Pink Gardening

Good Morning my friends! How are you? Enjoying summer? I hope so. I saw the PA on Tuesday for a recheck. She said it takes a full 6 to 8 weeks for the  final results of the nerve ablation. It is very inflamed in there I am told. She was encouraged that my pain level has been a 1 for several hours at a time for about 4 times so far.

I have been out in the garden. That would explain the smaller amount of stitching getting done. I am close to a finish on the 50ct Friends Are Like Angels. I will show you a picture of the two (28ct and 50ct) together when I am finished.
Did you expect pink garden gloves and a pink trowel? ;) The oxalis plant in the upper left and lower right has beautiful pink and blackish leaves. I cannot remember the name of it. I have kept it alive indoors over winter. The flowers in the lower left are Bittersweet William from the chocolate garden.
These are three different shades of pink yarrow I have. ♥
The poodle topiary is doing well. =) I think the begonia is called Dragon Wing, not positive, I have had it for years. Can you spot the grey poodle in my dish garden in the lower right picture?

My friend Chris is having a 200 Followers Giveaway. Go check it out. It is pink wonderfulness. ;)

I plan on stitching some more today. I have been able to use the treadmill in 15 minute increments again. Hooray for me! I had forgotten how very nice it feels to have low pain.

May every single minute of this day be blessed by the Lord for YOU! Thank you friends for stopping by to say hi! Hello new friends.

Stitching and praying,
Vickie
Henry is a bit confused from pictures during nap time. Mabel sleeps on!
