Hope no one minds, but I’m just going to ping the list to last weeks thread. Enjoyed reading last weeks posts off and on for a minute at a time today.

Lemon tree is blooming and smells so good. Turmeric is growing, and aloe is desperate to be transplanted.

Have had some computer problems. Still having trouble sitting anywhere other than reclining. Xray had good news and bad news.

No fracture or herniated disc. Significant demineralization-expected due to long term hyperparathyroidism. Degenerative disc disease all along spine, and some spurs. Worse in lumbar area. Dr. has ordered MRI.

Chiropractor has helped. I can now stand for 5-10 minutes without major pain. Sitting is the worst. I have been catching up on kitchen cleaning 5 minutes at a time. Doing a little walking, and stretching exercises.

Bathroom tile is done except for the utility/water heater area - door to that will need to be shortened. Work on green house continues. The concrete patio area where the new footing will go has been busted out.

Trench has been dug, and holes are being made. Holes will be finished tomorrow, and forms set maybe. If work permits, concrete pour on Monday. Getting ready to sit in tub and get muscles warmed up for evening stretches, then heading to bed. Will check back Tuesday to see what going on.

Hope all is well with everyone. Have a great weekend. Prayers up for all. God Bless.

Our first rain dumped almost 3 inches in less than 24 hours on Thursday which was truly a Blessing as shrubs were starting to wither. The garlic is not up yet but I expect it any day to show some green through the rice hull mulch. Looks like the tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers are done for the year and the pumpkins produced only 5 very nice ones. Wife’s sister is visiting from Colorado and they will cut up 2 or 3 pumpkins and steam them for pulp next week...
