SIMPLE PLEASURES

I am doing much better and sciatica much improved.  Now there is a small voice that repeats over and over Please do not let the sciatica return! Any of you who have suffered with it knows what it is like.
One of the things I did for physical therapy was to walk in the circular pathway in my garden. The beauty helped take my mind off the pain. Such a simple pleasure can be so healing in many ways.
So here are some more shots of the bountiful beauty God has provided me through my friend and landscaper, Lisa N. It helps me so much.  Nothing like this to get your mind off problems and pain.
 
 
 
Lovely colors to brighten any day.
 
 
 
 
 
 Wouldn't this lovely scenery life your heart? 
It certainly does mine!

  12. Dear Rose, your gorgeous garden certainly would lift my spirits! I am so sorry your sciatica is back!! I have had this pounding pain in the base of my skull and being out in the garden has given me some relief. Hubby keeps telling me to take it easy. I have been to the Dr. and put heat and ice on it, but I can't just lay around. Being in the garden helps to lift my spirits! Hope you are better soon!
    hugs,
