Thankful Thursday

All I have Need of ....
"6-9 months" ... He said, Well that was 11 Months ago. All I have need of.
Some Insurance company's only allow a one time use...
"The approval came through" She said...
Bi-lateral Synvist injections begin this morning. so for the next three weeks, once a week I will be having injections in both of my knees.
I have the films for my low back and right hip.
The Dear woman who has gone to task with the Insurance and set up all the flow got me in this morning to see this very busy surgeon and receive the injection.
All I have need of...
My sweet friend will come for me and drive me this morning.

"If you have the implant this year and the crown next year the benefits will cove at $1500. cap per year." You have excellent Insurance they will even cove a good percentage of the procedure...
She said.
Tomorrow morning the procedure begins at 8:30 a.m.
I am going to opt out of the going to sleep because I know that I would get very sick if I take all those pills on an empty stomach.
It will also conserve $300., but the risk of vomiting is my deciding factor. I will as Dash prayed..."practice courage and be brave".
My Beloved is taking the day off to take care of me.

All I have need of...
His hand has provided.
My heart is greatful. He calms the storms and quiets the waves of fear.
All I have need of.
I sip a warm cup of coffee.

Time is approching and I have shaved my legs and put on a red outfit to feal a bit more powerful.
God bless you all!
Catch ya later.
Loving you.

Tackle It Tuesday

Good Morning!

After tackling 2 pain pills I had a 13 hour tackle of my pillow.
Sleep does a body good.

The garden watering was cared for by a delightfully divine thunderstorm that lasted all night.

Can you see the little white wing dove in the picture. She walked around the house to the other side peacefully.

Off to the west the storm has already dissipated.
It is still dark in the East. I am hoping for a nice cloudy day.

The bails are well soaked as well as the plot.

This morning I awoke to the warning call of May Bell (Mabel) the chicken. She was frightened of the feeder. I watched her and she was warning all the others. I went out and moved it but saw nothing. Then I heard the large flapping of wing and looked up but saw nothing. I think there may have been a hawk on the roof above me.
Good ol' May Bell sounded for us. :)
She is the one standing on the feeder.

What a wonderful good soaking.

The girls are in the wet. I need to put out a spot for them to sit.

My dream in tacked.
The children set out these things to collect rain water.
I find it easier to teach children than Mr U. sometimes:)
He is not quit sold on the rainwater harvesting idea.
I learned that in Colorado it is against the law to collect rain water.
I would love to begin this system.

Today will be a day of balence.
I will gingerly care for my knee today. It is very tender.
When you hit your elbow and it just is agony for a moment while it goes away. my knee hurts that way but it does not fade.
I am taking a good rest.
My garden has been watered so I will do simple easy tackles.
I made beloveds lunch easily, handing him that $10 bill I had in my purse.
I think I may do the same for the children today. My leg is most important!
That is what is nice about conserving as a normal way of life. Once in a while if you buy out it is a real treat. For them and for me.
The children are giggleing and playing sweetly.

Day of rest

Hello!
We had a wonderful play date yesterday. I really enjoyed taking Dove to her girl friend.
It is with misfortune however that she lives on the 3rd and 4th floors of an apartment complex that has no elevator.
Well needless perhaps to say that cortisone does not really help much of anything except inflammation. The bone on bone is awaiting the Synvisk approval from the insurance company, I am in a world of hurt.
I had to take Dash his hearing aides this morning and stumbled upon a little girl who had locked heself in the running car as the mother who was raging at her stomped and cussed. The dad came and cused louder and more angroly at her and the door was unlocked. The kid followed me down the street and the mother was raging at the child.
I spent my morning praying for the little girl.

I took a pain pill as I cried myself to sleep and another after the kids had left for school.
So ...not wanting to let a day go to naught, ...I tore up newspaper and separated out the glossy paper and the coupons.

Only the news print is going in the compost.
I am going to put all the glossy in the recycle bin.

I sat with my leg up all day!
Tearing up newspaper for the compost.
I was able to get all but about 6 inches of the paper torn.
The in laws sent all the newspaper my way.

I got a lot of coupons out of the lot.
I thought I would keep and eye out for the item we might use.
I would use them if the items were on sale or reduced already.
I doubt that I would hunt after any of them.

We had a wonderful rain storm.
God watered the bails and the garden for me!
I was so grateful to him for helping me in my efforts.
We will be having a menu this week. It is in my head , not yet on paper or tyed out.

I hope all of you are having a great day.
Amrita I will try to do a post for you on the bail gardening.
I am going to go lay down a few moments before beloved is due home.
The pain pill is making me steepiy and the pain...
Well the pain is attempting to whittle down my reserves.
Bone on bone hurts! My knee is cracking and popping.
I can get in tomorrow if I want to. Not much use in it unless the clearence comes through for the injections. That is more pain then it would get a lot better.
Pain with gain.
:)

(CNN) -- A dog sheltered a newborn baby abandoned by its 14-year-old mother in a field in rural Argentina until the boy was rescued, a doctor said Friday.

The abandoned infant was found in a field with this dog and her newborn puppies.

A resident of a rural area outside La Plata called police late Wednesday night to say that he had heard the baby crying in a field behind his house.

The man went outside and found the infant lying beside the dog and its six newborn puppies, said Daniel Salcedo, chief of police of the Province of Buenos Aires.

The temperature was a chilly 37 degrees, Salcedo said.

The dog had apparently carried the baby 50 meters from where his mother had abandoned him to where the puppies were huddled, police said.

"She took it like a puppy and rescued it," Salcedo said. "The doctors told us if she hadn't done this, he would have died.

"The dog is a hero to us."

Dr. Egidio Melia, director of the Melchor Romero Hospital in La Plata, said police showed up at the hospital at 11:30 p.m. Wednesday with the baby, who doctors say was only a few hours old.

Though the infant had superficial scratches and bruises and was bleeding from his mouth, he was in good shape, Melia said.

The next morning, the child's mother was driven by a neighbor to the hospital and told authorities that the 8-pound, 13-ounce infant is hers, Melia said.

The teenager was immediately given psychological treatment and was hospitalized, he said. She has said little about the incident.

The child has been transferred to a children's hospital in La Plata, 37 miles away.

Appreciative of the kindness and love you offer.

I am sorry I am not commenting back as much as would be gracious. I am neglecting all of you a bit in that. I really am appreciative of the kindness and love you offer.
Often when I go visit I find my self speechless and just pray and then don't actually leave a comment. I am so sorry for being rude. These last two weeks have caught me up in doing all those things that summer defers for when the kids return to school.

Good Evening!
We had a nice sleep in this morning.
Daddy Man and the Children went to the picture show. I hung back due to a headache.
The thought of loud theater sounds did not amuse me.
I stayed mostly in my bedroom putting away my things from storage.
I matched all my earrings with my necklaces, I also color sorted all my earrings on the screens.
It was quiet and peaceful. I really enjoyed seeing my nice thing again.
After a while the Tylenol made my head feel much better.

I had my fill then took of with the list I had made of the seeds and plants I wanted to acquire at the garden center. I had a wonderful time there. I remembered to take my sun hat. A very sweet down to earth knowledgeable man helped me to make good choices between seed or started plants.
These are the seeds..

The tomato (for canning) is for the bails under my bedroom window, there are 4 inch and 6 pack as well of differing varieties. Under the tomatoes I will plant the dill in the rocks, and the flowers close to the sidewalk and patio. The bails near the plot will house the lettuce plants and then I will add other 4 inch ones that will come in the fall. The peas and blue lake beans will be trellised under the kitchen window. Root carrot, and beets will be near the house in the plot. Radish under the peas, broccoli and celery to the left of the center path in the plot.
The sweet pea flowers will go by the kitchen sink window in the bird habitat.

Here are the plant left to right. Sweet basil, oregano, tomatoes...early bird, 100's cherry, yellow pear, lemon ? an heirloom , ? and a grape type. Purple basil, zucchini and crock neck yellow summer squash

I have 6 days yet to plant the bails.
We are going to trellis the cantaloupe and the squash, growing it more vertically to conserve the plot space.

We all met at home and had some time together. Shared a cup of coffee and some u tube. Beloved and I went to the yard and the kids played in and out. Mr U. Made the perches in the attic of the coop and I cleaned it well and added more straw. We moved the coop tractor and mowed . I treated the bails with the 24-0-0 and watered it in real well being careful to educated the kids ammonium sulfate can burn.
We composted part of the lawn trimmings (not where the dog dung is we toss that out) where it is clean. Dove came and watered the plot with me and the children and I feed the chickens some greens and held them a while.

Daddy man is having the children watch "fiddler on the roof" and teaching them about culture and history. They are loving the song and dance. Laughter and questions are bubbling out of the room. Very cute.

Well I better go shower of this hot day.
I am so excited to get to plant the squash and herbs.
