Haulin’ water is not a light task, especially by the gallon. When we had chickens in the barn I had to haul their water down by the gallon jug. The walk was not fun those days. Give yourself a break – ‘sides most of us aren’t spring chicks any longer so we get pooped out sooner. lol
Have a great weekend!

It takes time to heal. Just think of those millions and millions of tiny cells inside you doing their best to make you well again. The more you rest, the easier their job is.

Man! I remember haulling water to livestock when I was little – it was hard then and I’m sure it still is. Be kind to yourself, Alison. (You make me tired just reading about it!) d

Toni is right — hauling gallons of water is no easy task. Heck, I have trouble just hauling ME around. You deserve a little rest.

Humor –

A minister was completing a temperance sermon. With great emphasis, he said, “If I had all the beer in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.” With even greater emphasis, he said, “And if I had all the wine in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.”

And then, finally, shaking his fist in the air, he said,

“And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.”

Sermon complete, he sat down.

The song leader stood very cautiously and announced with a smile, nearly laughing, “For our closing song, let us sing Hymn #365: ‘Shall We Gather at the River’.”

Hauling water….you’ve through a lot this year and hauling water is not easy. Please take good care of yourself.

Please, please, Alison–don’t do any more heavy work. Take care of yourself! Just sit and knit for a bit!! You need as much stillness as you can get to heal. Don’t hurry it.

I’m glad you were able to nurture something(s) that brings you joy. Enjoy the yarn time and relax!

I was supposed to go to Home Depot tomorrow to purchase the annual filter replacement for the refrigerator. Must see if their flower bulbs have arrived!

I was afraid you were not up to par. DON’T DO THINGS LIKE THIS AGAIN.

hauling water is heavy labour woman! Of course you are tired. Sheesh. I think you have the same problem I have, in my head, I am 20 years old and fit as a fiddle and have energy to spare. The reality? Not so much

Oh, I love amaryllis. What with several moves, I’d given mine all away, but just bought myself a new one this year. It is showing its nose already. I think I love watching them grow as much as I love the blooms.

The amaryllis are so pretty I have a black thumb in gardening:(
Check out the video on my blog Baby It’s Cold Outside just love the memories.((((Hugging You)))))))Darcy

I hope you didn’t over do it!!! Why couldn’t you be happy with a smaller container to change the water? lol

I can almost smell the perfume from that picture. Thank you for sharing it!
