Yard and Garden Over for A While

Not the weather, this time!  It's putting ones foot down where there isn't anything but space and falling, pretty much on your face. 
Jamming the right arm into the dirt, coming away with mud on your shirt.
Good thing I could move, as no one was around. Time for hubbies nap and he doesn't hear a sound.
I finally made it up, my right arm is not working well
similar to rotatory cuff injury from long time ago. Only time will tell.
This happened on April 22 out on the deck
I will find you a picture and show you by heck.
Went to the emergency room where x-rays were taken
I was given a sling as there wasn't any break in
I am not a happy camper, cant' finish what I started
with all the rain, the weeds are growing and that's not for the fainthearted.
Oh woe is me! That's what I say
falling down is not the way
"It is what it is"! I hate that particular saying
I guess it's the message it's conveying
Nothing I can do, just sit and wait.
Wait for the Dr. to call, I phoned just after eight
Can't lift the arm so not much I can do.
How would you like me to hire you?
Vacuuming needs to be done, and the dusting too
I might manage the dusting but the other is up to you
My grass is growing too. I had my son do it last year
I hope he will again. He would be such a dear.
Well, now you know the story about my aches and pains
I hope I never have to write something like this again.
In case you can't read the picture- arrow is where I was going to step up to that level. X is here I landed face in the dirt and hurt!

On Losing A Family Member By Mary J Williams © She may have 4 paws And a tail that wiggles My friendly dog That made me giggle She loved to chase squirrels Until they were out of sight Just showing them Catching them she might I lost this dear friend On February 18, 2024 My little Rosebud Knocked at Heavens door I am going to miss her She was with us for twelve years Every time I think of her My eyes fill up with tears Her other companion Of the four-legged kind Lacy, her buddy Still has her in her mind She won’t come in the room She spent most of her days Her buddy isn’t with her So, she just stays away It’s not been very long About three days is all I’m sure it will be better The good times we will recall So, Rosebud, we loved you With all of our hearts Just remember Rosebud We actually will never part Will think of you often And when it’s my time to go I will meet up with you again  The Good Lord will make it so                              We used my dad's birthday as a

I'm Worn Out!

It’s Nice Outside By Mary J Williams © I thought about the birds Stepped outside the door The sun was shining brightly Which I just adore! I knew I had washing So went down the stairs Transferred wash to the dryer I know you don’t care! I looked at the floor I need to sweep just a bit Went to get the broom My brain did a flip Feed the birds first Seeing as they have none They need some food Get that chore done The can that holds All the sunflower seed The bungee cord is broken A squirrel probably did the deed The cord held the lid down This has happened before Racoons and squirrels chew it Not going to get the lid off no more I finally found one in the basement That would fit like the old one Now that the birds are fed I found another thing to get done Blew the leaves out of the garage Out from the corner of the door Blew them across the driveway Where I will let them store Pick them up in spring After the birds dig through them Finding all the bugs, worms, and insects Among the rottin

Winter-Yard Gardens Birds Critters and ME

Winter-the Yard, Birds and Critters and Me by Mary J Williams It's sort of winter but the weather is mild You can be outside Which makes me smile Weeds were pulled and I planted a seed one was a tree If it grows, it will surprise me I have had fun watching the birds an argument between bluebirds and the Robins I've heard Chickadees flying in and the Titmouse too I grab the camera Then off they flew I have a flowerbox sits on the rail It's on the two by six so falling will fail It also can sit on a two by four but mine just has the space The birds walk through the tunnel and disappear without a trace One time, while filling the feeders One of the tunnels had a bird A sparrow was in there  He ran so fast, he was blurred I love watching them  they think the tunnels fun Maybe they get cool If there's a lot of sun. I have to wash the deck  to try and keep it clean with bird seed and poop Dog pee I mean When it's cold outside Or very early morn The dogs do their business
