Hello Friends!
Here we are in the second week of January. I hope you had a good week! I’m happy to share that I’ve been able to enjoy a few walks without my cane. I even checked whether the Narcissus were blooming, but unfortunately, they had already finished. Looks like I was a little late.
We have had more rain than usual, and much of nature is blooming earlier than normal.
But I did see these Fairy Dusters blooming just for you!
And I thought you would enjoy this pretty shot of the neighborhood where the Narcissus bloom.
Here is another yard in the same neighborhood.
It feels great to walk on my own. I am proud to say I am very close to graduating from Physical Therapy. I will miss my therapists. They have all been so good and attentive to me.
I do grab my cane when I feel like I might not walk straight or if I’m leaning. That’s mostly at night when my leg gets tired, but I’m happy to say that’s even getting better!
An Adventure Awaits
I’m excited to share that we’re heading into the desert for an adventure next week. It’s been a while since our last trip. I plan to bring two walking sticks for better balance during our outing. I will make sure to take lots of pictures!
Rock and Gem Show
Another opportunity for me to walk quite a bit this past week was for us to attend a Rock Show. It was outside, with rows and rows of vendors. Great exercise and fun!
Comfort Food
It got a bit chilly last week. I tend to cook comfort food when the temperatures dip. How about you?
And Pot Roast! So delicious!
I also made a delicious Ham and Bean soup! While I don’t have a picture to share, I used a tasty mix of beans that I soaked overnight. I added a ham bone with plenty of ham on it from the freezer, and it turned out really fantastic!
Crafting
I am decorating the She Shed for Valentine’s Day. I didn’t get to for Christmas. I’m having so much fun! You all know how much I enjoy playing in there. It’s been great doing what I love! After scrolling Instagram I saw a similar garland so I made this garland for the hutch. (It’s going to look a lot better when I hang it. Please use your imagination.) 🥰 Next week I hope to show you when it’s hanging in the She Shed.
Thank You
Honestly, these past few weeks have been a little challenging when it comes to finding things to post about. Life has slowed down, and being more stationary has meant there isn’t always much to report. So if my recent posts have felt a bit scattered or all over the place, now you know why. I’m giving myself some grace and trusting that once I’m more mobile, everything will begin to flow again. Thank you for hanging in there with me!
