Good morning...
Here I am at my computer again. Laddie is making progress and we are on edge. It's hard when it's your pet, whom you love so much. They trust that you will do the right thing. We are hanging on the Vet's phone calls. The blood count is going up and tests are being done.
I had a good night and am getting stronger every day. We sit on the front porch a lot of the time watching the cars and walkers go by. People with toddlers and dog walkers go past the house. I thought that I would sit in my chair and pull a few weeds, but thought again to my Drs. words....don't overdo! So here I am. This computer is a lifesaver....I can sit and write my thoughts and not overdo.
Yesterday, I received a mum plant. I thought it was rust colored...It is burgundy. We took it out on the porch and checked it out in the sun. It's beautiful. So big and full of buds. We put it next to the aster plant on the corner of my garden. It's sitting on the decorative chair next to the plant. That color is so nice next to my knockout roses, which are blooming right now. Purples and roses are so nice together.
The trees are changing color right now. A little early to us. It looks like fall here....black eyed susans, phlox, and honey suckle are looking at me from the distant woods. I haven't ventured back there yet although it would be a calming thing for me to sit at the edge of the woods. I love it back there...can't wait to plant my wildflower seeds and look forward to spring, when they are in bloom. I can wait a month for that...by then I will be able to scatter them and step on them to make contact with the ground, They are native plant seeds...a new variety for me. I hope that they do well back there. The woods has been in bloom for months now...different flowers blooming one right after another. It has been in constant bloom. Here is a poem about the woods.

Balisha
The Woods
The woods were calling me one day..
The breeze was whispering to say.
Come back Balisha sit a while..
We want to see your happy smile.
I told the woods with such dismay..
We'd have to wait another day.
Till I am stronger and more fit..
To make the walk and then to sit.
The flowers nodded to me then..
The breeze took hold and whispered when.
I looked from far away and spied..
A teardrop welled up in my eye.
I love the woods.. oh I admit..
The bench is waiting for me to sit.
