Thanks. I have someone coming twice a month now and figured out how to get my trash out to the street so that's progress. I'm in my favorite part of the country!
They have to reserve a place at the local hospital. I opted for that because of the other health issues I have. So it could take awhile before they call me.Cataract surgery has come a long way over the years! You'll do fine.
When will your first eye be done? Prayers.
My husband and I both have very small cataracts in both eyes, it will be a while before either of us have them done. But we don't drive at night anymore. The car headlights and the street/business lights absolutely blind me, plus they all have twinkly halos.
I haven't seen Crepe Myrtle in years. It's very beautiful. I love Dutch irises but haven't planted any since we moved to the Midwest. I've never had bearded irises. I went absolutely daffodil crazy when we bought this house but they're at the far back of the property so I can't see them from the house. All my flower pots are out front so they'll be easy to water when the blasted 80 and 90 degree heat arrives. I melt in hot weather.
The wind blows millions of maple seeds into my front yard from my neighbor's tree and every June a cottonwood tree benind my property sheds. What a mess! Another problem is volunteer mulberry trees. I like the dogwood trees I planted in my backyard: my favorites!
Yes dogwoods are by far the most beautiful trees. I’ve only see two in the wild. The branches make such amazing sprigs all covered with flowers. We had a rug with dogwoods.
I love crepe myrtle!
But it's all stitched up, and gooky and puffy. Stitches come out Thursday. Thankfully it's to the point I can drive to church tomorrow.
Oh, my goodness! I pray that your eye heals nicely.Our crepe myrtles are suddenly in over abundant bloom. Guess it was all the rain and now hotter weather. I have squash, okra, Kentucky Wonder beans, yellow wax beans and southern peas in the garden. Picked the remainder of the beets. Have a few onions left.
What do you do with your lemon grass? Is it easy to grow?
I had eye surgery on Wednesday. Had a biopsy done about seven weeks ago on my eyelid that showed basal cell carcinoma. Doctor said there've been studies that show some will not grow back or spread as our white cells tend to attack the cancerous cells after the trauma of cutting. But it looked like it was beginning to grow back -- there were some deep cells on the biopsy. So he removed a strip of my eyelid, up and down, and sewed it back together, from the bottom of the lid to just below my eyebrow! No further cancerous cells found.
I thought we were moving har enough north to escape this!Oh, my goodness! I pray that your eye heals nicely.
I'm extremely impressed by your garden. What are southern peas?
I know lemon grass is an herb, but I only grow it near my porch to repel the mosquitoes.
I can hardly stand this hot muggy weather.
I've never had crowder peas but they look good. I started making Hoppin' John right after we got married and my husband liked it so it became a New Year's tradition. My mother never served it. She raised one of my brothers to be picky like she was! I didn't know how incredibly picky she was until long after I married!
