The Yellow Lady’s Slippers along the back drive had one early bloom and four late ones…so there were five in total. In 2012 there were seven blooms.
This year there are four…
and this one makes five.
We have been working on our woodcarvings that are Christmas Ornaments. They are coming along.
Jen had a 8mm kidney stone blasted yesterday, hopefully the particles are small enough to pass on their own now. She was resting…and Handy Andy will be taking good care of her.
Far Guy is feeling better, he still has a bit of a cough. I am feeling better except I am still real tired. So I rest and nap.
Very sorry to hear about Jen. I know that is painful. Prayers for each of you to feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that finally FG is feeling a little better. I was worried about him. And you seem to be back in your usual blogging routine, so that also makes me happy. Life is good in Minnesnowda. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your daughter is feeling better, that's one honking big stone, it's good that it's gone. And I just read about your deer, could you imagine it going home and saying to it's deer family, I just jumped over the weirdest thing...

Best wishes to Jen for a quick passing of that stone. I understand they can be very painful. Glad both you and Far Guy are recovering. Tell Far Guy that cough can hang on for quite a while. Just keep resting a lot and eating right, both of you. Your bodies have been through a lot lately.

You remind me that I have to get out and see what's left of the Lady slippers here.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, this has not been a good Spring (health wise) for the FarSide family. Praying that everyone regains good health SOON.
ReplyDeleteThe good news is you are still recovering even if it is cutting into your summertime fun! However you are still being productive and may not feel the Christmas rush as much this year with the year start on the ornaments. Other than being tired, isn't it nice to have your schedule where you CAN sleep when you want or need to? The clock doesn't matter as much since you don't have to be at work! Sure hope Jen passes her stone quickly so she can enjoy the fine weather, too.
ReplyDeleteThe year of 2000 was a rough one for us with my mom in and out of dialysis - - - - and 1984 after the birth of our second child - - - lots of health problems one on top of the other. Some years are definitely more difficult and we don't want to repeat them - - - for any amount of money.
Ouch! Poor Jen. Hoping for a speedy recovery for her--and for all of you!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty ! Glad to hear all are getting better ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good weekend !
ReplyDeleteThe Lady Slippers are so pretty. Wish I could one. Hope you all are well soon. It is no fun to feel bad every day.
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys are getting back to normal. Poor Jen, I hope they blasted them good and she's back on her feet in no time. Those stones can be very painful I hear. Love the lady slippers and I hope they aren't dying out on you.
ReplyDeleteWild orchids and Lady Slippers - so beautiful! It has been a very long time since I have seen any of our native Lady Slippers. I fear they are almost extinct.
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers! And glad to hear everyone is on the mend - at last!
ReplyDeleteI am glad the yellow ones are sort of holding their own. I hope all of you get to feeling better, faster.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you both are on the mend! I'm glad Jen got that blasted stone out!!!
