Re: lisianthus
Hello Dee Ann and all my good friends
it's good to be back, if only for a few min. at a time. My Dr. says that I
can do most things, if I will do them in moderation (moderation and
gardening do not suit well together)
I find that I can follow his instructions pretty good, because I don't have
the strength to do otherwise.
I don't want to dwell on a bad experience. I'm sure there are more than one
of you out there that has been there and done that. "not pleasant"
will say for sure that your good wishes, prayers, thoughts, and cards and
notes has been instrumental in making my recovery most pleasant.
My Dr. "good and wise fellow that he is" saw early on that keeping me
confined to closely was unwise, and has given me permission to take short
walks in the yard and short drives to the grocery and drug store.
gotta tell all of you, while I was being sick I had a double red
hollyhock to bloom and one red poppy and I believe I noticed 4 or 5
larkspurs at the back of one of the beds.
well folks doesn't take much to tire me out, sooooooooooo guess I'd
better close and rest a little.
I am so thankful to be back, and to have good careing friends like all of
you.
I don't suppose I will be reallly active , but will be here reading all of
your post for fear I might miss something important. I'll pop in and say
hi from time to time.
God bless each of you and happy gardening.
Dee Ann you are a jewel
