Good News!!  Woke up feeling pretty good today with no need for a pain pill.  Finally got out of pj's after 10 days and out of bed (for three days).  Decided to celebrate and go to Cracker Barrel for Momma's Pancakes and maybe ride on the Blue Ridge afterwards.  The breakfast was wonderful (lunch actually), but by the time I was done, I was worn out!  Good grief!  It was good to get out even for a little while.  No pictures from the Blue Ridge yet, but here's one of a beautiful maple in my own yard...

Don't you love how the maples display almost all the colors on one tree?  Pretty soon it will look like it is on fire.

Two different maples, jam-packed hollies,  and the little Euonymous put in just this last Spring.  Already blazing like the "burning bush" that it is!!
