What are they doing in the Hyacynth house?

[justaprogressive]

Well in my case I'm recovering from serious calf surgery 2 weeks ago... I have (2) 12-13 INCH incisions, one each side of the calf
and I'll still be on crutchesfor afew more weeks...

BUT

My wife's 1300 bulb plantings are starting to spring up...(nope not exaggerating)

SO










Micro-daffodils!

1. Those are lovely!

I sure hope your healing process progresses smoothly!

At least you're not alone!

[justaprogressive]

3. You're correct

good thing too! Of course it does help in this situation that both my wife and I have been nurses for 30 years...

[2naSalit]

4. Yeah...

That would make a difference. You know what's up.

Nurses rule!! (I'll trust a nurse before I'd trust a doctor)

[justaprogressive]

6. and aren't you nice to say so!

Doctors give the orders, but it will be a nurse who will save your life and see to your comfort.

[2naSalit]

9. That's right!

Have known many nurses, have a high fallutin Head Nurse in the family too.

2. OUCH! I hope your healing is well underway and that you're not suffering, my dear justaprogressive!

That sounds like one hellacious surgery. Please get well as fast as possible, OK?

And your wife's bulbs are so completely gorgeous! You've got some great shots!

Take care, now, ya' hear?

[justaprogressive]

5. Aww thanks Peggy!

I'll do my best...

7. nothing like spring bulbs

Ours in NJ are just going out now but oh, were they pretty! Yours are stunning and you did a wonderful job on the photos. Did you hobble around on your crutches to get these pics? If so, double bravo!

[justaprogressive]

8. that would be a "yes"

...then lowered myself to the terrace wall, on our driveway, to get the shots and breath in hyacynth vapors!

I got it from all of them and glad to be infected with the idea.
