It was a messy week. The weather was messy. My schedule was messy. I had a day of spills on Wednesday including a cup of coffee that jumped out of my hand and I am STILL finding sticky coffee splashes in unexpected places.<\/p>\n

But today, Saturday, after a messy start of freezing fog and snow flurries…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The sun came out!<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Beautiful. Only 18F, but beautiful…especially in the warm sunroom.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I know. The number of herbs have dwindled…by more than half. And the rosemary and basil are not looking especially good. The parsley looks thin as I’ve been using a lot of it but I think that it and the chives may survive my gardening skills.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Just outside the sunroom…the herb graveyard. I have high hopes that the lavender, spearmint and peppermint will revive in the Spring as I put them out during a week when it was above freezing and told them to go dormant until June 1. We’ll see. I am not surprised, but I am a bit disappointed as the herbs gave the room a nice feeling. But I am not disappointed enough to go buy more and subject them to my not so green thumb. I WILL try again next year :) !!<\/p>\n

Bear’s back end as he checks for critters…and a close up is coming in case you’d like to leave now…<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I was watching Bear watch the game trail and noticed his legs. They are positioned the same and he is bearing his weight equally on both – hurrah!! No odd angle and the foot on his surgery leg is solid. <\/p>\n

The walking conditions have deteriorated this past week and we’ve not been able to do the distances prescribed. But we are out and about and I call him in the house now and again to get him up and walking. All continues to progress well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
