Word Press ate my thoughts… I had rambled about being in the “still” and added a photo and when I hit publish all I had was a title.

I finally added a new photo album of photos “In The Secret Garden” to my photo gallery. There’s still many to edit and add but I hope readers will check out the album here: The Secret Garden.

Last night I removed the bandages on my left hand and now the real healing has begun. I am able to use my hand more readily and easily and the incision will now complete it’s healing process before the stitches are removed. I am able to type, but taking it easy. I probably can drive, but opting to just stay put at home enjoying my Merrimack River view and perennial garden from my desk and my peaceful back yard.

The stitches come out a week from today. Back to work the following day. I’m going to use this time fully to heal so I have 100% use of my hand in the weeks to come. I’m so glad I had this done and look forward to another surgery in January to repair my right hand as well.

It’s been a peaceful time here at home in recovery mode and I am grateful for my daughter Juliet, and her boyfriend Ben who have been so much help.

This luscious blue hydrangea blooming along High Street in Newburyport caused me to stop the car a couple of weeks ago…

I have been reflective of late…

Thinking about the process of weeding…

I’ve had great success this summer with my first perennial garden as I mentioned in a post below. Yesterday I spent time weeding, dead heading and watering in preparation for the heat wave heading our way. I’m so happy to live in apartment with a lovely yard that I can garden in…

During my 19 years living in Los Angeles I was limited to potted plants outside of my apartment door on the walkway. Although they were all beautiful, it just wasn’t the same as creating a little garden paradise that is lush with the beauty of summer…

It’s no Secret Garden… but it’s mine…

This is my first perennial garden and I am enjoying the flowers of my labor.
