so to speak. Dog wanted to play threw a paw out and raked my arm with a toe nail. I have that old woman skin now so have a long blood type bruise trail down the arm.
Get to the high country and unload the truck. Went to the shop to finish unloading. Turned around to go to green house next thing I knew I was on the ground with the air knocked out of the left lung. Skinned knees and one skinned elbow. Slowly got my air back but could feel a very sore ribs under the left Brest now.
Hobbled around all day feeling like crap. Hoping I can sleep tonight in the bed may be in the lazy boy type chair before morning.
Don't have a idea why I tripped but that shale does hurt like a mother and rips skin very easy. I should be black and blue from head to toe my morning.
Also temps are dropping and fresh snow on the peaks up here. Have the maters and pepper in the green house covered and hay packed around them. Even my squash that just popped out in the open air garden I covered for the night. Have a couple nights of this to get through then back to normal. What a spring.

I’m the same way, plus dark purple splotches, haven’t a clue where any of them came from.
Then there are the results of Pinky hanging on my forearm. Like a meat tenderizer. He seems not to care?

HMMM, So I am not the only one that noticed the thin skin and easy bleed thing that goes with getting older. You got snow and I got thunderstorms and heat. Must be that global warming crap they try to convince us of. So today I have to go and feed and check "The wife's"chickens. Did I mention I now have deep resentment for those chickens.

Still kicking. Sore as hell. Did some work this morning and got the body warmed up and was doing okay. Then I stopped and now it's a SOB to move.
Looks like a snow storm moving in. Had to cover the maters and peppers in the green house last night. Right at dawn it went to 33 degrees so slipped a small heater in it. Looks like I'll have to do it all over again tonight.

I've come to the conclusion that getting old ain't for sissies but I'm going to continue to do so as long as I can.
It's 103* out on my patio right now.

We hit 65 yesterday. Then a hail storm came in went to 48 then slowly raised back to the 50's.
32 out at 0400 so hobbled out to the green house to plug in the little heater. Suppose to be upper 80's by Tuesday. What a crazy spring. Going to be a fight to keep a garden going up here this year it is looking like.
Found the rib that is sore just to touch. It's high up and under the breast but it's sure letting me know it's hurt and angry. Pain pills wore off reason I'm up so early.

Weather is simply a matter of adjusting to nature's rhythm instead of fighting it. Was up about 4:30 a.m. having breakfast. Sat out on the patio having coffee watching the sunrise. (Awesome) Been out burning brush in the burn barrel and doing misc. yard work. Actually, I care little about the yard and spend most of my time doing range maintenance on my archery range out back. In a couple of more hours, it's gonna get hot. Time to come inside under the a.c. and take a siesta. Toward evening, fire up the bbq and have a sundowner while watching the sunset. BTW; I live on a dirt road & we have two stop lights in town, one on each end. Refresh my memory, where did you say Paradise was ?????
