Last week I was feeling a bit under the weather and this past weekend it got even worse. I don’t like having to go to the doctor but I found it absolutely necessary as my throat was killing me. I have had horrible allergies this year as I am sure many of us have. Well the doctor told me I had a virus and I was to stay confined to my home until the end of this week, the virus I have is apparently quite contagious. ugh! Unfortunately that meant bed rest and no school for me. Oh, I forgot to mention I started cosmetology school. Ah well I will chat more about that later.
Anyway in the midst of my bedrest, runny nose, watery eyes, incesient sneezing, coughing and whining from being so miserable. I decided that while the outdoors seem to be my worst enemy right now, (since I am literally allergic to it) I wandered out on my front porch to enjoy my spring flowers that are now settling nicely into their planters. I planted them the previous week, pre-sickness. It was nice to get out and enjoy some sunshine. Hope my neighbors didn’t mind my fuzzy pink robe, hair standing on end and the wad of tissues trailing behind me.
I love planting ground covers in pots and letting them grow over the edges and along the steps.
These will look lovely when they start hanging over the edge of the baskets. Not that they don’t look good now. They do add a nice touch to the front porch.
I am feeling a bit more like myself today. I have one day left on sick leave, per doctors orders and then I get to head back out into the world. And back to school. I hope I will feel up to working in my studio this weekend as well!
