Thank goodness for tulips and roses and good friends and fabric.<br />As always, I wish I were near enough to do more than offer virtual support.smazoochiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716977786728589960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-84463969832056600112016-04-27T23:24:47.651-04:002016-04-27T23:24:47.651-04:00I'm so sorry to hear about your knee pain. An...I'm so sorry to hear about your knee pain. And I'm glad that you got the surgery moved up. It probably won't be as bad as being in pain is now! It is very hard to be creative when you are in pain. <br /><br />There is a lot of yellow/gold in that log cabin. How would that look? Maybe a small border of that, and then a darker color on the outside? Just a thought.... <br /><br />Love the photos of your grands...I can see them growing!<br /><br />The roses are so beautiful - and prolific! I'm so glad that you didn't get rid of them. And what a lovely memory for both you and your grandson. Right now we have azaleas and rhodies blooming. They're beautiful, and almost make the spring allergies worth it!<br /><br /> Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-2328586425703603572016-04-27T15:23:17.407-04:002016-04-27T15:23:17.407-04:00Hi, Diane. This is "m." Also known as Ma...Hi, Diane. This is "m." Also known as Margaret. <br />I started that blog several years ago, then life got really busy when my sweet farmer/preacher/husband found a charming "fixer-upper" just down the road from our farm shop. We, too eagerly, placed a bid on the house the day it went on the market. It was early June, THREE YEARS AGO. After MUCH work (and we are strictly "do-it-yourself-ers"), we hope to be moved out of our town house, and into our mostly? finished "charming" farm house by early June of this year. During those three years, I have quilted as much as possible, kept inspired by reading quilters blogs, and become MarGran, as our oldest daughter and her husband presented us with a beautiful grandson about 17 months ago. I'd love to remember how to post to my blog. Goodness, I'd love to even be able to find my blog again! But, alas, with our move to the farm house two years ago (and it IS true what everyone says, "Don't move in until you are finished working on a house!"), we gave up our good internet connection, and now I only use my phone to access the internet. And I simply don't know how to access my blog. I'd love to be able to post pictures of my quilts, especially now that I have my quilt studio at the farm, surrounded by our cotton fields!! But until I figure out how to do it, I will just enjoy visiting your blog, and a few others. My email is andrews604atsbcglobal dot net. Sorry for such a long reply to your post. You know I love seeing your sweet grands, and those beautiful roses! I am so sorry to hear of your daughter-in-law's loss in the death of her friend. Drugs bring so much pain and heartache. Keep posting. Keep sharing with us!<br />And when is that wedding? m.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15555880538466896024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7773094311026970819.post-75623289506599288572016-04-27T05:45:12.329-04:002016-04-27T05:45:12.329-04:00Your poor knee I bet it hurts, I can't imagine...Your poor knee I bet it hurts, I can't imagine, but I am sure it must be overwhelming. I hope the operation will go well and that the pain will be gone. But, those roses are just amazing!! So beautiful! Are they fragrent?

LOVE the...Yellow or goldish...how would that look? LOVE the ROSES. Here is a special little poem that I just know Mr.O would have liked....<br /><br />The Lily and the Rose. <br />In the sweet long ago so they tell me,<br />In a garden where nobody knows,<br />Dwelt a bashful sweet modest lily aside a single old fashioned white rose. <br />Now they both fell in love with the west wind,<br />One evening at twilight's close,<br />But the west wind loved the lily,<br />That grew by the side of the road.<br /><br />One night came the passionate west wind<br />All confused by the dark I suppose<br />And the kiss that was meant for the lily,<br />Was pressed to the lips of the rose.<br />Where ever gardens do grow<br />There is a sad shade of grief o'er the lily,<br />And a blush on the face of the rose. (author unknown)<br /><br />Pain takes away your thinking pattern. It robs you of enjoying anything or stomps all over your ability to eat or sleep. You'll be so much better off, even with the therapy ahead, when the knee's are fixed. I'll be thinking of you. Compression is the only thing I can think of that gives a little relief and sometimes allows you to stand up a little when you have too without ripping through every nerve in your legs.<br /> <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Holeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13724824435789407791noreply@blogger.com
