X-ray results

I was disappointed, but not surprised, to have the results of the X-ray come back as osteoarthritis. That means I don't have a recovery to look forward to. However, I'm certainly going to do all I can to keep it from getting worse. Watering is the hardest part. That entails walking for hours over rough ground. I hate to take drugs for pain, even though the strongest I ever take is ibuprofen. (I hardly even take more than one ibuprofen per year.)

Every day I shoot bird photos out the window of birds in the new bird bath. I was delighted today, when I downloaded my photos, to see the background is getting lovely. When I first built the water feature, in late November, things were already dormant. Now I can look forward to some better photos. Here's one taken in the middle of winter.

Lincoln's Sparrow

And here's one from today. I like the background much better.
