it's probably an inappropriate in some way but so am I most days.

Yes, I'm bored. Yes, I had my surgery and all is very well just hampered by the rules the surgeon gave me. I'm done with the walker, it's can all the way for me. Therapist comes by twice a week, post surgery appt. on Friday. So far, so good except that I'm b-o-r-e-d. I'm Hallmarked out until at least 2025.

Sooooo, what are you doing today? Anthing fun? Anything boring? Any good gossip? Please amuse me. The Mr went off flea marketing which is good because I'm concerned about hurting myself while hurting him if we bond any more this morning. He's been amazing, really. But he's not good at this boring sitting around watching the dog's nails grow.

Amuse me please!!!

Today I'm putting in a new

Today I'm putting in a new garden even though it's over 30 degrees. I bought a beautiful hydrangea and some perennials and going to split 10 hostas. The hostas are getting out of control. My tiny yard will be all garden soon if I don't stop.

I love Hydrangia. What color will your's be and wil you alter it?

It is purple now but I don't

It is purple now but I don't know how that works. Once it's in my garden will the colour change due to whatever acidity level I have in my soil? Then I would have to alter the level if I wanted a certain colour? I kind of like the bluey purple colour it is now

The variety is "Proven Winners Let's Dance" hydrangea with round blooms

We have a small rectangular yard with a fence. I was thinking of eventually lining the whole length of the fence with hydrangeas going across

Love hydrangeas and yes the color will change to your soil acidity. (More alkaline- pinkish, more acidic - blueish). You can change the soil acidity, they have additives, but you have to go slow and change it gradually and you have to keep up with it.

I have a small yard full of hydrangeas (mostly endless summer varieties) though I got a couple pistachio ones this season that I'm in love with. It's been a great year for hydrangeas.

I always wondered how that

I always wondered how that worked with changing the soil thanks for the tips!

The most basic thing to

The most basic thing to understand about changing hydrangea color from pink to blue or from blue to pink is soil pH. Acidic soil changes some hydrangeas so they grow blue flowers. Alkaline soil changes hydrangeas to pink. Neutral soil, on the other hand, will allow your hydrangea to revert to a color in the middle.

I have a couple of rustic tools that were my grandfather's. Rustic and rusty! I'll be cleaning them up, then coating with clear Rustoleum so I can put them in display.

That sounds like a cool

I like that. I've seen some really great ideas for old tools and I think they look so cool. We expect pics when you're done.

Hydrangea....

They our beautiful! We have both lime and strawberry. I like that the dried blooms are pretty in the winter too.

I'm doing household chores and then working on renovation plans. Today I'm tasked with narrowing down choices for the master bath...freestanding tub, shower, fixtures, toilet, bidet, etc. Cabinetry and flooring already chosen. Will tackle lighting later. Going for a 'modernized vintage' vibe.

Happy Sunday to all!

Glad your op went well

Your operation is over, that's the best news. Yes, the healing days are boring and its hard to see progress but its happening.

Thanks for asking about us all. I'm fine, just a little overwhelmed with my high maintenance DH86 and Mom101. But a big help is that DH86 now has hearing aids so I dont have to yell all the time. I was talking to OSS about the hearing issues and he mentioned the $100 hearing aids he'd bought from Amazon and offered to show them to DH86. Long story short, we bought them from OSS! Lol. It's made a huge difference.

Life is good.

you don't have to yell and he

What?!

too much Christmas in July. I

too much Christmas in July. I found the Savannah Bananas film on hulu and I'm watching that.

funny story, but really not funny, Last Fall I put in for a chance to buy Savannah Banans tickets for this summer. They were coming to Buffalo. I put in, my friend put in and the Mr put in. I made the first round. no one else did. I made the second round. My number made it and I was able to buy 5 tickets for July 6!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the next day I got my surgery date ... July 3.

guess who had to be babysat by my son while others got to go.

ah well.

Finished A Quilt

Well, the center. It's an In-the-Hoop Embroidered quilt. Blocks made on an embroidery machine and then assembled via a sewing machine. Baby quilt. I'm at 58.5 hours with another 40 hours to go. I love making these for special friends....heirlooms. And now I'm watching TV.

Here's to your continued improvement and getting back to normal life asap!!

Hi, I'm glad the surgery and

Hi, I'm glad the surgery and recovery are going well, though I truely understand how boredem and frustration at new limitations can be the worst.

My husband and I are in the process of buying a house for my mother in law to live in. The first house we put an offer on the seller got out of bed on the wrong side and refused to work with us and our attorney so we backed out of that one. Now we found another house last week that looks even better, it is nearer our house, a more appropriate size, in better condition, has ac and has a garage. And all for $500 less that the original house we were looking at!

Going through my things,

Going through my things, getting rid of/selling, doing initial packing, meeting with realtors and waiting for lawyer call backs.

Meanwhile, also working and taking care of my cat (who is having another health down-turn sadly - he's been a rock for me these last two weeks), going to the gym (essential).

My friends are all making sure I'm ok too and keeping me busy - I'll update everyone soon on what's going on.

Thinking of you every day,

Thinking of you every day, Cover, and sending all of the positive vibes that I can muster. Sad times, poor girl. HUGGGGS! ♥️

Am now a solid Urbanite!

Glad you are recovering and the surgery is in your rear-view mirror. Ill have to check out savannah bananas...?

After releasing our poochie July 2, looking at his empty bed, and empty bowls, seeing posts on facebook about the 104% overflow at the shelters, I debated with myself, then Friday went for a visit to the shelter closest to us that was at 104% capacity. Too many animals for too few kennels. I had been looking online and narrowed it down to 1 possibility. Informed husband of my intentions, with a photo of her and I together. He said he would go visit on Saturday. At 1. When they opened, we went through to see my "chosen" girl. He did not connect with her at all. He wanted another walk-through to see everyone. He found a girl he liked, and in the playroom, she kissed us, wagged her tail and calmly played fetch with us.

Ill post on Facebook of course, but we spent the weekend bonding with her, just hanging out, getting into a feeding routine, and seeing how she is going to work with the cat. It will take some time, but Ive sectioned off parts of the house for her and the cat to be separated. I took her to Sunday Blues in the Park for a few hours. She did well, but pulls when she sees dogs, because she wants to play. The music was awesome, I met up with friends, new girl gave kisses to everyone and many strangers commented on how cute she is.

Her name is Emerald and shes black and cream, with one brown eye and one blue. Shes a husky/shepherd mix, black faced with cream "eyebrows". We call her Emmy for short and shes brought much happiness back into our household.

Oh, yeah, and we went to see Keith Urban Friday night! All the girls in their cowboy boots and daisy dukes. Saw some good ole boys too lol. When Keith got on stage, everyone just kind of went into a happy smiling trance. It was such a good vibe night! No one got into fights (this happens, its part of the rodeo scene in this area) The concert was the opening night "kick off" to our Big Week Rodeo. Im not a huge fan of roping helpless animals and throwing them to the ground, but I do love the music kickoffs. Thankfully no roping occurs at these!

Ah, Clove,

I just KNEW that Keith Urban would put on a great show. He is so down-to-earth, sweet, sexy that I can well imagine falling into a happy trance! You deserved the treat, Dahlink, here's hoping that there are more lovely surprises in store for you.

Do you crochet, AgedOut? I l

Do you crochet, AgedOut? I l'm pretty good at it and learned by on-line instruction about a decade ago. You would not believe how many youtube offerings teach a rank beginner how to crochet; it works up quickly (unlike knitting), is easy to learn and with endless patterns (also online, free) to create. Give it a try!
