 Summer Hex... Up here, summer is finicky. One day it's beautiful, sunny and 70 degrees and the next, frost warnings. I have all of my garden planted now (veggies anyway) and now it's time to focus on the flowers around the house. Yes, while flowers and outdoor landscaping is important, food is more important, so that comes first. There are a few more rows of stuff to plant but they're not necessary. More beans, peas and spinach and then it's done. So, after dinner, we can relax, put the kayaks in the car and go to the lake. Hubby fishes and I just stare into the water and unwind. That was the plan until I crashed my bike. No serious damage to either myself or my bike (ribs) but it did knock me out of the lifting and pulling for a while.  Yeah, ribs hurt.

She had made it to the side and was clinging on to the bank (steep banks) for her life. So, being that this is my baby, I jumped in. It was July, so not cold. Tried and tried to push her up the bank (120 lbs) and was unable to do this. Hubby came to help and between the two of us, we got her out of the pond but in the meantime, I stepped in calf deep silt and did a sudden left turn which my knee deeply resented. Immediately I became the spokeswoman for Rice Krispies (snap, crackle and pop), and boy did it pop! Immediate pain, no strength, ...
