I believe what you are seeing are the cages I put over tomatoes when we had a garden. Saved on having to tie the plants up.
Sounds pretty good. I talked to my sister this morning and she just had one eye done and the other eye will get done next week. So far, so good.
I just got home from seeing the eye doc and she said it looks real good and better than most. I go in to see her again after a week. Vision is still blurry but that is to be expected. I will continue to wear the shield for the next week but only when sleeping. Hope your sister has a positive outcome as well, Dennis.
75 and sunny you say? Bah! Go back to drinking your beer. No winter prep on a day that isn't even mildly fall like.
No heavy lifting for a while. Ask about the pressure in your repaired eye. One of those drops is a steroid. In my case, it caused the pressure within the eye to increase. Similar to glaucoma. Other drops were prescribed, and nothing came of it.
It kept snowing; they have 18 inches on the roof top of New England now. Ski areas are starting to open...skiing anyone!
Pressure in my repaired eye was checked today and it is good. I am using 3 different drops now but I will drop down to using only two after a week. I have been told to get in to emergency if things start going sideways. I know I am not supposed to do any heavy lifting for at least 2 weeks. That is why I was pushing to get all of my blocked up wood split and in the shed before surgery. Nice to be 3 years ahead and now running a more efficient stove.
Katie is a snowboarder, but then again she is from New Hampshire where it is against the law for a New Hampshirite NOT to ski or snowboard. We have a house located 8 miles from Mount Washington, but have yet to get snow there yet. I think snow is going to hit today though with the North-Easter that is slamming us.
I'm assuming she rides an alpine deck with hard boots considering some of the shoes we've seen her wearing?
That is all greek to me, but it sounds about right for what her board/ski boots look like. She has had offers to buy them but gets mad at the $75 offer. new Hampshire girls get right into their snowboarding/skiing. Me? This is Maine. Football teams? Nope, never even had a football team until 2 years ago. Hockey? Nope, too expensive to build an arena, but by goodness we have a woodsman team!
Not a real southern boy but I figured it was time to get some wood up near the door for chill-buster burning. I went after a couple of 8' rows that have been stacked a couple years, next to the quad path. I knew I had some River Birch (smells good burning) and some Red Elm, but I'd forgotten how much other stuff I'd also mixed in along the way. Left half of this stack against the house is Red Oak from a different stack, right half is from the quad path stack, containing Pignut Hickory, White Oak, White Ash, Black Cherry, soft and hard Maple. The stack on the porch is mainly River Birch, which burns about like Cherry. There's still a bunch of Dogwood I left at the quad path, I'll use that when it's colder out. .
