The contrast is strange to watch. So many things blooming here too. I also am in pain -- toothache :( I thought I had it figured out, but alas, no. And the dentist offices are closed! I'll have to find some relief somehow in the morning.M.K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09205619221345704689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-89952312199399439722020-03-27T13:23:49.375-07:002020-03-27T13:23:49.375-07:00I love those sno ball bushes.

I would never have had the nerve to try dying one like that and if I had thought to try it would have dilly-dallied for several days over what color to use for the dye and probably decided just to not do it at all. Must be great to have the nerve to just go ahead and do it!<br /><br />The chocolate vine is amazing. Does it actually smell like chocolate? If so, it would drive me into my stash of chocolate chips every time I passed it.<br /><br />I hate to hear that you back is hurting you so. A couple of years ago I did something (what?) to mine and was really in a great deal of pain. It's surprising to how much your back (spine) moves with just the simplest movement.vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-29879270001218298532020-03-25T17:54:00.274-07:002020-03-25T17:54:00.274-07:00Thank you Pilar.

Once I get over this I've simply got to be easier on my back. That's the problem with a steroid injection...makes me feel like my back is well and I can do anything. Glad you have some spring flowers beginning to bloom. It is dreary and damp here most days. Last night we got two inches of rain. Today has been cloudy, windy, and damp feeling.

I worry about taking Advil. I called the doctor's office and they called in a prescription for 600 mg ibuprofen for me to take for a limited time. Hopefully, this will settle my nerve pain. I've had two steroid injections over the last four years for my back pain (3 herniated disc) but this injection was the most painful. It took the doctor three tries to get the needle in the right place to inject the medication. No more injections in my spine until I have another MRI, and I also want to see another doctor. Thank you Karen.

I guess GM and I are familiar with what something like that would be priced here! The dyeing is great, mutes those greens, and it will go anywhere and with anything now. I'm so sorry to hear about your back. I don't think a constant diet of Advil is good for you either. My suggestion is for you to check out Golden Paste. There is an excellent group on Facebook called the Turmeric User Group, with something like 273, 000 members. There are loads of positive stories of it helping with inflammation. The group was started by a vet, but golden paste is used by animals and people with lots of excellent results. It is made with turmeric, oil and pepper. Love your Spring pictures, and can't believe you already have pears formed on your tree. Our tree hasn't even bloomed yet.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938874724231860923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-32847798569884349062020-03-24T13:05:01.719-07:002020-03-24T13:05:01.719-07:00It has been fun to see what others are up to while...It has been fun to see what others are up to while we are all spending so much time at home. I must admit, though, that I have never dyed a basket. I think your basket is really pretty and what a great idea to change it's color to match your home.<br />I agree, spring has come at a good time this year. It helps to get outside and check out what's coming into bloom. Your snowball bush is gorgeous!<br />I am sorry to hear about the pain that you are dealing with. As someone who deals with sciatica I know how debilitating it can be. I hope you find some relief soon.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-58218285451664875182020-03-24T12:56:43.184-07:002020-03-24T12:56:43.184-07:00Hi Henny...It looks so beautiful already where you...Hi Henny...It looks so beautiful already where you live. I can feel the spring sunshine from your pictures. It snowed here all day yesterday after I thought just the day before how spring-like it was getting. I spent the day cleaning up the woodlot and glad I did now. Tomorrow the sun will be back and the snow can take a hike.Aw Smokey...how sweet you are. And you know what a pushover Poppy is. :-) Cora had her stitches out today so after a car drive and a visit with the vet she is now sleeping in the bathroom vanity drawer. poor love. That's her favorite hiding place. I do hope you are feeling better today. I know arthritis pain and for someone who loves to garden like you it can be a real problem. But I did hear motion is lotion when it comes to arthritis so take your time but take lots of breaks, too.

I wonder if the doctor nicked that sciatic nerve with his needle. I know how much you love to work in your yard and garden, but be super careful about lifting, bending and tugging. It seems that it doesn't take nearly as much to make my body rebel as I get older. There's a price to pay for working or playing too hard. Stay safe and maybe sit on your porch and look at your wonderful yard in all its spring glory. We have blooming daffodils and my saucer magnolia is about to bloom. But we haven't had any sunshine for a very long time so it's hard to enjoy the outdoors. I'd love to smell a chocolate vine. Every year you talk about it and it sounds wonderful. Stay safe in these scary times. Our county has been ordered to stay home unless grocery shopping, going to the doctor or drug store and such. All restaurants, beauty shops, and even our big mall are closed. Take good care of yourself first before you try to take care of anything else.Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309987428045299558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-32610565810298289242020-03-24T06:15:18.277-07:002020-03-24T06:15:18.277-07:00I hope you've made that doctor aware of what&#...I hope you've made that doctor aware of what's happened. To think he was working with your spine! Seems he might need more training, or quit giving spinal injections. How devastating for you.

Golden Raisins soaked in Gin (the gin has to be made with juniper berries) <br />Well, I learned this from Paul Harvey.. the radio host that did The Rest of the Story.. well anyhow.. my husband and I eat close to 12 raisins each night, have been doing this for going on 4 years. We say it helps. <br />Anyhow.. look it up on line. It might be somewhat of a help.<br />Take Care my friend,<br />Carla<br />Carla from The Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107829617899979937noreply@blogger.com
