Look it Got to 50!

I have spent most of day taking it easy, my back is still giving me trouble. Although i am happy to say the temp did reach 50 degrees today! I prefer the 60's but i'm not going to complain it's much better then 35 yesterday!

Hopefully it will start warming up and my back will let me get out and enjoy life. I"m sick of being stuck inside and eating everything in site ... until next time ....

007

009

Yes I’m still down in the back big time. Yesterday i went to devotions with the ladies but barely made it through and once i got home it was back to bed on the heating pad! Ughh this back!! I spent my entire afternoon and evening in bed and most of this morning. In fact i am posting from bed right now.

This is pretty and they have showed on TV that there are some pretty happy kids .. but my back isn’t liking it and I'm so ready for sunshine!!

A Day of fun

009 I felt better today so I got up early and got dressed and got my laundry done. They are predicting rain and cold for the rest of the week and i was concerned how the back would hold out since it’s been giving me fits. Of course doing my laundry wasn’t fun but a job that had to be done.

012 After lunch the fun started. The sun was out and it was a bit on the windy side but tolerable. I was sick of being stuck inside and needed to get out. Hubby and i went to see the piggy’s and they were all basking in the sun.

Of course once mama started yelling they were up and in a mad dash to get to her first.

013

It was so cute to watch them scramble and trying to get through the fence to reach mama. It brought back such wonderful memories of our farm days when we used to raise piggy’s.

014

Later it was back to Ms. Southwind as my back was starting to ache and sting again. Ooops it wasn’t ready for a laundry & an afternoon of fun. I decided today to open the dash curtains and check out my flowers and i just had to take some more flower pictures … LOOK!!

015

This White flower is some type of annual that i planted in Florida and then took it with me when i left. It’s planted in with my rose bush. I was shocked today when i seen it had a bloom.

017

I knew my geranium had several buds but look how beautiful it is … i am so enjoying these flowers this winter. From now on all my flowers will stay indoors for the winter months. Look what I've missed out on by leaving them outside to fend for themselves.

Still down in the back!

Ughhh i guess i over did it this weekend because i woke up in the middle of the night to go potty and wow, my back is spasm and hurting big time.

I spent the entire day Monday in bed or on the couch on a heating pad. Although i couldn’t of done much of anything else because around lunch time the rain started and it poured buckets. In no time Ms. Southwind was surrounded by water and the poor dogs even had to jump out of Ms. Southwind into about an inch of water. My rug was floating.

Today i have felt better and picked up a bit but i am still taking it easy. My back is very tender and still stinging and burning so until it lets up i will be spending all my time resting inside Ms. Southwind

Hope your all having a good week and until next time …

My weekend

Saturday i had to do laundry. So I spent my morning getting it washed and folded. Later in the afternoon a trip to town to get weekly groceries was in order as well. That night was spent resting as my back is still giving me trouble.

Sunday i got up and went to church after church i went out for lunch at Ryan’s. I don’t believe I've eaten at Ryan’s. It was good but bit on the pricey side in my opinion. Although conversation and fellowship was great. Ron, Dorothy and a new couple Dale & Mona.

My evening was spent doing absolutely nothing and no i did not watch the super bowl as it wasn’t on any of the local channels that i get on the tube.

I am very excited for the Saints and glad that they won. Sorry Colts fans.

Hope you all had a great evening and until next time …

Look at my Flowers!

006I haven’t felt good this week, the weather is a bit on the cool side for me and my back has me basically stuck in bed. Ughh I did take a few pictures of my flowers. Look how much this one has grown since the last picture i posted (1-22-10). The best part is look at all the buds on it and I'm so excited and can’t wait til see the blooms. I’ve had this plant since Florida and it was given to me by a friend who said you can’t kill this one. Well he was right so far. My rose bush has a few buds on it as well.

002

The red blooms have been beautiful on this flower and now the pink ones are blooming ..

003 004 005

Look at the difference a few days can make .. Look at this exact flower now ….

012

The pink blooms have exploded and it’s absolutely beautiful .. and there are more buds that will be blooming soon. The Texas sun has been good for my flowers. I’m keeping them inside until the chance of freezing temps are gone. It’s made all the difference in my plants.

Today was a beautiful day with the sun shining and temps warm enough to open the door. Although they are predicting a bit on the cooler side again soon. I’m ready for winter to be over and for the sun to come out and dry up all of this rain.

At least i am feeling better and hopefully tomorrow i can get my laundry done and Ms. Southwind cleaned up. Hope your having a great one and staying warm … until next time ….

Still Down in the Back!

I have been down in my back all week long. I have spent the entire week so far in bed and doing absolutely nothing! The weather Mon & Tues was a bit on the cool side .. high 40’s to low 50’s and last night the rain started and today it has rained most of the day and there is a water all around Ms. Southwind and a pond in front.

Until this back let’s up i am stuck in bed. Unfortunately this ole back has to remind me it’s in control and still there.

Hope your week is going better then mine and until next time…..
