This is the small tree I can see from my kitchen table, where I do all my stitching. I should have gotten a few pictures starting with last week. Next year I will. This tree, in the park, just on the other side of the fence, is so pretty to watch. It starts changing colors in the fall with the slightest blush of peach. It darkens to coral and salmon colors and then to reds. You can see it is beginning to show a few red leaves here and there.
This is a view out by the pond. It is blocked by the fence and tall grasses. You can see the trees begin their change behind the pond in the woods.
The garden is slowing down. Still flowers in bloom though.
I am stitching under pressure. Oh, I will definitely get the Erica Michaels "To Thee My Heart" stitched for our anniversary. I just do not know if I will have time to frame it. I have checked the thrift shops, Michael's and JoAnn for a suitable frame. Next I am going to drive to the closest needlework shop and check. If all else fails, it will be given to him unframed but done. It will be framed. I am also going to get the Pixel People made into a flatfold this weekend. Life is so busy with our three teens. College choices have been made for Jacob, now to apply!
The MRI results showed the same thing as 8 years ago. A slight disc bulge at L4-5. My doctor feels I should go to a pain specialist again for an epidural. I had 3 cortisone shots, 2 in discs and one in my SI joint, 7 1/2 years ago. They did not help me. He feels time may have changed things. So Brian has done research and has found a very good pain specialist. He is rated in the top 1% of the U.S. for pain management. He requires a referral from my doctor. So that is what I am waiting for. The nurse tells me it will not be done and sent until the middle of next week. Aaarrgghh! It is so frustrating, this waiting. Once the new doctor receives it, they will call me to schedule. So it's gonna be a bit.
Well, gotta go stitch now! You all take good care of yourselves. Have a most wonderful day!
Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Oh gosh, I will be sending good thoughts and prayers that the new doctor comes through for you and relieves you of the awful pain. It's terrible to live with constant pain like that.

Good luck with your treatment. Some patients are lucky and it works every time, some not. But it's always worth additional tries until it's the right spot.
What lovely autumn pictures Vickie! I hope that this new doctor will be able to give you some relief from the pain.
I'm going to keep praying for you Vickie (I haven't stopped). Don't worry about shopping for the frame if it causes more pain for your back. I feel like I should also say Spain...lol sorry couldn't resist - frame, pain, spain...get it???
Lovely pink tree and photos.
love Annette
I love those beautiful, rich, Autumnal colours on the trees Vickie.
Keeping you in my thoughts and hoping that the new doctor will be able to help you.
Pretty fall photos.
I hope you get some pain relief soon. My friend had corisone shots for her back and they only lasted about a week.
