We had a lilac bush that had gone off-kilter (or should I write, all catawampus?), partly due to broken branches due to that nasty but short-lived winter ice storm back in April.
Sue asked our ex-sil if he would help us prune it. Sure enough, he and JJ came over and set to work.
==================
In other news, I think I have more or less figured out the lights-in-cars of which I posted yesterday. I think the sun is so dull that it is hardly lighting up the atmosphere, but it's central beams were enough to poke through and cause little spotlights.
==================
And . . . if you are reading this after 9AM, Wednesday, there is a good chance that I am already out of surgery, but the plan is to stay in overnight. Maybe I'll even post from the hospital bed tomorrow. We'll see about hospital wifi, however, as I don't have a phone plan that gives me a ton of cellular coverage.
I hope that it all went well in surgery. I look forward to hearing about it in an upcoming post. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope everything went well and here’s to a speedy recovery! 🤞👏
ReplyDeleteAll good thoughts are with you, AC, that all went well with the surgical procedure, AC, and that you could get a good night's rest afterwards.
ReplyDeleteLooks like grandson and ex-SIL made a good team in helping with the pruning chores.
Fabulous lilac trimmers they were! Careful to wear protective equipment too. So glad to know you're getting fixed up and will have relief from those problems. Looking forward to hearing how it went, and how many nurses you had to fend off from flirting with you! (When Sue was out of the room of course.)
ReplyDeleteNice job! Good luck with the surgery and post-op care.
ReplyDeleteGood luck and I hope it all works well this time.
ReplyDeleteHoping for the best from surgery! How wonderful that they came over and did so much trimming and cutting work. Wasn't JJ a little kid when I first started reading your blog??
ReplyDeleteHope it is a successful procedure and a speedy recovery, AC. Take care!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with your surgery.
ReplyDeleteGood to have such helpers. What a vrew!
Good wishes on a successful surgery and fast recovery.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you. I hope all is going well (and that the smoke abates,) Interesting phenomenon, the 'lights in cars.'
ReplyDeletemy best wishes for you.
ReplyDeleteI am not good at pruning. I wish I was better at it myself.
ReplyDeleteI hope your surgery went well….. and after you recover…. no more need for a damn catheter!! Wishing you a very speedy and comfortable recovery!!!
