Another very lay-low week for me, I have this hip issue still and it is only a wee bit better but I have a plan! It's called Hip Flexor Tendinitis, so you can google it up...if you wish. I actually did this while trying to hook up my trailer when it was loaded with the limbs of the Ice Storm we had back in February. I planted my feet into the ground and Pulled....NOT smart. Trailer did not move, my bones, tendon, and muscles did.
Another thing I did wrong was try to get back at it too fast...I had a relapse...I was stretching, and doing too much walking and pushing myself, because Im impatient. BUT what I was not doing was listening to what my body was saying. So I am limiting my daily activity...using RICE --Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. Well I can't compress my hip but this flexor tendon goes all the way to the knee so I compress that when walking, and I can elevate my hip when reclined by using a pillow...AND no more stretching till it heals.
How could I possibly think I could budge that heavy trailer, (maybe 10 yrs ago, yes) Im currently having to use not one, but two canes, in order to walk without searing pain, and that is part of my plan to stop denying I don't need some assistance...like the cane! At least till this thing heals..Meanwhile I have watched most of the hearings, or listened to them in the background while I worked on some internet projects....I for one am not surprised as I stayed on top of the news in real time....But I will say if heads don't roll we MUST Demand Justice!!
Tulip Poplar Tree
The weather was up and down 100's then 80's and so I did go out on one day...Didn't see a lot but I will share what I found..
On that day the community was having a kayaking event...and these people enjoyed some time on the water...
Very Colorful...
And more color in the Painted Buntings,
They were busy feeding on the tall grasses, the young are out the nest and out in the world now,,,
The Bee Balm filled the air with that wonder aroma and the bees were so busy on it who can blame them?
This Eastern Bluebird really showed off his wings and tail in this shot while grabbing a bug from the ground...
White against blue as a Great Egret flew over...
Some dragonfly were out and I was happy they sat still for a while...
Back at the homestead here is Mask I don't think she has birthed yet she is getting bigger she may have twins!
She was watching some friends near the fence line, one of these does has her fawn already but I could not get a clear shot of him I could not tell if this doe below is Tulip...could be.
Got come cukes coming on in my Fort Knox Garden...
Unfortunately the deer attacked my plants and they took a beating...so nearly all of the ones I shared last week that were not under lockdown got hit pretty hard
Good thing it will grow back.
