I overdid it on Friday, moving tomatoes and peppers out onto our enclosed porch. So Friday was a pain (literally!). And I did follow Doctor&#8217;s orders; he gave me no restrictions, just do what my knee would let me. I had two tears in my meniscus, so I guess the repair took a bit more than we talked about prior to the surgery. Luckily we castrated baby pigs and disbudded the goats before the surgery! At any rate, I&#8217;m real lucky to have a homesteader husband who took over all the chores with no grousing. So he&#8217;s been extra busy! Today, my knee feels some better so I have hopes that in a few days I can get back at it again. I don&#8217;t do &#8220;sitting around&#8221; real well!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Will-tilling.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3214\" alt=\"Will-tilling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Will-tilling.gif\" width=\"446\" height=\"360\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>All of a sudden, everything is turning green.

Our orchard looks great and the trees are swelling with buds. I can hardly wait for blooms. But last night it was 22 degrees so I hope they wait awhile so we get fruit this year! &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Okay I&#8217;m a bum, but, hey, I had knee surgery on Thursday.
