Like you I come in and once the cool air hits me I don't have the energy to get on line.<br />I do miss everyone and wish I could blog like I use to.<br />Your gardens are gorgeous. Especially that azalea bush. Huge and so lovely.<br />Too hot for our azaleas now. They bloom here around Easter and then some bloom in fall.<br />I totally understand about worrying about your arm. I too have the same problem and if something is going to scratch or bite me its usually in that arm. So glad you watch it carefully. I too run for something to doctor it with as soon as it happens.<br />Glad your son was able to come to the rescue of the calf. I tried to picture it and I would of been worried sick trying to release her.<br />Your stories are always interesting and I love hearing and seeing what you are doing.<br />Forgive me for my lack of visits. I keep saying I am going to get better and I do hope I do.<br />It was fun coming by tonight.<br />Love ya<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-9465352501579001452013-06-04T18:05:56.792-03:002013-06-04T18:05:56.792-03:00You certainly deserve to have a boring day or two ...You certainly deserve to have a boring day or two after that one!

You do work so hard. It does make you wonder with livestock how they get in the circumstances they do. As you were describing it I could see it in my head and it made me remember times when silly cows and calves would get themselves stuck and you had to dismantle things to get them out. Your giant azalea is huge. I have never seen one that big. I know your peonies are bigger than anything I have ever see or I might add ever grow. I know you get lots of rain but you can sure grow things.<br />Try and rest if you can and really Julia, vacation? What is that? <br />Have a wonderful day. Yes, you know Ron would build me a table if I asked. I just wouldn't :) Bye for now my friend.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-37626316123059243562013-06-02T16:39:48.897-03:002013-06-02T16:39:48.897-03:00Your azaleas are beautiful!
