Stuffs

 Been building up my garden, getting prepped to paint my roof and doing some spring cleaning. Saw my doc.  My lower back is worse.  She asked if I needed more pain meds.  You know it's not good when they ask if you want more.  I told her no.  I'll continue just taking one when I need it - right now it's not even 1 per day. I know as it gets worse I'll have to up it but I'm trying to not rush that.  She also asked if I'd be willing to get a shot in the knee for my arthritis since my right knee has been killing me.  I hate needles.  I said yes please do she's going to arrange that.  I've built a trellis for my cucumbers out of bamboo.  I found out that gorilla glue doesn't stick to parchment paper.  It's got to dry overnight but I'll install it tomorrow.  The trellises I'd seen online were not what I wanted and too expensive so I did it myself.  I'm also working on a trellis for some morning glories but that's going to utilize some fencing and two sides of a crib my buddy found for me.  Right now it's a work in progress.  I've got so many tomatoes planted this year I might have to can some.  It's crazy.  My potatoes look good and the hummingbirds are already fighting over the feeder I put up last week.  So things are ok.  The little neighbor kid called me fat and ugly.  Then kept telling ugly at me out the window.  I'm going to throw tomatoes at him this summer.
