Trying to get back in the flow.

This year has been full of woe.
Three trips to hospital for major operations. I'm slowly recovering my energy.
I went out to try to revive my pot plants. The bigger Desert Roses survived. Some of the smaller ones died. I spent a couple of hours watering and moving out the pots with no plants. I will have to set more seeds to refill the empty pots.

I have to relearn how things work. Things have changed over the past eighteen months. I tried to upload a photo. I must have to down size them.

I have been doing a lot of crocheting of rugs. I had an over supply, which I made from wool left over from other projects. I bundled them up to take to the nursing home for the oldies. The staff were pleased to receive them. I have another one to take up when I go to visit a couple of my friends.

Alice. A friend I used to take shopping and other places has moved into the home. She felt she no longer was able to care for herself, her home and garden. She moved in on the day of her 97th birthday this year. Another friend moved in last year. The two of them are a couple of rooms away from each other.

I think I'll go rug up. The beautiful sun that has been out all morning has been replaced by overcast sky. Just because I watered the plants outside the rain is likely to fall. The last time I did the watering a heavy sower came to over water my plants.I lost a couple I was caring for my friend next door. The seedlings were flattened by the large drops. The they were hit by a cold snap.

Dangerous tree goes

Image
Neighbors have watched this tree with each approaching storm. Afraid it might fall on their homes. The way it swayed. And bent to the winds fierceness. The Magpie watched them cut down the tree. The pair usually nested there. Sat there to watch for me to open the shed door to swoop down for food. To watch for the postie to come deliver the mail. Stranger they know should not be in your yard. The job took two days to cut down and chip up the limbs as they sawed them off. At least everyone will feel safer with the predicted stormy weather to head our way.

Vertigo

I have been slow lately at working, one because of the freezing weather, two, because my Vertigo and Tintus (Noises in the ears) have returned at the same time. It was a strange way that the both returned at the same time. Very frightening. It happened one night the brain didn't want to shut off because I'd been working on setting up my webs, writing a story for my writing class, all kept rattling around in the brain. I went to roll over from my warm spot to relieve some aching muscles, as I rolled my brain was telling me there was no bed there and if I kept going I'd fall over the edge of the world, a picture of stars and open space flashed through my head, there was a sensation of falling into nothingness. Squeezing my eyes tightly closed I rolled back to where I started with heart pumping hard and fast, took deep breaths to calm the sensations racing through the body while with my right arm I moved it over the mattress to make sure the rest of the bed was still there.

Poem

Imaginary Scene Eyes Closed. Eyes close, darkness enfolds, Rainbow colors flash, disappear, Wind whistles, grass sways Snakes slither, mice hide, Birds cheerfully sing, hawk soars thermals, Parrots squabble, brawl for nectar, Bees buzz gum flowers, honey to make Sticky amber honey, pollen makes, white wax hexagons store hard work, Cow low udder full with milk Headed home release is nigh, Green summer grass now winter brown Crackles beneath hooves red dust stirs, Sun’s orange orb slinks beneath the horizon Days past night comes, Moon rises stars twinkle brightly, Clouds scatter forth rain does follow, Blocks out the light till lighting flashes Thunder rumbles rolls above, Opening eyes I see the hot orange sun, Dreaming is magic when night comes.
