Recuperation...and SOD!

Well, I'm doing just fine! I've been back to work already....Monday was a short day: only 1 1/2 hours in the morning, then I went back from 3:30 to 5:30pm. Tuesday was 'doctor day'...went to Medford and had my "post-op" check-up. Doctor said she's really pleased at how well I'm healing--and was surprised that I had returned to work the previous day. Don't worry: she said if was fine to go to work if I felt ok! And, I don't have strenuous physical labor at work...and I'm taking it easy. I'm moving more slowly in the mornings, so not getting to work until about 10:30, but I've been able to put in full days otherwise, and feel pretty darned good!

Our yard was being done while I was in the hospital. We now have "instant lawn", complete with underground sprinkling system! This is the best our yard has ever looked! We had a paver stone path put in along with some gravel pathways, and we had some boulders brought in for interest in the planting area. We are really happy with how things look! I got some humongous mum plants at Costco [for only $15 each!] to put along one side of the yard...they kind of match my old mum plants that have been in the half-barrels for the past few years. We put those on another part of the yard. Things are coming together!

Our exterior paint job starts in the morning [September 28] ! I hope the colors I chose will look good...it was an agonizing process trying to pick colors! I'll post pictures in a couple weeks when the job is done!
