Reins

The rain continues, as do my exercises. I'm getting bored and feeling a bit isolated, a good sign that I'll be ready to take up the reins again. Put the TENS unit on my arm last night, and played mahjong on the pad. At one point I wondered why my hand was aching - I'd forgotten that I'd broken it. Another Good Sign.




Got out and weeded, mostly just the prickly-seed grasses. The thyme and mint on the verge are doing very well, the mint already spreading. Golden roses starting to bloom, the old pink roses once Hedge Engulfed, are going nuts, covered in buds, not an aphid in sight.

The yard waste bin, unused because I compost, is now full of water. That's 90 gallons. It will go on the garden, gradually. I used that before we got rain barrels, and it seemed a shame to waste the rain since the barrels are well full.
