Still here

Honestly, I have not fallen in a hole somewhere! I am experiencing one of my well planned periods of time where absolutely nothing goes as planned.

My stitches came out last week and my hand looks fabulous (if I do say so myself). In fact, it looks so fabulous that my husband talked me in to having the surgery on my other hand now, rather than waiting until June. June was chosen because it would be after the Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Festival and well before the serious wedding preparations got going. So, tomorrow morning is the scheduled left hand surgery. Which means I will most likely be out of it for a few days again and I'm still not allowed to do barn chores.

The picture was taken on a rare day of sunshine. Central Kentucky has had more snow already than we usually have for a whole winter......and there is more on the way tonight. I love the look at that girl's face turned soaking up that little bit of sun. She looks so content and peaceful. Somehow I managed to sneak up close enough to get this picture before they saw me. I have to say, I miss seeing all the girls twice a day right now and am anxious to get back to the regularly scheduled program around here.

Someone be sure to remind me of that around the end of February when I'm tired of hauling hay to all of them.

  1. I am so happy that your hand is doing well! I am sure the left hand will be just as successful and then how good will that feel to have all of that behind you.
    I am in love with that photo of the sheep with her face up to the sun. I know just how she feels. Be warm. Good luck tomorrow.

  2. Love the sweet photo. Best of luck with your second procedure, and may it go as well as the first did (and may you be able to get out of your driveway tomorrow morning!)

  3. Hey, if your hubby is willing to do chores, it does sound like a good time to have the second hand done! So glad to hear the first one has healed so well, too.

  4. We have had so many days of snow and grey skies that when the sun does come out, I probably look jsut like that ewe with her face to the sky. Best wishes on hand #2.

  5. Good luck with the continued healing and the next surgery. Have you visited with an Occupational Therapist to figure out what you were doing that caused the problem in the first place? A good OT can help you figure out how not to re-injure yourself.

  6. Wonderful news about your hand :-)
    Your sheepy pics look very peaceful. I only wished it was that green here in Ontario...Brrrrrr!

  7. Good luck with this next round of surgery. I think I would rather be doing it now than when the weather turns nicer - more snow for us today.

  8. So glad your hand looks so great and that the experience was good enough to make it easy to decide to have the other done. Hope all goes as well.....but you don't have a third hand to do then! :-)

  9. Yes, that's Graham's twin sister, Gabby. Definitely got that family resemblance going on there.
