Moving In..

We're in but we're not unpacked. I'm anxious to get y'all some pictures, but I'll bet y'all have all seen pictures of boxes. We got moved out of both storage units and got the furniture moved in and those boxes unpacked. Then Buddy and I ventured out to the storage container and brought up yet another truck load..I'm slowly but surely getting those things unpacked and put away and will soon take some pictures so you can see the house.

As I was walking out the door last Monday to the doctor, they were calling to reschedule due to the doctor being out...so I rescheduled for yesterday...although I called the day before and cancelled it. Being the good nurse that I am (ha!), I decided to take off my cast and start some physical therapy. All is going well and I can see that it's going to take to pain to make some gains getting this hand to working again. In due time...

Here's Buddy working on my kitchen garden. I put herbs down at one end and then planted tomatoes, lettuce and carrots.

And then Harley got to it with her digging holes. All she got was the mint and I think even a little bit of it is trying to come back up.

Here's the back garden before everything was planted and we turned out the chickens. Let's see.. now there's watermelons, corn, purple hull peas, Kentucky Wonder beans, cucumber, okra, squash and potatoes.

Speaking of chickens, they are now 19 1/2 weeks old and have not yet started laying. The nest boxes are ready and I talked to them everyday telling them that they better start getting it on their minds. As a matter of fact, it's time for me to go put them up for the night.

Happy Trails...

Oh My, Oh My

Oh, how I've missed being able to blog and comment on so many of your blogs..but I have enjoyed reading and keeping up with everyone. As you can see from the picture, I've been in a bind..literally. Over a month ago after a torrential downpour, I slopped through the mud to go pick up a chair that had blown off the back porch of the house and I danced all the way to the concrete with the chair. After many tears and much moaning, Buddy talked me into going to urgent care the next day....ah yes, I broke a bone in my hand. My first broken bone...So now I've been adorning this lovely half cast. I go back to the doctor tomorrow for more xrays and will find out if I can get rid of this nasty thing. I must admit, I've taken this off this weekend to do some physical therapy on my hand. My wrist and three fingers are frozen. I figured trying to type would be good therapy. Do you know how often you use the letter "a" and the shift key? Way too many times! Weeks ago I tried pecking out some words but it took me forever and was extremely frustrating so I gave it up.

I am happy to announce that our house is finished and we started sleeping in here three days ago. Yippee! That's another thing that I've just been able to master...holding the camera.

Right now the house is full of boxes to be unpacked. Now, that's a sight! I have to take out one thing at a time with my good hand (which, thank God, I'm right-handed) and put that one thing in it's place...it takes forever.

Anyway, I'm back and will be posting once again and will get lots of pictures. By the way, I'm telling my doctor tomorrow that this cast stays off! I cannot stand it anymore!
