Update

I haven’t been good about blogging, lately.  Something has taken the wind out of my sails.  All my hopes came crashing down, and now I have to decide what to do.  I will probably get outside help, as I have shown that I don’t have skills as a bronc rider.  I believe it will work out, but right now, I feel very discouraged.

I am still very sore, but there is improvement.  I can sneeze without groaning, walk slowly without much pain and get up and down from the floor fairly easily—something I have to do a lot with a cat like Thunder.  If I walk fast, do heavy lifting and just do too much, it starts hurting, again, and then it won't stop until I rest.  Sitting can be bad--but sometimes I can sit fine.  It is surprising that I can ride Cole and be more comfortable than any other time of the day.

The amount of rain we have had in the last few months has been incredible.  My garden is the worst, ever.  It just can’t dry out.  I don’t know if I will get much of any produce at all—except beans from the scarlet runner beans I plant in pots on the patio for the hummingbirds.  They aren’t the greatest tasting, but they work fine in a casserole.
