The Garden

 BIG SIGH!

It's just not getting done.

At the moment, I'm the only one who has time to do anything in the garden. That would be alright if I wasn't trying to deep clean the house, declutter and if my health was a lot better.

My back is still painful, not as bad as before. I can walk longer without pain, about 15 to 20 minutes. Standing is still a challenge, but I can cook and wash dishes without feeling as if I'm going to pass out from the pain! A lot better than a few weeks ago, I was at the point that after standing for 5 minutes, I felt faint and was sweating because of the intensity of the pain!

But I don't have the energy or strength to make a big difference in the garden. 

I try, every other day I go out and pull weeds, sweep up leaves and pick up any trash lying around! There always seems to be trash. I think a lot of it falls out of the cars. Also, sometimes animals get into the plastic trash bags and throw trash around. We have a net over the bags, but somehow the animals still get in!

At least the weather is good, actually rather warm today, 22C at the moment. It's warmer outside than inside!

After my little attempt today, I took a video.

The machine that rumbles past really surprised me. I hear that going past two or three times a day. I always thought it was a big, heavy machine because of the noise it made, but it was rather small and cute!

The other thing that I found surprising was the little bee on the flower toward the end of the video. It's November, but still warm enough that some insects haven't started to hibernate.
