So the first picture is not dramatic, but the second picture shows what is going on. I have a spiral fracture of the fibula. Find out tomorrow if I need surgery to stabilize it. Either way, I'm stuck on the couch for a long time.

Spring is busting out everywhere! I love the colors of the Japanese maple and the rhododendron! #gardening #pnwlife #flowers

Oliver romped through my gardens while I weeded. He discovered the hillside and all the steep, wild parts of the yard, so he was very happy. #gardening #Australianshepherd #doglover

One last shot of Athens and the Acropolis, this time at dusk when it was lit up. #Greece #Acropolis

Probably the last of our Greek photos as we leave for home tomorrow and we only have the evening in Athens tonight. #Greece

We took a beautiful boat ride around the island of Hydra, stopping at some iconic beaches where, if it's warmer, you can sunbathe and swim along with the mega rich. Not shown -- the massive yacht anchored in one of the bays. The big white house is, according to our captain, "one rich lady's house."

Our first day on Hydra, Greece was filled with sunshine, donkeys, cats, beautiful ocean scenes, and tiny exquisite houses.

Busy day yesterday! We saw the Roman Agora and the Greek one, as well as beautiful little churches, tortoises and cats. So many cats!

The Acropolis was gorgeous. Lots of preservation work being done, and there was even a cat to oversee it all.

First evening in Athens was beautiful. Staying near the Acropolis, which we can see from our room. Breakfast is on the rooftop with a great view as well.

Loving this daffodil and wishing everyone in the world could just be enjoying flowers instead of all the crap going on. #gardening #daffodil #pnwlife

I love this tulip! It came up again from last year and I hope it keeps coming every year. #gardening #pnwlife #tulips

Tulips and sunshine. Spring is here. #gardening #tulips #pnwlife

I worked this chunker in the round pen today. It was in the mid-70s and Indie was definitely feeling good. #horses

Turn your face to the sun and have a great day! #daffodils #gardening #flowers

Sometimes you just got to take a nap. #puppylife #australianshepherds #dogs

The daffodils are blooming! #gardening #daffodils #springtime #flowers

Lyra has become my quilting room cat. She's terrified of Oliver, who freaks out when he hears her tiny meow coming up from the basement. I don't know when they'll ever meet. #catlovers #catlife #cats

Sunset two minutes apart. Two minutes later, the color was gone. #pnwlife #hoodcanal #Olympicmountains

Oliver discovered bees yesterday. I hope he sticks with looking and smelling and doesn't try to eat them. #AustralianShepherd #doglife #gardening

It feels like spring outside. #pnwlife #gardening #daffodils #flowers

More hellebores! #gardening #pnwlife #flowers

Did you ever hear the story of The Prince and The Pea? #pnwlife #australianshepherds #gardening

The camellias are blooming as well. #pnwlife #gardening

The hellebores are blooming! #gardening #pnwlife #flowers

These two are a mated pair of bald eagles that live near our home. I just missed filming them creating the next generation 😁. #pnwlife #hoodcanal #birdsphotography

Eagle in flight. #PNW #OlympicMountains #wildlife

Oliver says, "Hello! Do you want to play fetch?" #australianshepherdworld #pnwlife #doglover

If you need a laugh, here's Oliver trying to reach the last kibbles of horse feed in an otherwise empty bag. He was in the garage while I made up bags of feed and supplements. This was minor trouble. Next, he started chewing the bags and throwing them around. #australianshepherd #gardening

May you have an Oliver-happy day tomorrow and every day. #pnwlife #australianshepherd

The morning fog took until mid-afternoon to burn off. #pnwlife #gardening #hoodcanal

Happy New Year, featuring the many moods of Oliver! #Australianshepard

Puppy meets ocean. Oliver was a bit scared of the big water that chased him then ran away, but he loved the beach! #australianshepherdworld #australianshepherd #pnwlife

Guess who's 20 pounds?!!! Oliver's getting so big and loves his toys, walks, and bed. #australianshepherdworld #australianshepherds #gardening

I grew this dahlia from seed in my bed in the greenhouse. It should bloom all winter. #gardening #dahlia

Our visiting hawk finally posed for some good photos. I think it's squirrels and birds 4 and hawk 0. I haven't seen it do a successful hunt here yet. #pnwlife #gardening #birdsphotography #hawk #hoodcanal

Beautiful sunset last night. #pnwlife #gardening #hoodcanal

One last splash of gold. #gardening #pacificnorthwest #autumn

Brilliant colors today! #gardening #autumncolors #fallcolors

Oliver has almost doubled in weight since we brought him home. He's getting so big! #gardening #australianshepherds #puppies

Fall in all its glory. #gardening #fallcolor #autumnleaves

Early morning in the garden. #gardening #autumn #fallcolors

Someone wants to say hi! #puppy #australianshepherd

All signs point to fall. #pnwlife #gardening #autumn

Fall is here, but this clematis blooms very late, and the dahlias and hydrangeas are still going. Bonus glimpses of my greenhouse in the background. #gardening #pnwlife #flowers

Still no frost to take down the dahlias. They might bloom until November! #gardening #dahlia #pnwlife

Dahlias bloom on into fall. #gardening #pnwlife #flowers #dahlia

We had a visitor to our feeder yesterday. It tried to catch another bird, which was the first I saw of this hawk, but the other bird escaped. All the others that had been flocking around the feeders disappeared. Pretty cool. #pnwlife #gardening #birding

Nature's garden. #pnwlife #gardening #gardeninglife

Probably my last rose of the year but quite lovely. #gardening #PNWlife
