Thursday Things

Busy day...went to my Dr.'s for a follow-up.  Unfortunately found out that I have significant bone loss that showed up via a bone density scan.  Oh brother, this getting old is definitely a challenge.  But the good news is my blood pressure was great and my mammogram was normal...two to one, I guess not bad odds.  But now, a new medication...yurk!!  Are any of you out there in our wonderful blogland on any kind of meds for bone loss?  If you are, please share your experience with them.  I want to know the good, the bad & the ugly.

Then on to take Toby to his Dr....he was way behind on his shots, so after being poked numerous times and what a good boy he was, we took a walk around the Vet's office.  They are located in a neighborhood, with a large yard behind the building and lo and behold what did I spy....sunflowers growing so stately and tall.

Some almost spent....

Others still tight in their bud...

The Vet receptionist suggested that I walk a block down the street to a beautiful forest preserve, ofcourse Toby and I were interested in a forest preserve, no telling what delights we could find there.

Beautiful bridges...

Acorns gathering...

Interesting wild flowers in all colors...

The weather has cooled off significantly from the past few days so the walk was really pleasant.  If the temps would have been in the 90's like it has been these last few days, I fear I would have missed all this beautiful wild-life.

Still working on a couple of recent photo shoots....sharing a couple of photos.

Day 5 - Pieces of Me

Ok, I know I am late in posting this...but I really do have a good excuse.  Yesterday I was busy all day, from morn til night.  I'll tell you about my day later but first let me finish my week of "Pieces of Me - Scavenger Hunt" for Beyond Layers.  Today or I should say, yesterday, our prompts were View from our Window and Favorite Drink.

I love this view...this is my living room that looks out over the front yard and across the street to a wide-open field.  It's always a pleasant sight until the boys across the street park their trucks right in front of my pretty view.  There are 4 drivers in their house and 5 trucks.  They are one truck lovin' family.

And the 2nd prompt is favorite drink....well this was way too hard for me to pick just one.  And it all depends on the time of day.

And I have to add this sweet, sweet image.  I did another photo shoot yesterday for a good friend's granddaughter....here is a little preview of Dad and Daughter in a sweet (very quick kiss) .....

Oh we had a good time...hope you ended your week on a high note.
