Out In the Garden

   Hurt my left hip (again!) while gardening yesterday so no exercise today, not even a walk. I tend to forget I'm on the downward slope to 80 and don't take reasonable precautions. I did manage to cut the back grass - its first cut of the year - and prune a couple of bushes today, neither of which required bending which is when the pain occurs. 

   Other than that it has been a quiet, restful day. My big excitement was placing an on-line order at Bulk Barn, the first time I have attempted it. Seemingly, it will be ready for pickup tomorrow after noon, but I have my doubts as the order included flour and yeast which are in very short supply hereabouts. They will call me if anything is unavailable. Still, no big deal if there are missing items. I will just do without.

    It has been a gorgeous day today, quite the best day this year so far and I was outdoors for several hours. Even took off my sweater while cutting the grass! Good times ahead!!

Captured on my walk a couple of days ago in my local park. So pretty!

  1. Sorry to hear you hurt your hip. You cut your grass! WOW you are really further ahead of us. I wandered the garden to see if there was any signs of daffodil or tulip buds - a few, not many. I did not know Bulk Barn was doing online. I get to curb side pick up my grocery order this week - I booked the time slot about a month ago as the first available date, I've already reserved a May spot as I don't think we are ready for release any time soon, in spite of the Queen's Park protesters.

    1. Very disappointed to see the protesters at Queen's Park. I thought Canadians were above these kind of tactics!

  2. Bad luck about your hip. What a nuisance for you. I'm hoping it heals up again quickly and doesn't stop you from doing too much.
    I agree with Patio Postcards, the virus isn't suddenly going to go away and anyone's command and it will be sensible and wise to keep distance for many months to come really.

    1. It's a bit better today, mostly if I keep moving. I will try to exercise tomorrow. For sure, we will still be in quarantine for another month.

  3. I'm sorry to read you've hurt your hip. Please make sure to take things easy for the next few days. It's too easy to get carried away working in the garden when the weather is so good just now. X

    1. Yes, I tend to be a bit over ambitious! Today was dull and rainy so it was easy to stay indoors and take it easy.

  4. Sorry to hear about your hip pain. I suppose rest and gentle massage may help?

  5. I soaked in the tub this morning and that seemed to help. It's better if I keep moving.
