This pot of pretty little violas sits in front of a new shop on 9th street. One of our local ladies has bought up a lot of the old buildings in Leeds that have fallen into disrepair. She has been refurbishing them, and lots of neat shops and businesses are cropping up in them. I forget just what this shop is, but that's not important. What this post is about is the fact that I might just have to enjoy photos of flowers instead of actually growing them. My day of gardening prep on Friday has put me into a condition that my granny used to call "stove up." The worst part is my knee, which is swollen and hurts like a you-know what.
It didn't help any that Vann and I went to a friend's birthday party last night and there was dancing going on. I do so love to dance. I sat still till they played a twisting song, then I just had to get up and dance. I guess that was the coup de gras, knee-wise. Anyway, this morning, dancing is out of the question (not to mention walking).
I haven't given up on the idea of gardening. I'm thinking that if I let my knee get ok, then work in very short increments, maybe I can do it. And maybe I'll have flowers starting to bloom about the time of the first frost in the fall.

Sorry to hear about your lame knee. That is just the pits on so many levels! It's spring and I know you want to get out there. Be sure to take plenty of Motrin/Aleve, and take care.

Hi Susan,
What a beautiful photograph! I am sorry to hear that you injured your knee and I will send thoughts for a speedy recovery. I love gardening as well, but since having my little ones and building a new house, we just haven't had time to do it yet. There's always window boxes and pretty pots if you don't feel up to kneeling.
Thanks so much for the kind comment on my blog! I'd love to see your swatch portraits when they are done.
Warmly,
Susan
