Well, honestly, since August, 2024 has been teaching me some tough life lessons. In my last post, I mentioned I "rolled" my ankle - nope I fractured my leg in 2 spots. One on each side of my ankle. So....I was wrong...I did need to see a doctor. When she showed me the x-rays she said "you must have a high tolerance for pain" - I've been told that many times in my life.
So, I am still wearing that until Monday....I hope. The doctor said I may need a pin or 2....I hope not. I have had to REST, you all know I can't REST. However, I made myself cancel lots of things so I could stay off of it.
I wasn't up to all of my decorating for fall and Thanksgiving this year, but I did do this little cupboard scape with what I had on the main level of the house.
My bittersweet are loaded this year. I can see them from my kitchen window. Al went out and cut me a few branches.
My friend's nephew, Sammy, made this chicken for me. I love it!!! Sammy, is non verbal, but he speaks volumes thru his art. When I see him, he is like an old school gentleman who kisses the top of my hand. He is pretty special!
We studied Egypt this week.
Al built this nesting box for our chickens. Our old metal ones were falling apart. I bought them at a farm auction 30 years ago. We plan to do a bit of remodeling of this coop in the spring. Al has taken an interest in the chickens and will be doing the chores for me now.
I am also trying to find a good home for my 2 rabbits. With this recent fall, upcoming icy path to barn, I just don't think I can take care of them. I also, have already been feeling guilty with not spending time with them. I have mixed feelings about it, especially the part of my not being strong enough to do the chores. I didn't know I would be this gimpy this fast.
Oh ok, that is where I am at physically and emotionally....but I am still thankful for what I am able to do.
Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.
