for the last few days I’ve been watching the flickers on the roof of the garage enjoying the berries on the Virginia creeper… it has been a nice distraction as I go up and down the stairs, still using the cane…

they seem to gather around this time of year to fill up on ants and berries before heading south…

the other interesting thing about them is although they are woodpeckers, usually I see them on the ground, or in this case, on the garage roof…

been thinking a lot of our dear friend Margaret…

she was my parents’ neighbour and our good friend since I was about fifteen…

I remember our Chinese food parties on payday Fridays… my beloved and I would go over and mom and dad would come from next door and we would have a delicious dinner…

she enjoyed the girls when they came along and loved spending time with them…

the cane I am using belonged to her…

I can remember saying to her later in her life “you have to put the cane on the ground, not just carry it”…

lovely memories…

slow…

been pondering how life can change in the blink of an eye…

there I was on Saturday, going for a walk, and then suddenly unable to walk…

luckily I am recovering very nicely, but spending five hours in the Emergency Room and having to use crutches for just three days has opened my eyes to difficulties that others face…

I expect a full recovery… I am now using a cane, but just for a short while, as my knee improves… and I’m able to take the time to recover properly…

of course I have to remember to take it slow and steady, lol…
