope we haven’t mashed a nerve. God knows I don’t have enough of those already. They’ve given me a muscle relaxer to do tonight – maybe I’ll sleep through the dizzy stuff. I also got some trigger point shots by my shoulder blade. Hopefully by tomorrow I’ll be good as new!
