Gravity is Winning Today...

I always feel a little fatigue due to the Sjogren's Syndrome, but for the past couple of days it has jumped on my with both feet. It is an effort to even get up and move at all. My joints protest and scream inside of my head for me to stop moving and to go back to sleep, my eyes are so dry that they feel like they are full of sand, and my mouth feels like I have been gargling with kitty litter. Dry, dry, dry!!

So, today I won't be doing much except letting gravity win a bit. Maybe when hubby gets home we will take a walk outside......then again.......

Glamour Shots and a Tale from Addison's Acre....

While I was in the hospital my husband made his regular grocery run, and a woman was in there peddling photography sessions to be done in the store. My sweet husband, knowing that he and I had never had our picture taken together professionally, gladly paid the ten dollars for the minimum package, and signed us up. So today, we get all dressed up and go to Kroger to have our picture taken. I'm thinking we would have a choice of back drops, props, etc... Boy was I wrong. LOL There was one back drop that was a kind of sun burst and black. Thankfully, our outfits did not clash too badly with it. The photographer looked like a homeless man and smelled like one too. Needless to say, I was on the verge of maniacal laughter the entire time, and so was my husband. At least he and I looked pretty good, but I cannot wait until these pictures come back! According to Ned the Wino that will occur on July the 2nd. It was definitely the most interesting trip I have ever had to ANY grocery store EVER!

There is never a dull moment on Addison's Acre. My husband and I have been noticing some interesting behavior from a murder of crows that live on our land. They have been congregating around the goldfish pond, and at first we thought they were eating the fish, because they were dipping their heads in the water. However, we noticed that they had something in their beaks that they were dipping in the water, and it was big and white. After they would dip the big white thing they would then put it on the rocks and consume it. We decided to walk out and get a better look at what they were eating. Once we got out there of course they flew away, and what we saw on the rocks was BREAD! They were getting bread from someone else's yard, and they were bringing it back to dip in the fish pond to soften it up to make it easier to eat. Those are some intelligent birds! Nature never ceases to amaze me!!

What's going on at Addison's Acre......

I have not written in a while. I have been quite under the weather, and as of yesterday I got out of the hospital after having been in for six days. I was admitted for Syncope due to low potassium and hypothyroidism, but hopefully I am on the mend.

In other areas Hubby has started the garden. He hasn't gotten everything planted, because of the crazy weather here. We had a late frost, but we do have tomatoes and cucumbers going. The tomatoes already have little tomatoes on them and the plants are huge and healthy. I love seeing and eating food that we grow and harvest ourselves. It is so much more satisfying than buying it, and it just tastes better too. We hope to get some squash and other essentials planted, so we have some nice fresh veggies this Summer to supplement our diets. Our fig trees are big and beautiful, and I expect great things from them as well this year. They certainly did not disappoint last year.

So, Addison's Acre is being fruitful, and we are Blessed and thanking God for all of our Blessings.
