helwenLast week no kungfu for me, although I did go Friday and watch. I'd been feeling better but then noticed Friday afternoon that my feet and ankles were swollen and elevating them for an hour didn't do much so I just watched. Bummer, as they were doing a lot of fun stuff, sigh. Saturday they were better and Sunday they were fine. Right foot has stayed fine, left is mostly fine (checked just now -- left is fine). No pain except the usual places :D
There's been a lot of work on painting the barn by various (mostly) relatives. Even I did some work -- painted up in the cupola with nephew Chris and his wife Beth, a little painting down below and also scraping (tidying some windows). We still have a few more windows to neaten up, which I might even get to this week. The cupola was fun -- C and B had climbing gear so I got roped in and wore one of their helmets for standing up in a couple of the windows.
Most of the garden (what we've managed to plant) is looking pretty good. Need to get out and pick strawberries tomorrow and see if the soldier beans are coming up. Probably have to re-plant seeds for squash because of the cold we had, plus the loofah seeds. Need to get rid of more violets in the herb garden as they're crowding things like my scented geranium.
Irises blooming all over the place around here :) Nice that my MIL and I both like irises!
The event this past weekend was very nice despite us getting off to a rough start (left a scroll at home and poor L had to go back and get it) and my new bow breaking. Oddly I haven't found that to be terribly upsetting. Beautiful weather, lots of folks to talk to and visit with, and I learned a bit about throwing axes.
Staff class tonight was fun -- we got to learn new stuff!
