Spring Happenings


Lots of pretty things going on outside here in the Land of Muddle. I am so happy to see the things that survived Winter this year. Ours was a very mild one, and that is why there are hibiscus blooming!

As you can see here, Mr Muddling is doing the work of planting tomato plants in our little garden. He did a great job!

This little daily calendar page is how he says he feels some days - he is behind pushing me and ahead pulling at the same time! Bless his heart. I do not know what I would do without him!
I am amused, amazed and slightly annoyed at my friends who tell me what a breeze knee surgery is. I've had both knees replaced in three months. It has not been overwhelmingly bad, but neither has it been any fun at all. LOL! But, I am recovering and doing very well! My physical therapist told me that most people have amnesia after they recover from these surgeries. They quickly forget, which is probably a very good thing!

One thing I have learned is that you should NOT attempt to alter a quilt pattern when you are chemically altered! I saw this pattern on a Donna Jordan video. I liked it so much I ordered the pattern and the layer cake to make it. Of course I did not take into account that I cannot touch fabrics until they've been washed. Allergies. So. My ten inch squares ended up being 9 1/2 X 10 inches. It took several attempts, but I think I have now managed to get it right. I will just have smaller blocks. 

The chickens always entertaining. I wonder what they're thinking.

Buddy is not worried about anything! I think he's got the right idea!

I hope you are well and happy and having fun in your world! I am thankful for all the good things in mine.

Hugs and kisses,

Happy to see all the spring flowers and your garden coming to life. Been wondering how you were doing. I've had several tell me knee surgery is no fun at all.. But I'm glad you're doing as well as to be expected. Take care and it won't be long now. Much Love and Prayers.

Lovely to see Spring arriving at your home. Your garden has done very well over Winter.
I hope you keep making progress with your knees. You have had two major surgeries and nobody bounces back quickly from that. Just keep up the exercises and the improvement will come.
Good luck.

Your flowers and chickens look happy. Good news to hear that you are up and about. Knee replacement sounds like an ordeal.
We are having nice weather here. Some light snow is in the forecast for tomorrow. We are hoping for rain instead. I haven't planted anything, but hope to plant some potatoes, sugar snap peas and onions this week. We'll see.
Take care of those new knees, dear.
