Where's My Flowers????

 Last year my clematis looked like this. This year I have only seen a half dozen buds.

They have not bloomed yet. Keeping an eye on them.  I need to get some plant food for it I suppose. This year I am once again sticking fake flowers in the containers on and around the porch. I do have some Pachysandra growing in them, which give the pretty green color.
  Ted was to have chemo this week. He had his blood work yesterday and they said one count was too low and they put the chemo off till next week.  I have a dentist appointment next week also. When it rains it pours. No breaks.It's disheartening.
  I have been edging the brick walkway here. Too hot for me to do it all at once, So I am 2/3's of the way done. Slow but sure I guess. Ted did get home in time to mow yesterday before the rains came. He can mow if he wears a mask. I do not want him mowing if it's too hot though.  He enjoys it , because it's about the only work he can do. Good thing it's zero turn mower. 
   Hope all of you are well. Please try to stay that way. Staying healthy is our full  time job these days.  Keeping you all in my prayers. XO

I Am Back....

 I am hoping we are back on line. I just made  a post and had to delete it. The neighbor man called and ask who I was. I said my name and he said I think the phone boys mixed our lines together. Oh great. I am not having those men back here. They can do their work outside.
   In the mean time,. I am praying for all of you. Ted and I are well so far. He will be getting more maintenance chemo next week.  Stay strong and safe. Always be smart. XO
