Wondering where this month went to, and then... I know! It went by so quickly because every moment was spent enjoying, and soaking up the colors around us.
This October has had its share of excitement!
 |
| Two carpal tunnel surgeries, one on Oct. 5 and the second on Oct. 19. Both went very well, and my recovery has been wonderful. So thankful to everyone who prayed for me, for those who brought food and for everyone who helped in every way they could. I am so very blessed! I still have weakness in both my hands, which makes doing much with them harder, but I have no pain! For that I am so very thankful, both surgeries so far a success! It will take 6 months to a year for me to have a full return of strength in my hands. Patience will remain a virtue I'll need lots of! |
 |
| I had a tea party one afternoon with a dear friend. |
 |
| As we shared our lives with each other, such a beautiful presence of the Lord was with us, as we enjoyed hot tea and simple finger foods. |
 |
| During our tea, a strong wind came up. We prayed that the wind would not cause damage. Shortly after my friend left, a neighbor came to tell me an out-of-control brush fire was headed towards our home. Family and friends began to pray! A scary few hours ensued, but thankfully these brave firefighters put the blaze out and all was well and safe! |
 |
| A birthday dinner for my husband was enjoyed at our local Mexican restaurant. |
 |
| I had ordered a large box of tulips, crocus, and snowdrop bulbs from Breck's and they came the day after my surgery, so one afternoon my husband planted them for me, while I watched. So thankful for his help and we will enjoy the efforts of his hard work come springtime! |
 |
| Because voles in my garden are a problem, I am trying a new tactic. I sprinkled sulfur over all the bulbs, covered them with some dirt, and sprinkled some more sulfur over the top of that. I am hoping the nasty taste will deter the rodents, and keep them from snacking on these bulbs during the winter months! |
 |
| Riley and I have enjoyed many walks since my surgery. I can't do much around the house, but I can walk! So we have been enjoying the gorgeous days outside walking. |
 |
| I rode with my husband one day as his work took us along a gorgeous route full of fall colors. Amazing colors and views we enjoyed together. |
 |
| An afternoon drive captured these gorgeous sights. |
 |
| Sometimes I pinch myself that I really do live in this beautiful place! |

Linda mesa e cheia de delícias. Feliz semana. cumprimentos.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Sandra, I do appreciate your kind words and visit...so happy to meet you!
DeleteOh wow we on the brush fire, how scary. Marilyn, you always make smile with your lovely posts, thank you sweet friend. Keeping you in prayer.
ReplyDeleteIt was a few scary moments for sure Linda, you're so thankful it all ended well! Will be praying for you with your upcoming surgery!
DeleteWhat a month you have had!!! I am so glad your surgery was successful and pray that the strength returns even faster than you think it will.
ReplyDeleteI have had such good luck with Breck's bulbs over the years. I never heard of using sulphur but I have used pepper in each planting hole and that seemed to do the trick. I can't wait to see pictures of that blooming next Spring.
What a lovely tea party but so scary about the fire! With fire you just never know what is going to happen.
Happy Halloween night to you- I hope the rest of your week is blessed. xo Diana
Thanks for your prayers for my recovery Diana! I am doing very well and I'm so thankful to have them both done! I hope the sulfur trick works for my bulbs oh, I guess I'll find out next spring! Appreciate your visit, blessings!
DeleteGlad you are healing well, Marilyn. I enjyed your video. So many beautiful reflections there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marie I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
DeleteMarilyn, I so enjoyed this post today. The colors of fall have been absolutely stunning this year haven’t they? I know that we are having snow forecast this weekend ,and although I should be happy about it I’m sad to see fall end. Your tea party looked lovely, but what a scary way to end the day with a brush fire! I’m so glad the firefighters were able to put it out before damage to your home. I’m also glad to hear you’re healing well. The thlips will be gorgeous come spring. If those nasty voles don’t get them. We struggle with those at our lake trailer too. Have a lovely evening my friend.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
Thanks for your sweet visit Betsy, I do hope that the voles do not mess with my bulbs over the winter! Hoping that we don't get too much snow this weekend, not quite ready for it yet, LOL
DeleteMarilyn, you have had quite a month! I'm thankul that your carpal tunnel surgeries have gone well. And to go from one extreme to the other with having a tea party one minute and then learning that there was a wildfire headed in your direction the next must have been hard to grab hold of. I'm so thankful that the firemen were able to stop the fire before it made it to your property. Thank you for the beautiful, beautiful slide show! You have it all there...the mountains, the water and gorgeous trees!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and I'm glad you enjoyed the slideshow! It truly has been a beautiful fall here! I'm recovering well from my surgeries and am so thankful to have it behind me! Thank you for your prayers!
DeleteMarilyn, for someone who spent most of the month without full use of her hands, you sure accomplished a lot and weathered a lot. I think that your positive and uplifting attitude is the key. You see everything as a grand opportunity and chance to engage with your beautiful surroundings and friends. You have so many blessings, but I wonder if your perspective isn't the true blessing in your life. You have inspired me to look at things in a different way my friend. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim, your kind words mean so much! I am always inspired by your words too, so the feeling is mutual! Appreciate you and the joy you bring to blogland :) Hugs to you today!
DeleteGlad both surgeries went well. This truly has been a glorious fall in the Pacific Northwest. You have lots of beauty around you to enjoy. What a blessing to have community that is willing to help out when needed, too. Hope your healing continues to go well.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful to have the four seasons here in the northwest, and this year the fall colors were amazing! My healing has gone so well, and for that I am very thankful! :)
DeleteSo happy you are healing well Marilynn, continued prayers. Take care and don't overdue.
ReplyDeleteYour fall video is spectacular, from sunshine to cloudy skies.
I absolutely love tea parties with special friends.
Blessings,
Sue
Thank you Sue, I appreciate your prayers so much, my recovery has gone so well, and for that I am so very thankful. The tea party was wonderful, I hope to do it again very soon! Hugs to you today :)
DeleteMarilyn, your post was lovely with all the tea goodies! Praying for complete healing from your surgery.
ReplyDeleteThanks Regina, I have appreciated the prayers so much, and I am so thankful for the quick recovery that I have had! God is so faithful :) Hugs to you today!
DeleteYou've had a lot to go through this month and I know you are ready for a new month and healing to continue. The tea looks lovely and I'll enjoy the video of your beautiful photos. It's gorgeous there in the Fall, that's for sure! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt was a very busy month for sure but a good one! My recovery is going so well, and for that I am so very thankful! This was a glorious year for fall colors, indeed! Appreciate your visit :)
DeleteGood to hear that your surgeries were a success. I had mine done quite a few years ago and have never regretted that choice.Beautiful scenes all around.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that you had such success with your carpal tunnel surgeries! I believe the surgeries were a success, and my recovery has gone very well, for which I am so thankful! Appreciate your visit :)
DeleteGlad your surgeries went well. Two in one month! Your tea party looks so pretty and special. I've always wanted to have a tea party. The fall colors in your pictures are beautiful, and in your last post too. You do live in a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteI've found having a tea party with another lady or two to be a very special time of fellowship. I hope you do get to have one :) The fall colors this year were glorious, but winter has arrived quite suddenly here! Such is life in the northwest :)
DeleteYour photos are so beautiful! You had a good month, even with two surgeries. Glad you are seeing improvement. My husband had carpal tunnel surgery about ten years ago. He healed well and has had no further problems. Praying the same for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers Mari, they have meant so much, as well as the encouraging words about your husband's surgery! My recovery has gone quite well, and I'm so thankful for that! Appreciate you dear friend!
DeleteSo thankful that your surgeries went well. PTL for no pain. Rest and enjoy your fall and winter, by spring your will be healed and ready to plant your garden. Thank goodness the fire didn't reach your home. HUGS sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteSo many things to be thankful for indeed! Appreciate you Teresa, and continuing to keep your mother in my prayers!
DeleteA very busy month. I LOVE the look of your tea party and am so happy that your surgeries went well. Hope you feel better in no time.
ReplyDeleteAmalia

Thanks for your well wishes! I have recovered quite well, and while I still have a ways to go, I am thankful so far that all has gone so well. I appreciate your visit, and hope you are having a lovely weekend :)
DeleteStunning scenery!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got your carpel tunnel taken care of....but, oh that looks painful. :(
The first day was the worst of the surgeries for both hands, and then after that, it got easier every day. I'm so thankful to have it behind me! Appreciate your visit and kind words! :)
DeleteHappy the brush fire didn't cause a problem for you.
ReplyDeletePraying you continue to improve and enjoy those walks and rides.
Thank you Sylvia! We are so very thankful for it all too! Appreciate your visit :)
DeleteI think the Fall colors this years are the best I've ever seen! Your pictures are some of the proofs.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and prayers for a complete healing. You have been well care for and next Spring you will reap some of the beauty from it.
Yes, now I can't wait for next spring! It will be wonderful to have full use of my hands again :) Did you get any of the snowfall event this weekend?
DeleteMarilyn, your slide show was such a treat. Wow, what lovely colors you've enjoyed this season! Ours are just now coming out, so will enjoy them soon.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are healing so well, too, my friend.
God's blessings!
Thank you for your prayers Martha, they have meant so much!! I hope you are enjoying this weekend away with your husband :)
DeleteYou have indeed had a month of different things in your life. So glad you are healing. Asking the Lord to give you full strength and sooner than you think. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteI appreciate those prayers Cindy, they mean so very much! My recovery has gone very well! Hugs to you today :)
DeleteGood morning, dearest friend, and Happy November! I hope this month is filled to the brim with special blessings and sweet joys just for you :)
ReplyDeleteYour October was indeed full and filled with many different things. Praise God the fire did not hit your home. What a scary time that must have been!
Your tea party with your friend was simply lovely and oh, what beautiful pink tea cups :)
Thinking of you and wishing you a most glorious day. Much love to you!
It was a delightful tea party Stephanie, and I used some of your pretty handmade tea items to dress it up :) You are always an inspiration, and such a blessing. I am looking forward to the big reveal on Wednesday, so much fun :) Much love to you today dear friend!
Deletefor healing and safety, friends and tea parties, we give thanks.
ReplyDeleteblessings to you, Marilyn ...
Yes, and amen Linda! So very thankful!
DeleteQuite a month over all indeed!
ReplyDeleteYes, Idaho is gorgeous to be sure. I miss living in Utah and wish I could stay where I am and live there at the same time!
Keep healing up!
Yes, it is hard to love two places so much, and have to choose between them! I love your pictures that you share on your blog of your sweet little cottage too :) I appreciate your prayers and do hope that you are feeling better after your surgery too! Hugs to you today :)
DeleteYou did have a very busy October, girlfriend! I am so glad you are pain free and will pray that the strength returns quickly! Your photos are just SO stunning...so many gorgeous golds in your area...thank you for sharing your video. Can you even believe it is November???
ReplyDeleteIt truly was such a glorious fall here Debby! However, winter has arrived with a vengeance, two storms back to back, lol. But, it is the northwest, after all! HA! No, I can't believe it is November! And turning back the clocks tonight, it is hard to believe that the year is almost over!
DeleteSo beautiful!!!!! Love your tea party snapshot.
ReplyDeleteI've found tea parties to be a thing of joy and sweet fellowship, I hope to do it more! Hugs to you Chrissy :)
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tip regarding voles. This year my problem was slugs! They over took!!!
We are receiving snow today. I was so happy I got all my dahlia tubers and gladiolus dug last week.
Thank you for sharing your beauty.
Carla
Slugs, oh my goodness, I've heard that they cause such havoc. I am hoping the sulfur works! We are in the midst of our second snowstorm of the season, quite early for us here. Glad you got your garden put to bed in time! Hope you didn't get too much snow :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful blog you have! It looks like October was indeed a busy month for you. The tea party looks lovely! And praise God for His protection over your home during the wildfires! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca for visiting my blog, and for your sweet and very kind words! Tea parties are such a sweet time of fellowship, I hope to do another one soon. And yes, the hand of the Lord was quite evident as the fire did not cause us any damage. Many other places in our area were not as lucky and suffered damage. I give the Lord praise and thanks!
DeleteSimply lovely! I am so thankful that the firefighters were able to stop that fire. Praying for a full recovery for you my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbie! I certainly appreciate the prayers, the Lord has blessed my recovery, and I am doing strengthening exercises now. Appreciate your visit... were you ready for all the snow we got this weekend? Lol...
DeleteI love the title of this post, a perfect way to describe it! My sister visited from San Diego recently and she was overwhelmed at the fall colors here in Seattle. We are blessed! And BTW - your pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy, it is great to meet you, and you are right, the fall colors here this year were so amazing. However fall ended abruptly with the arrival of winter, with two storms back to back. Such is life living in the northwest, lol!
DeleteOh October sure was exciting for you :D but so thankful that you are doing better after both surgeries :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your prayers, they have certainly meant so much to me! I am recovering quite well, and now working on strengthening my hands. October certainly was an exciting month :) Appreciate your visit!
DeleteYour photos, as always, are so beautiful, Marilyn! How thankful you must've been that the firefighters were able to contain the fire. I am praying for quick healing for you, dear Marilyn. Hugs and blessings are sent to you....
ReplyDeleteThank you Kitty, your kind words and prayers mean so very much! We are so thankful for the Lord's many blessings this October!!!
DeleteHere's to a November filled with lots of blessings for you and more strength in your hands! The photos are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you AnnMarie, appreciate your prayers and well wishes! November started out with a bang, two snowstorms back to back, lol. Hope you have a lovely November as well, and I wish you the best with your new antique storefront :)
DeleteMarilyn, I am so glad that the fires didn't come too close to your home. How scary! Praying for your wrists to recover completely. I am so glad that you aren't in any pain. xo
ReplyDeleteThank you Gina, your prayers mean so much! I have had no pain, and now I am working on strengthening my hands, which will take a while, but the recovery has gone very well! Appreciate your visit dear friend!
DeleteSuch beautiful photos, Marilyn! How scary to have a brush fire come so close and thankfully the fire-fighters were able to put it out. Your tea party looks so pretty and I will pray for continued healing from your surgeries. Happy Birthday to your Husband and Happy November! We are expecting snow, too. Sending hugs and blessings your way. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen, it means so much to have your prayers, and my recovery has gone very well, for which I give the Lord praise for! The tea party was such a sweet time of fellowship, I hope to have one again quite soon. Happy November to you too, along with all the snow it has brought with it, lol!
DeleteHi Marilyn! My goodness, you have had a busy life lately! I'm so glad your surgeries went well, I hope the pain and lack of movement you've experienced will be a thing of the past.
ReplyDeleteThat fire scare? Oh my gosh, that must have been such a harrowing experience! I am so thankful that you were spared. God bless those firemen/firewomen.
Yay to your husband! I hope that sulfur takes care of the varmints. And I'm so jealous of your fall colors. We really have very little going on here, it was just too warm a fall to encourage the bright colors of leaves. At least I can enjoy yours :)
Blessings,
Ceil
Ceil, your kind words mean so much, I appreciate your very thoughtful comments! Yes, October was such a busy month, and we have so very much to be thankful for! I'm glad you enjoyed the fall pictures, however, fall has been ushered out the back door, while winter has taken center stage, stay tuned, lol! Have a lovely weekend my friend :)
DeleteOh, what a glorious treat to look at your video and listen to that beautiful music. Stunning photos, Marilyn. So thankful you are recovering from both your surgeries and that the bushfire abated. An even more beautiful November to you, lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you sweet Kim for your lovely words and kind visit, how I am treated to such joy when I visit your site, all the beautiful flowers and creativity you show. Such a treat for the eyes and soul. I appreciate your prayers for my surgeries, I am recovering well, so thankful for that. Our fall ended abruptly with two winter storms back to back... I will enjoy coming to your domain for my color fix for the next few months :) Hugs to you today!
DeleteSo glad to hear your surgeries went well and that you are now out of pain. It must be a challenge to go slowly, but you must be so thankful for the change. Your photos are just gorgeous, and I would never tire of living in such pretty landscapes all year long. A bit scary with the wild fire, but how fortunate we are to have the firefighters there so quick! Have a wonderful weekend, and hopefully maybe only a dusting of snow?? Oh well, it brings the Christmas season in so prettily ;)
ReplyDeleteWendy
Nope, not a dusting of snow but rather a dump, lol! However, it is just so pretty, that I am loving it, even if I am still in a bit of mourning that fall is over. I appreciate your visit Wendy, and am thankful for all the many blessings October held. Trusting that you have a blessed and lovely weekend yourself :)
DeleteHappy November! Glad your surgeries are behind you and praying you heal quickly. Love the scenes of fall. What a sweet tea party; it is hard to believe Thanksgiving is soon to be upon us. Glad your fire didn't damage any of your buildings-I came from Santa Rosa Ca and the devastation there is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Hugs,
Noreen
Oh my, I felt the pain and fear of Santa Rosa the day the wind whipped the brush fire into action. How terribly fast fire does move, and what devastation it causes! Praying for the folks there in Santa Rosa, so tragic! Appreciate your visit... we are in the midst of our second winter storm here this November. Such is life in the northwest :) Hugs to you today!
DeleteSo nice of your husband to plant those bulbs for you. Enjoy being a princess! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm dragging it out as long as I can, lol! It was nice of him to plant the bulbs, and he will enjoy seeing the blooms in the spring as I will too! :)
DeleteSo thankful the fire did not come too close to you. Praise God! Also praise God that your surgeries where successful and that you are well on your way to healing. How wonderful for friends to come and help with meals and also a tea party...that is most healing...fellowship of dear friends. Loved the pictures of October in Idaho. What a beautiful place!! You do live in a beautiful part of the country. Thank you for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteOctober was indeed a month of blessings in so many ways, and I am grateful to the Lord for His provision of help and prayers, so very blessed indeed is how I feel! Appreciate your visit Pamela, and praying the Lord blesses your weekend :)
DeleteGlad to see your surgeries have not deterred you from enjoying the season and with your helper, you've even gotten those bulbs in the ground. Voles -- they ARE awful! How scary about the fire - I've never been in something like that but after watching all of the wildfires and how quickly they move, it's miraculous that you were spared like that!
ReplyDeleteYes, it was the hand of the Lord that stopped that fire, I truly believe that! The fires move so fast in dry pine trees, and I just am so thankful that it all ended well, the Lord is so good! Appreciate your visit, and getting to know you better, hope you have a lovely blessed weekend :)
DeleteSo very pleased to read that your surgery went well.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and saying prayers for your continued healing.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan, I appreciate your prayers so very much! I hope you are having a lovely weekend :)
DeleteGod bless you as your hands heal. Your photos and the video are gorgeous. How special to have a tea party with a friend. So thankful for answered prayer that the firefighters were able to put the fire out. I'm thankful that you and Riley have had nice weather to enjoy walks together. Your Mexican dinner for your husband's birthday looks delicious. We eat Mexican out about once a week. Wishing you a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteWe love to eat Mexican, and mostly I cook it at home. It is a rare treat for us to eat out as my family tells me they prefer my cooking to dining out, but it is nice to have the rare evening "out on the town" to celebrate a birthday :) Tea parties have become such a way to have sweet fellowship, I hope to have another one soon. Appreciate your visit, we are enjoying a snowy weekend with two back to back snowstorms to start November off with, lol :)
DeleteIt looks like a challenging month without having full use of your hands. Your positive outlook has certainly been a blessing to you and your family. We have missed the snow so far but looks like tomorrow it may be winter wonderland!
ReplyDeleteDid you get your winter wonderland? It has been truly beautiful to see the snow here as it falls. I was grudging about it coming so early, but it truly is a beautiful sight. Hope all is well with you Ronda, blessings and hugs to you dear friend!
DeleteHello Marilyn. Thank you for popping in to my blog.. Make yourself at home there😀.. my brother had that same survey few years back.. Hope you get to feeling better soon..
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Renee, how happy I am to meet you, and to get to know you better! And glad to hear that your brother's surgery went so well, I am thankful to hear that. Hope that you are enjoying a lovely weekend :)
DeleteThank you for sharing the month of October with us in picture form. What wonderful colours and beautiful scenery. Here where I am we also have changing colours whenever we look at the traffic lights outside change green, amber and red. I particularly liked the video you posted. Thanx for that. What is the name of the background music?
ReplyDeletePraying for your continued healing free from pain and that you are soon back to normal. You may not realise this; but your photos here, and this Blog, bring much joy to many.
God bless you all.
Autumn Leaves is the name of the background music I chose to play. It is played by Kelvin Williams. I found it on Amazon music. I am glad you enjoyed the video and the music. I'm sorry the only changing of colors you get to see are the traffic lights! Victor I appreciate your kind words at the end of your comment, that means so much to me. Your perspective that you share on your blog brings a smile to my face too. Have a blessed weekend.. we are in the midst of a snowstorm here :)
DeleteMany thanx Marilyn.
DeleteGod bless you and your family always.
So glad your surgeries went well...I need to have this done, too, but with all the turmoil and shattered heart, I just can't do it right now. So glad you are doing well with it.
ReplyDeleteOh BJ, how I understand! I wouldn't even think of trying to do something like this right now with your grieving heart, that needs to heal first! And you are in my continued prayers dear friend! I know no words can heal the pain, but I can pray to the One who knows best how to help you grieve through this. Hugs to you!
DeletePopping in to see how you are doing..
ReplyDeleteI'm continuing to do well, dear Renee, how sweet of you to come back by to check in with me, that just touched my heart. Appreciate you, and am so thankful we've had a chance to meet in blogland :)
DeleteHello, nice post!
ReplyDeleteI'm new follower of your blog, can you follow mine?
:)
https://amoriemeraviglie.blogspot.it/
Hello there, so happy to meet you! I most definitely will travel over to visit your blog quite soon, and thank you for visiting mine :) Hope you are having a lovely weekend!
DeleteLove your teacups,just beautiful!Gorgeous landscapes too.I am glad you are safe and getting better!Hugs,Maristella.
ReplyDeleteThank you Maristella (what a pretty name, I love it!) I am so happy we met in "blogland", and look forward to getting to know you better too! Have a lovely and blessed weekend :)
DeleteYou are right, November is a quiet month, of resting. Here, I will no doubt spend a lot of time watching the snow fall so prettily. We are having our second winter storm this month, and at first I was reluctant to see it come, but now, I am loving it! Appreciate your visit and sweet words Teri, there is always such a gentle kind spirit about your blog, and what a blessing it is to read! Hugs to you today :)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL fall colors and pics. I love FALL and I love the colors. Sorry about the surgeries, hoping you are healing nicely.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have a tea party with your friend! I am glad your surgeries went well. I have been wearing a brace for over a month for CTS and mine is not healing. I imagine another surgery will be on the list. Your Autumn colours are truly beautiful. Most of ours are gone now but October was a splendid month as far as colours go. Thanks be to the Lord that the firefighters prevented that fire from spreading to your place! Prayer really does change everything! Have a beautiful day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
Can't remember if I've commented or not already - So just in case I haven't...I am so happy to hear that the fire did not come any closer to your property. That had to have been scary for sure. - Your Tea Parties always look like they would be a blast to attend. So happy to hear your 2nd surgery went well and I pray that you are well on your way to a good recovery from both of them. Wonderful fall scenes in your area. We had a dusting of snow here in town today. So not ready for winter.
ReplyDeleteWell, you may be recovering, but you still are able to post those pretty pictures that I love so much! :) I'm glad to hear you aren't in pain, thank the Lord for that!! And, also that you were able to escape the dangers of the fire! How scary! I loved seeing all of your bulbs, and the fact that your husband helped you plant them. So sweet. Wishing you a happy day, my friend!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness! A harrowing few weeks! Glad the surgery is going well...we have had forest fires close when we lived in a National Forest...scarey! The tea party with your friends looks like a lovely treat and sure to help you heal! Nice to connect with you here and on IG!
ReplyDeleteRuth
What a darling teatime there! So glad your surgeries are behind you and things are moving along. I am glad you can go walking and that the fires are under control! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are on the mend! I had both hands done years ago and they've been great. Your strength will return soon, I hope! So glad that the firefighters retained the fire! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Get well soon. CT is no fun. That teaparty looks like the perfect therapy. Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home.
ReplyDeletePraying that you are having continued healing! Your pictures are lovely, as always. That is so neat that your husband was able to get all those bulbs planted for you - it will be so lovely next year!
ReplyDeleteI hope your hands are healing, Marilyn. The tea goodies sure look good. I'm glad to hear all is well with you from the brush fire that started around your neck of the woods. We had many of them in California recently, and it was scary, indeed. Take care of your hands, dear.
