Snowwhite100's Journal, 25 May 21

Sat on a bucket and trimmed 11 small rose bushes that run along the sidewalk that goes around the front and part of the side of our house. We are on a corner. Some people have a split rail or picket fence for their roses. I only have the roses, no fence. But being spring the flowers are so pretty and cheerful. I pushed myself too much, because even though the bushes are small, I still have to lean forward to trim the dead roses, and that just tears up my back. I think I am expecting too much of myself because it has been less than a week that I haven't used the walker to take a walk. Then I held onto my husband's arm. Yesterday I walked (before trimming roses) about 3 short blocks and back by myself.

I so want to go to our cabin in the mountains to turn on the water for the small planter and one tree it feeds, but the 2 1/2 hour drive (if no Los Angeles traffic)sounds like too much. And I may have to do the driving since my husband is dizzy most of the time. I drove to 3 doctor appointments for him a week ago even when it was tough.
