The ribs are getting better...but still not as good as I'd like them to be.
I've been having some laser treatments on my elbow...and hoping it responds as well as the other elbow did back in 2013 ... what a walking disaster eh? My neck is killing me...hahahhahahha oh, brother ... I don't dare ask what next?
Been working in the yard trying to get things ready for winter..and, baby sitting cement finishers in the garage.. had the floor repaired and epoxied... is that a word? Epoxy put on the top of the repaired cement. Hopefully now there won't be any more chunks of cement pulled up by the overhead doors when they get frozen to the floor on cold days. They are a'comin'.... although, right now the weather is better than a lot of days in the summer... and just slightly cooler ..which would be great for golfing....but, the courses are readying for winter too and leaves are all over the place now... can't find the balls when they go off the fairway. They are aerating, spreading sand on greens, etc... kind of not worth the effort now.
I don't even want to pull out the potted flowers and plants...they still look great... but, it is a matter of maybe a couple weeks now till it gets cold....I'm leaving the good ones til the last minute..but, cutting back the daisies, the lilies etc.... we had to cut the Hawthorn down too... Fire blight for the third time. I give up. Maybe a crabapple there instead. And after the high winds of the last few days picking up a million (I kid you not!!) little teeny cones from the neighbours two big, old, dirty spruce trees. If they'd water them a bit they'd be a lot healthier and not produce so many of the silly things....but, they won't water and they won't take them down. Go figure.
Look at the late blooming Bacopa ...and, the beautiful Lobelia...it lasted all season. First year for that. Lovely.....

Your bacopa are pretty with the lobelia; I planted bacopa for the first time this summer, as ground cover. Just 6 plants to try them.
I hope you continue to heal quickly.
Oh dear that is a lot to go through. I had the laser it did work. Take care of yourself OK. sending hugs. B
Well, it can only get better. Go create something and your mind will be occupied - along with your hands. Still no crows? We are inundated with squirrels and it doesn't help that hubby feeds them peanuts. They are becoming bolder.
Hope you are soon back to your usual bouncey self. It must be our time of life - we had another friend round yesterday and the poor girl had so many ailments she can hardly keep count! We are hoping her op goes well tomorrow - it's been cancelled twice. Annie and I had her laughing before she left - it does wonders for the spirit even if it can't help with anything else. Keep smiling. Your garden always sounds to be so lovely. x Jo
So sorry that you're still suffering from aches and pains - hopefully they will leave you soon. DH put our balcony garden to bed this week too - it's hard when everything is still doing so well, but there's the dreaded four-letter-word white stuff in the forecast for this weekend.
Oh, you poor thing! Get better soon, friend.
I can't believe you still have flowers. What little we had, I cut back. We already had a frost and I'm too chicken to wait until everything is done for the year before cutting back. It's so sad to see the garden that way! :(
I was sorry to read about your ribs and other ongoing problems Vee - can I gently suggest that you continue to take it easy, no matter what 'needs' doing? (I have a feeling I'm calling into the wind here, but I had to say it!) xx
