Hello Friends!
Happy April 1st
Another month starts today, this one is if April showers do come your way, they bring the flowers that bloom in May . . .
Late to the party, the pink camellia is just now coming into full bloom and the red one just opening up!
I actually did some gardening yesterday, well not gardening proper but I trundled around my borders using my rollator/walker to keep me upright, and with a pruning shears in hand and a long handled pruner too, I did a teensy, tiny bit of tidying up. I know I will never garden properly again and it does make me sad, but it was something out in nature and it felt oh! so good to have the sun on my face if only for a short while. Hopefully there will be more to do in the coming days, it isn't much but it is better than nothing and, like I said, that feeling of warmth from the sun, after the horribly, long, cold and wet winter was just amazing.
I sprained my wrist and might have made it worse by pruning! Yikes.
Your responses to my last blog have been amazing. Thank you all, and especially if you were able to sign and share the petition. Every signature counts and matters! There will be more coming on Parkinson's in the near future as I sift through everything. As some of you said in your replies, we all of us know so little about it. Education is a key word!
Until next time
Debbie
Another sunshine day here today - long may it last!
ReplyDeleteit was bitterly cold here today with a strong wind all day, but it was dry and sunny so I'll take it! Anything is better than the endless grey, wet days of the last few months.
DeleteThe camellias are just beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI'm sorry to read that you sprained yourself. Here's to it healing quickly. I'm glad to read that you enjoy being out in the sun. Are you able to do container growing? I like that small garden way as well. I also like to grow indoor sprouts. So fun. Wishing you a wonderful spring. Cheers, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if perhaps many of us are experiencing gardening as you did -- something that once was a bigger thing, we did more. And now we get it as tidy as we can and hope for the best! I say well done! But sorry about the sprain.
