another day

so today I went to see my cardiologist - came home with the monitor for 24 hours.  seems like my heart racing which sometimes feels like it could just jump out of your chest. looking into why my blood pressure keeps jumping from the lows to the highs and back.  if nothing comes out of that well then onto the doppler and ct on the head. have been told I'm a bit ditzy!
one good thing got home before rush hour which can make a stress free day turn into one of roadrage day at times. just go with the flow.



under the capony of clementis

hummm...checking on a new bleeding heart that was coming up in the garden ...it's m.i.a.  do squirrels like the bulbs? if so - adios. but that won't keep me from planting a replacement one way or other I will win. maybe.

Bubba

Bubba, was recently diagnosed with kidney failure...

down time

something Bill & I hated to hear especially when he's the kinda of kitty that is so easy going and the protector of the others in the house.  Bub loves to pick your purse and whatever else that is not nailed down.  Many times had to find glasses, cell phone (have no idea how he could carry that off - go figure).  can hear him hollering with a toy just to drop it off at your feet for a "good Bubba" and a head rub.
 

OH NO!!!

Well it finally happen my hard drive went kaput on my laptop. did not I repeat did not backup any of this.  just crymeariver.  my photos of my orchids that finally decided to bloom were on it -a great pic. of Mom & Lulu together.  but hey I'll take new ones. just remember most of Billy's pics. of his truck was on it.  oh well.......I'll break the news to him later!

the weather has been great in fact heading out the door to do some planting.  later.

where has the year gone?

cannot believe January is already over with, it just slipped away from me! And February is waving itself goodbye -til next year! and another birthday has passed too!

I'm ready for spring, hurry up please.  another cold and miserable winter here in the gulf coast of Texas. but, really can't complain this past week was nice and warm in the 70's & today in the 80's!  yes that's the kind of winter I love.  spent the days working the beds for new plants since the hard freeze zap the oldies but goodies.  and the heat of Texas can kill the rest.  not a winning battle.

ready for road trip with Allene in April we're heading to San Antonio and see what's new there...haven't been there for awhile.  hopefully staying on the riverwalk. take pictures of course. eat our way down the river to the Alamo. good ole tex-mex food.

later ....peace
 

rambling

Merry Christmas to all...

Christmas Eve. Raining, cold front just came through, looks like Christmas Day will be cold this year. very quite night.  missed candlelight services, Billy recouping from surgery.  midnight mass always gets me into the mood.
