The Stone Fence Cottage: On a roll.....

Hiya Blogland!!! Well, the Queen of Klutzes has done it again!!! I was coming out of work Thursday and caught my (chunky, low) heel in a hole in the sidewalk and faceplanted on the concrete. My first thought was..check the teeth..ok all there...check the glasses cuz they are new....ok....OH CRAP, of all days to wear a skirt!!!....check to make sure my butt wasn't hanging out!!

I stumbled upstairs to report it.. freaked a few people (must've been the bloody nose!) and had to get the hubster to take me to Occ Health and then the ER. Three and one half hours later I'm heading home with a spiffy soft cast for my right wrist and a sling. AND some kick-ass pain meds!

Damage Toll: Severely sprained right wrist and elbow, Abrasions and constusions on both knees, right hand and elbows, abrasion on my nose--and it is broken but it popped back into place. Big bruise on my right hip. Everything hurts but it could've been worse. Gotta go see an orthopedic doctor monday morning to see when I can return to work.

I was planning on painting the kitchen this weekend but oh well... we'll just live with the blue tape everywhere!

I took some pictures of the gardens and front porch to share. Did I mention I am BORED???? I can't do ANYTHING!!!! I'm used to crocheting or hooking or such when I sit and watch TV and that is a no go.

View of the front porch and garden. Those are Stargazer Lilys...they smell AMAZING!!! The large grey thing behind them is my giant plastic rock. It covers the grinder fro the septic system. It's amusing to buy a fake rock when you're living in Washington County which is primarily ROCKS.

The front porch. We block off the one end in the summer with the bench. (We like it open in winter for ease in getting out in the snow) The little rocker was a trash heap on the side of the road find. It was hideous with these bizarre flowers painted on it...but STURDY and nothing a couple coats of white paint didn't improve. The plant on the red pedestal is my 75 year old Christmas Cactus. Which blooms for St. Patrick's day. I'm surprised I haven't killed it yet.

View of the old shelf by the front door. Yes, I have one of those geese you dress up for the seasons/holidays. I get lot's of compliments on it!! The picture is one I did to look like an old roadside sign I saw. I used an old Home Interiors picture as the base. It's the one from the 70's that looks like an old window with pictures of pumpkins and such. I can get these dirt cheap and they work well for painting!
