Saturday Blog Shoppers

It's Saturday again, and you know what that means! The Saturday Blog Shoppers are offering deals and sales!!! This Saturday and Sunday enjoy 10% savings on anything in my shop, even on goods already on sale! I still haven't seen the surgery bill, and now I'm going to PT, so those doctor bills aren't going to stop anytime soon. Please write SBS in the notes to buyer, and I will refund your 10% pronto! Thank you for shopping customdesigns4ubynan, and click on the link to the other SBSers!

On Thursday I was feeling strong again and my knee hardly hurt at all, so I went for my first walk in WEEKS around the neighborhood and took pictures of one of my favorite things: blooming plants.
















It's a pretty old neighborhood, and many trees are at least a hundred years old, towering high above the houses with enormous trunks, some as much as 10' diameter. The sewer system was put in during 1930, and when you think about it, that's 80 years ago, and some of the houses have been there longer than that.






















On the way back I passed the Memorial Library, and took these pictures, too. There are other reminders of 9/11 in the neighborhood. It seems like everyone knows someone who lost someone that day.























Finally, home again, home again. I ran into my next-door neighbor and she took this picture of me. All was well, except for the blister, on my right foot, of course!
