I Make a Fashion Statement, the Hard Way

This is the color Janette picked for her babushka:

No, her hair isn't that tall--the wind was blowing from behind her.

 This is the color she picked for her laptop:

This is the color she picked for the Fat Little Puppy's winter coat:

And this is the color she insisted upon for her sister's new cast:

Yep, I broke myself again, on February 10.  This time Bella had nothing to do with it; I slipped on a patch of ice in the driveway.  Broke the end of the radius (the bone on the thumb side of the arm) into several pieces AND fractured the titanium plate that they had screwed onto the ulna (pinkie-side bone) in 2005.  I had to do some fast talking (as did my church's prayer group!) to get them to consider trying a cast instead of going straight to surgery, but the x-rays I had last Tuesday showed that the gamble had paid off and everything is looking good so far.  Another 4 weeks in the cast and we'll know for sure if this works.

Meanwhile, Mom and Janette have stepped right up, as have the neighbors, to fill in the gaps.  Fortunately, I had gotten all that experience using my left hand only, so I can still manage many chores.

Todd and Joanie from down the road brought a big bale of hay so I don't have to make so many trips to the barn every day.  The Barn People are happy as clams to be able to munch 24/7!

But quite a few plans for late winter/early spring are on hold now.  And my blog may not be updated too often--typing with one hand is a pain!
