Comments (45)Thank you, Katyajini. Am pretty sure these are all spring pics. I think a lot of my plants are big, or you could say overgrown, because I'm usually not a very assertive pruner. I like big plants but I also like some degree of order and neatness and am pruning more and at any time I want, not just before spring. I cut back some one cane wonders really hard and for the most part it was a good decision. This year we are having so much rain and my early bloomers are starting on second flushes now. Some of them look as full of blooms as the first spring flush, and I think it's got to be because of the rain. That and letting in more light by tree removal and pruning. Our soil here is easy to dig, so it's easy for roots to spread out in. The bad thing is that it drains fast and in summer the soil can get awfully dry. But since the roots have spread out a lot, they take in whatever moisture they can find. But in a drought, I feel like my garden is way overextended...I can not keep it watered, we just depend on luck with the rain....See MoreDisappointed in My Millennial Kids
Comments (39)So sorry you are dealing with this Running.. these kinds of scary events make us vulnerable and much more sensitive to the actions of others. I had two surgeries last year and they were very scary for me because they were cutting into my eye and because it was out of town. One of my sisters was great support--not only transporting me but waiting through the surgery/recovery, filling the hotel room with things she thought I might be able to eat after surgery (I am very sensitive to anesthesia) and mostly just BEING there. I was pretty hurt though that I didn't hear much from my other siblings.. or friends. But the reality is, this isn't the first time that I needed support and didn't get it-- and it hurt all the more because I am ALWAYS available when someone else needs a shoulder or some help. it required me to do some soul searching. I am fiercely independent .. and in the past I've brushed off offers of help and support. No, I don't need anything, I don't need help, thank you-- but I CAN DO IT MYSELF. (Not screaming-- just emphasizing). Eventually, I think, everyone just came to expect that I wouldn't need their help. I will need to learn to ask for it when I need it.. something I loathe to do and something I really don't know how to do. But I don't think it's all my fault-- or the fault of any other strong, independent woman who hesitates to ask for support. I think it's become all too easy for people to make empty offers of help. "Let me know what I can do.. " has become easy to say but when it comes down to it, the same people aren't as quick to adjust their schedule or actually BE there... but that's a whole other topic....See MoreDisappointed in my Millennial Kids
Comments (10)I’m really very sorry that you’re going through this but glad that in the end, you will be ok. I’m also glad that you still have a circle of support because that is important too. I can completely understand your hurt, I don’t think you’re over reacting at all and I really do understand what you’re feeling. During the journey that my husband and I have been on with his cancer, I’ve been hurt and/or disappointed many times with my DD and her husband, It wasn’t until my husband was preparing for a stem cell transplant last September (7 years) that my daughter and even most of my extended family would ever reach out to offer support. If I asked for her to help with something I would sorely regret I’d even asked. What I’ve come to learn though through my own experience with family is that unless they have cared for another with cancer or are up close and seeing things first hand, they really don’t get it. Cancer affects a lot more than just our physical bodies, it wreaks havoc on one’s emotions in a way that most just don’t understand. That doesn’t condone their reaction, but maybe they need a conversation by someone other than you to explain that to them. Is there anyway your husband can have a heart to heart with them?...See MoreAnnegriet
