One Week

This past week, I have had a horrible virus which I have had before, the first time I went into hospital where they found scarring on my lungs but did not know what was wrong with me; the second time, a doctor said it was a virus affecting my muscles. This time I haven't seen a doctor because I know that I need to totally rest {the virus made me sleep all day anyway} and will eventually get better. I still feel wobbly today, but I am sure that it has something to do with the fact that on some days, all I could manage is a piece of toast and on my better days it was an apple and a cereal bar!!

But, I cannot believe how nice the weather has been this week, and I haven't set one foot outside all week. I have had the benefit of the warm breeze from the bedroom window, and when I looked into the garden this morning, I could see that my rose has bloomed, and some have already died...

That the vegetables are growing:

The Shade Garden that we created last year, is looking quite good {please excuse the garden paraphernalia behind!}. I have hostas, bergenias, eurphorbia, hellebore, but I can't remember the names of the either the tall plant in the middle or the variegated shrub with pinkish stems to the left - any ideas?

Today, I feel so much better but am a bit weak like Avocado Baby's family! I am looking forward to getting back to crafting and enjoying the good weather.
