More on Horticultural Therapy

Man! I just spent about 10 hours messing around with a temporary file that was causing a blue screen crash on my laptop! Talk about time consuming!!!! ERG! I finally got things back under control and ran full scans on everything I could. Honestly! I can't keep up!!

So much of what we do is on line anymore and, as a caregiver, I don't have time to stay abreast with the latest and greatest. Prayer comes into it a lot of the time. Nothing else explains how I get all of this done!

I took a movie with my digital camera of Ryan weeding and prepping his horticultural beds for seeding. I think he got every single weed! They look great and I was so proud of him. Unfortunately, our neighbors have a lot of garbage etc in their lawns that shows up in the background. We're putting up a privacy fence this year and that will help tremendously. Ryan says he doesn't feel safe out there and insists that he won't go out there alone unless there's a privacy fence. We all have our little pecadillos so ... the privacy fence will go up in the next month or so.

I want the backyard to be Ryan's private refuge, a place where he can be as disabled as he needs to be, you know? He wants a swing and a paddling pool too. Both have to do with sensory stimulation as well as just getting outside and "playing." It'll be sooo good for him to get outside and move a little. Since my hip went wonky on me I had to quit walking and when I'm not walking neither is he. Seems like we've both gained weight. Blech.

Hope your Saturday is filled with fun, friends and family.

Much love and joy,

Karen
