Swing

Cherishing the small things that are good right now. Little helper writing the date on the jar of raw milk from Bella, above.  

Last week to this week.  I ran a fever, and it blistered, so I started the antibiotics.  Also, on prednisone.  I had to slowly taper off.  For someone who isn't used to taking pharmaceuticals, but scared about the seriousness of this, it's been a lot of questioning and trust and prayer to know what to do.

My arm has been slowly recovering from the likely spider bite, that occurred 2 weeks ago.  Pain and tingling at the site still, although it is healing and better than it was... 

Insomnia due to the medication is awful.

I really haven't done much this week, but rest.  My husband has gotten a lot of work done on the walls surrounding the freshly poured concrete.

Below, we spent a couple hours on Lake Otsego on Memorial day Monday.  The water is still pretty cold.

Bracelets to sell.  There's a craft fair coming up and also weekly farm markets nearby.  I've been thinking it would be a good place to sell the bracelets I've made and maybe flowers.  I started growing zinnias. These are wildflowers above, whose names I want to learn.  I only know the buttercups.

We found a turtle in our yard later that day!

Rhubarb from a roadside farm stand on the way home from our library trip. I chopped it up and made a cake.

Blessed feast of the Ascension!  We went to the chapel of the 7 Holy Youths in Morris, NY.
