OUCH, this is ME now




Well, I'm back from visiting my mom. I really had a nice visit will her. Mom really doesn't believe I am her daughter, but she wishes I were. I corrected her for a while, and then I just play along, as us being good friends who really love each other. ❤

We did some fun things and helpful things, like food shopping, few meals out, visiting people and a little shopping for pleasure. Mom brought a lovely watch and insisted on getting me one too. I will have to show you next time, no photo at the moment.

So, I got home Friday night, it was so nice to be back with my "Honey" and Jack! Then on Saturday I did a big food shopping because, daughter, Amy and her boyfriend and Leroy the dog were coming for the long weekend. (Martin Luther King Day). Does anyone else feel like they are contently at the food store? I do for sure!
Well, we had lunch, chatted, and decided to have a nice walk before Lasagna dinner (which I had made earlier in the day)

Look what happened and then I will explain


 A Neighborhood dog came running full speed into my right knee! OUCH! Oh, it was painful. So I fell onto the road and everyone came running, meanwhile I am just waiting for the pain to subside. I have to be driven down the driveway and carried into the house. We immediately iced the knee and ACE bandaged it up. This dog did not steer away from me,  just plowed right into me, he is a black lab and still a wild pup, so it was just an unfortunate accident. This all happened Saturday evening, so Sunday morning we had to go to the ER. My leg had swelled up during the night and I could not put pressure or walk at all. After x-rays and visit. I am happy to report no breaks, but I will be seeing an Orthopedic doctor this week, after swelling goes down, to see if I have a tore ligament. Oh boy, what a nuisance. I can't believe this.
I was then completely taken care of and spoiled with flowers.


                                                  AND Balloon

                                                   WHOOOO doesn't love an OWL


                                                    I was given Wine.... sure to help!


                             Homemade Calzones were made, before baked, veggie and meat.


 So I will be having a lot of time to work on my Grannies! Also worked on while visiting Mom.


 I leave you with Leroy and my TWO ANGELS who helped me through this ordeal.
❤Thank you Amy and Andy❤



I will let you know how I am doing, can't wait to get up to date with all your blogs I have missed. Thanks so much for visiting and listening to me. I enjoy your visits and lovely words. Thank you and hope you are all well and enduring this strange winter!

"Not Again"!

Hello my friends thank you for stopping in, its great to see that you are visiting!

Do you remember this time last year when we had a guest visiting us and stayed for quite some time. Really was quite bold I must say. Well, it has happened again.....and in the most inconvenient residence.



Here take a look

                                     See this deck chair? Well, wait till you see the next picture.





Right on the chair seat! What are we going to do? We have waited so long to have nice weather to be outside and now this. I don't know how it could have happened so quickly.




                     First there were 2 eggs and then the next day 3. (didn't get photo of that)


                                          Today there were 4 eggs. What am I going to do??
                                                          What would you do? Help!!!!!!!



I was able to get a photo of the mommy bird seating on her nest from inside the house looking out.
Oh, forgot to mention, it is a Robin again.



Here are some home photos of some gardening and straighten up over the weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It could not have been any nicer.


                                         Flower basket with nasturtiums, lobelia, and daisies




                        Small herb container, more to come.     curly parsley, rosemary, basil



                                                                              Pansies




                                                          Cosy spot, great reading spot





                                                         Another cosy spot for rocking




But back to my dilemma, what to do, do I move the chair, anything else would make the mother never come back. I am sad because I think if we want to use our deck, the nest has to go. But I don't want to do that............suggestions please, what would you do?






Mr. Owl and I and Jack, of course, say good bye. Hope you have some comments for me and my predicament.


Thanks for stopping in, xoRobin❤
