Best Laid Plans...


My plans were altered last week.  I'd planned to get a lot done.


I had to make a trip to the doctor's office on Thursday.  It was an unscheduled visit.
   

Without going into too much detail, I'm on antibiotics and am feeling better.  I'm waiting for test results to come in, but am hopeful all will be fine.
 

The funny thing is that before that happened, I had just gone to my chiropractor for my back and he assured me that I was going to feel like a new woman.  Maybe he was joking, but I wanted to believe him!  Anyway, I am hopefully on the mend and I will start to tackle those things that I'd hoped to do last week.  So, I'm off today to look for flowers and a few other things.  Wish me luck.  

The birds and flowers above are from my yard over the weekend.

Until next time...

  2. The blue flower is a Salvia. The blue of it is so vibrant this year. Thanks!

  3. Such striking colours with the yellow birds and the blue flowers. I've been sick myself since Easter so know about thwarted plans... Take it easy, don't overexert yourself.

  6. Gorgeous pictures of the blue salvia!
    Hey girl...I sure hope you get to feeling good, (like, REAL SOON)
    Even antibiotics can make you feel bad for a few days...Trusting that you will be feeling great and full of energy within the next day or so.
    Praying that your test results come back GOOD!
    don't overdo today...Relax and feel better...
    hugs

  7. Simply beautiful photographs!

    Oh dear me, on antibiotics and feeling better, always means that one has been feeling *purdy-darn-lousy*.

    Best wishes for good test results and for continuing to feel better and better and better.

    Gentle hugs...

    It’s one thing to be an individual;
    but it’s another thing to be an individual
    at the cost of the people around you.

  13. Hope you feel better soon. I feel your pain. I've been under the weather since a week ago Thursday. I'm just too stubborn or tight to go to the doctor. I've blogged once in that time.
    And if I can figure out the new blogger situation I might be back. . .

  17. I'm praying all will be fine and that you feel much better soon!

    The flowers are gorgeous! I just came inside from checking mine out. I was excited to see I had sage blooming... because I didn't know it had survived the encroaching lemon balm!

    Have a wonderful week and again I hope you are feeling some better.

  18. Oh my! Well, I am so glad you were able to see the doctor and I hope the meds will work!!! Such beauty here, what ARE these gorgeous purple flowers? They are shaped like lavender, but the blooms don't look like that.

  19. Oh, I think it is blue and not purple....cameras have a fit between the two...I see others are asking, as well!

  22. So sorry you have been under the weather! Praying the antibiotics and the back adjustment get you
    back on your feet soon.

    I love the goldfinches. We usually have dozens, but this year only a few. I am blaming it on the strange spring weather.

    Have a wonderful week..
