OK out of fear of not getting someone's name right I didn't add any names. I think we all can figure out which one is John. And the brug hugger is Jackie, I'm still not sure if she was that happy to get the brug or if she "juice" happy!!!

Looks like a bunch of happy faces to me!

What's up with the arm apparatus big guy?

My smile was certainly induced by the great weather, good food, and the company of some fine friends!
(Had nothing to do with a percocette, or two and a weee little sip of some home-made juice.)

The docs are calling it "Rotator-cuff Tendonitis". Most likely caused by pulling too much weight on my hunting bow, but that's just the only logical thing anybody can think of. I honestly have no idea what I did to it. It just started hurting badly (like "make a grown man cry" bad )one day, out of the blue. MRI showed inflammation and joint space swelling in both the Rotator Cuff and AC joints.

This is not going to be a forced labor camp though, just sticking some plants in the dirt and maybe raking some leaves and debris. "Yard work" is likely to consist of picking up some dead branches that fell... I'm trying to dig up a tiller to get some planting beds and rows of stuff in the ground. I have grand plans but I'm limited by the lack of a tiller. We have about a 1 acre parcel along Summer Ave that I'd like to get some fig tress at least along the frontage and elderberry and black currant bushes installed lining the culvert.. Sadly my elder cuttings are doing very poorly right now. Went to FL for a week and moved all my cuttings outside. Grapevines are pushing buds and figs are rooting but the once fabulous elderberries are looking pretty bad, may even loose them ;-( Here is a link that might be useful: Map of grounds and planned plantings

Yes, it was another great day of plant swapping even though it rained the whole day. I still came home with more than I took, I think! LOL! When the rain breaks for awhile, I too will be heading outside to place all of my goodies in there new homes. I can't wait until we are able to do it again in the fall. Thanks John for the "JUICE" also. White chocolate rocks! Jackie

Just a suggestion from Middle TN Plant Swap. Maybe it will save you some grief. DON'T ASK CAPTAIN COMPOST!!!! He agreed to come speak for us and we told him we would take up a love offering for him. It wasn't big enough to suit him. When the swap was over he came to my hubby and demanded $150 because that was his usual fee, if it hadn't been that we had put in canoes that day (we have a canoe rental) we couldn't have given it to him. Oh, he was a good speaker, but I lost all respect of him after that. Make sure whoever you get UNDERSTANDS that it is a freebie or that you will ask for donations if that is what you decide, and they will AGREE with that. Good luck, and I hope you have a big turnout.

I'm not sure of the medical techno terminology or the Latin phrasing but at my house we just call it AGE! :-)

I've been crooked-over for the last 9 days after blowing up my back AGAIN because I bent over and picked up 100 lbs of pears without bending my knees. So mine is age, stupidity, short-term and long-term memory loss of a 49-year old moron.

You may have to forget bow hunting forever and pick up a rod & reel. Hope you get better soon!!!

Fishing? I'd rather has unanesthetized root canal.
But seriously I'm good to go, I've been pulling back 40 Lbs with zero pain, and that's all I need to harvest a buck. The rest of the time is spent watching my ladies at the competitions putting holes in papers.
