My dahlia post that I published on the wrong blog in the middle of the night is now lost in cyberspace. Sometimes it is easier to start over than backtrack.
Many strange things have happened since my hip replacement. My head is still spinning. When I tell folks about the events they ask if I am still on pain medication. The answer is no. The craziness could be from the eight nights of insomnia. I am laying low today since it is Friday the 13th. I feel like the universe is messing with me!
I am stuck on my decks for a while longer until I am more stable and all the railing has been installed. My daughter fell up some steps last week. We live on a hill, so there are few flat spaces and steps are everywhere.
I have watched my dahlias from afar. No watering, weeding , deadheading or feeding.
Here they are. Their success is a testament to the soil prep and the staking I did in April before my right hip gave out and I jarred the whole left side of my body stumbling down some steps as I wrestled with a hose.
I hope this post makes it to you. Thanks Susan for letting me know that the booboo was worse than anticipated.
FLOWER is going back to bed. I am too tired to handle any more mischief.
Happy Friday the 13th!

I am pacing myself well. The insomnia is better, but not gone. My legs jump around quite a bit.
I am doing my best. Thanks Rebecca

Great to have these lovely dahlias to look at while you recover. Get better soon! I love D. Firepot. That one really glows.

They are even bigger and better after cooling and drenching rain.
I hope I can get someone to cut some and bring them to me for a vase. Thanks Frogendweller

Your dahlias are huge. I was hoping for some good news on your hip replacement as I have to have one. Unfortunately, I ‘m only hearing bad things.

The news would not be so bad if I had not stumbled down steps 3 weeks before surgery.
I do not have a good leg to stand on!
Also, I have heard that the anterior incision type is a quicker heal. Mine is posterior.
The railings on all steps near the house will be installed next week.
We have been here 34 years…about damn time, Honey
