Moved rocks first thing in the am. What is my obsession with rocks? (you may ask) About 15 years ago I spent the summer clearing brush, fallen limbs and leaves and twigs and about 1000 rocks, bricks, cement bits of various sizes and colors from our backyard woods.
What do you do with rocks? Over the years I have created rock gardens, rock paths, rock sculptures, rock towers, and rock walls.
I think when our neighborhood was built 50 yrs ago there was a mountain that the construction crew hammered into millions of smaller pieces that are just under (12 inches) the ground. So there is an endless supply of FREE materials with which to create new projects outdoors.
Then I fed the birds. That means refilling the feeders for birds, bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks, (sometimes deer) moles, voles, and probably more creatures I have not personally seen.
Next was yoga (for PD at the JCC) which was peaceful and serene and physically and mentally beneficial. At home I refilled the almost empty feeders. (Hordes of blackbirds or crows or starlings ??? visited the feeding station that day.)I then took a step backwards to look to see who would be the 1st birds to come and CRASH ....lost my balance and hit the driveway. I don't think you can break an artificial hip but it felt like it. I was able to get right up and thats always a good sign.
The bruise is GIGANTIC !!!

Anyway thats the deal with PD. Enjoying a huge variety of activities indoors and outdoors, always being vigilant about slopes and steps and walkways and inclines and driving and parking and then OOPS out of nowhere an unexpected (of course) fall.
So today a bit sore but went thrift store shopping with Sammy (in for a quick 2 day R and R).
