Happy Spring with all its mud, frogs, and singing birds.

Happy Spring. Our gardens are a muddy mess. I walked to the garden shed and picked up my covered pail with all my gardening tools. I have high hopes of cleaning up the herb garden, perennial garden and Evelyn's front day lily garden.  I plan to take it easy, slowly at first and she how I do. 

The Ukraine war is still going strong and the Russians are committing war crimes every day.

Stay focused on simplicity, patience, and hope.

 

BEAUTY IN A DEAD PLANT AND RUSSIA COMITTS WARCRIMES AGAINST CROATIA

I am overwelled by this illegal war.  Putin is a very sick human being. no wonder Trump wanted to team up with him.

I seek beauty in small items around my house. I see beauty in dead plants, sun reflections, and colors. 

This year, I had two complete knee replacements  and team that with covid ; it is safe to say that I spent a lot of time at home, inside, isolated and lonely. 

The healing process started in June with my left knee. In September we cancelled our trip to France for the fourth time. So in October I had my right knee done. Healing is hard process. You have to go slowly, take 100% of your time to heal, take naps, and exercise. The June knee, I was lucky to have our backyard deck to hang out in. October was harder because of the snow and ice...kept me locked inside.

I read big books. I watched documentaries on PBS, and used my blessed ice machine.

Would I do this again. Yes, I would. The pain in my knees are gone, I can walk, I can stand up straight, and I hopefully this summer will ride my bike again (once I clean the two inches of dust off of it.)

Ten Days of Russian Bombing of Ukraine

My head hurts and my soul is exhausted. Ten days of violet unhuman bombing of Ukraine by Russia.

Covid was bad enough, but add this on top of health issues, this blows my mind.

A mad man is out to grow and control as much territory that he can. He cares not about his soldiers being killed, starving the Ukrainians', or any public negative thoughts.

His plan is very clear, fight, control and take over at all costs. He hopes Trump runs in the next election so, that he can spread his neo-Nazi ideals and thoughts.

My heart shutters in fear of this unknown possibility. 

Evil exists in human nature. Why does it always come out to destroy human beings? Why can't we all get alone in peace and love.

Love should be the answer. Not war, not hate, and not this craziness.
