It's always something!

Yesterday was my scheduled appointment with, not the orthopedic specialist, but this time the osteoporosis specialist. 

My back is much better, thanks to the the steroid injection some weeks ago. Sure wish that injection could have cured my osteoporosis too. 

This new doctor has suggested I take the Prolia injection twice a year for Osteoporosis. Like all the Osteoporosis bone building drugs, the side effects are horrible. I just hate having to make these decisions.

Thanks to a little squirrel who buried a seed in this potted white beauty berry bush, we have a sunflower. 

Wondering too if anybody knows what this is. It has a pretty white bloom that looks a lot like bridal's wreath spirea, but smells absolutely horrible. It has lots of berries this year for the first time. The berries turn almost black when ripe.

It's been a while since I've posted anything about the old cupboard my cousin Patty gave me a few years ago. I love this old cupboard, more than any piece of furniture we have.

Since Patty gave me the old cupboard, I've cleaned and dusted and polished it many times, thinking it was getting the best of care. Well, guess what? Those teeny tiny bee-like bugs have been drilling and eating away at the old wood. 

Something had to be done, and quick. We searched on line, then Poppy ordered a product called Tim-bor. I mixed a 1.5 pound bag of this Tim-bor powder to one gallon of water and with a paint brush saturated the entire cupboard. This product soaks into the wood and kills those tiny insects and protects the old wood from insects for several years.

Yikes, when the cupboard dried, it looked and felt like chalk. Then I opened the can of Tung oil, and wow!

It looks more beautiful than before and this is only the first coat. In 24 hours another coat can be applied.  I was seriously worried sick about the cupboard.

and now, my kitty cat picture of the day...

This Bickett makes me laugh. He gets is some of the strangest positions to sleep. Looks like he needs his face washed.

Better go put all the animals to bed for the night. Thank you for visiting. Don't know why I've had such a hard time posting lately. Hope to be right back with something more interesting.

Love,
Henny
