Hello friends, I am back again!
In case you are wondering what happened to me, it is just that for the past few days, I will be feeling sleepy and will be napping throughout the day. Some days, I will be feeling wide awake and slept very little. This is probably some of the minor side effects of the chemo treatment.
Morning sky at 6:45am
Some mornings, I will wake up very early and if I remember, I will go out to check on the sunrise and snap some photos. Recently, I went out to the garden to check on the plants. Many plants have been neglected and left to fend for themselves. Hubby only has the time to water them.
The plants that are doing well and growing bigger are my cactus plants. The above has grown bigger.
The one above has grown more babies.
This photo was from the year 2021. Can you see the grasshopper clinging on the green brinjal? This morning I harvested some green brinjals or eggplants or aubergines from my garden.
I think this is the same grasshopper. Since then, I haven't seen any grasshopper visiting our garden.
Linking to Skywatch Friday & Saturday's Critters.
The Lord's my Shepherd I'll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still still waters
His goodness restores my soul
Chorus:
And I will trust in You alone 2x
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home
He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights
And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the evil one
For You are with me
And Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know
I hope you are doing better. When is your next checkup to see how the chemo is working? Blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteMy next blood test and chemo will be next week.
DeleteChemo doesn´t sound too good. Hope it´ll help you. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you, PP.
DeleteNo choice! My garden is left to neglect but at least my missus is taking care of it now. A typhoon -like wind uprooted her papaya tree - in my blog post tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteMost of the pots are overgrown with weeds. Hubby will have to slowly clear them.
DeleteAt the moment you need to do what your body needs. The photos are lovely. Psalm 23 is one of my favourites, too. May it comfort you in this diffficult time. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteThank you, Valerie.
DeleteJust do what you want and what you can. Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stacy.
DeleteThe grasshopper looks so unique and large!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Roentare.
DeleteSo nice shots, thanks for your sharing...
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteVery nice to see you again! Yes, chemo must be awful - I hope it helps!
ReplyDeleteOh, I think it was on TV this morning - be Maya. Her friend is a grasshopper named Flip.
I grew up with the series and liked Flip a lot!
Your cactus plants are nice, too - all the best wishes from here!
Thank you, Iris.
Delete...take care Nancy and have a Happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteIt's not surprising, Nancy, that your system has been thrown off by the chemotherapy, but let's hope that it is working and the invasive bad guys are being chased away. Best wishes - David
ReplyDeleteThank you, David.
DeleteYou should rest and take a walk if you can..or meditate..don't worry about your blog, garden or others...they can WAIT, Nancy. Take really good care of yourself, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angie. Yes, I am doing whatever that my body needs. I only blog whenever I am able, not my top priority.
DeleteHave a religious Good Friday my friend and rest and take care Nancy. Prepare for Easter Sunday.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Connie.
DeleteCacti do not need much water for this, perhaps, they will be fresh.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Norma.
