This one is mostly a time and weather issue but I did have to go in and clean up a bunch of the overgrowth I allow to stay for the winter months. Why do I do it? Because it provides food (flower seeds), shelter, and nutrition for the ground. Once I see bugs moving around, I'll clean it up and send some off to the local landfill (yard waste only). Some goes into my own compost. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4KIBc6tCYtZYI4rdfCGSxjOvhmP_3YUtIj1eSLt5hX1LW-gynwkWTZ5jqHtu8zFDSOfH6owhyphenhyphenvhIp8rLPjnkfE8a65s-E1aB7WAmzsYBnyIjrZ2ptqf0sY0mZN7q48DpPeQ19bCVUNj4/s2016/IMG_3094.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4KIBc6tCYtZYI4rdfCGSxjOvhmP_3YUtIj1eSLt5hX1LW-gynwkWTZ5jqHtu8zFDSOfH6owhyphenhyphenvhIp8rLPjnkfE8a65s-E1aB7WAmzsYBnyIjrZ2ptqf0sY0mZN7q48DpPeQ19bCVUNj4/w640-h480/IMG_3094.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Among the pretty growth of my perennial flowers, you'll notice the switch of pots. I took all my blue pots and grouped them on my back patio. These two matching pots look nice here with the arbor and then I added some new white and black pots for my front porch. I'll do a separate post for it as it still needs some work. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Unfortunately after I took this photo, we had a hard freeze so I'm not sure how my sweet potato vines are doing. I may replace them this weekend if they don't perk back up tody and toorrow with the warmer weather. I cut off the brown leaves and they aren't completely dead yet. The rest is looking great though! I plan on updating this photo often as the plants continue to grow and bloom. I need to take out a lot of my purple coneflower and replace my butterfly bush I lost a few years ago, but that'll maybe happen this summer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It literally came raining down on me. My friends thought my roof was collapsing because it was so bad. I knew it wasn't as the top floor of the house is the master suite and it has spray foam insulation everywhere. The black shingles, pink insulation, and other junk that came raining down, was from an old chimney that we did not know about. More on that later. </div><br /> <p></p>Megan {The Brick Bungalow}http://www.blogger.com/profile/16617271434771438500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3824424908362883814.post-84657590176689392312020-07-22T08:25:00.000-07:002020-07-22T08:25:29.156-07:00{Lily's Garden} June Update, #2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The hydrangea (first picture) is huge! It's an oak leaf hydrangea and starts off with white flowers but they age to pink. It's roughly 9' feet tall. The privacy fence is 6' and the trellis above is another 3'. Here is the same hydrangea in 2016 - in <a href="https://thebrickbungalow.blogspot.com/2016/04/lilys-garden-april.html" target="_blank">this post</a>. And <a href="https://thebrickbungalow.blogspot.com/2014/07/lilys-garden-june-update.html" target="_blank">here it is</a> in 2014 when it was just a little thing!

The second photo is looking back towards the street, the opposite of what I normally take, but I liked the look. I'm tempted to figure out how to spray paint the fish a glossy black, but I can't take the stuff off/out, so I'm not sure. I may still try and hope for the best! Everything else in the garden is black (fence, shephard's hooks, etc.) and the big arbor trellis will be going back some day too. I want a nice, cohesive look with black accents. Black is also used throughout the inside of my house (hallway, living room ceiling, and basement stairwell) and backyard (mostly with black patio furniture). </div>

And yes, I know I'm posting a June update when it's nearly August but it's been a crazy summer. I need to get back out there and weed like crazy and then I'll post more pictures. </div>

<a href="https://thebrickbungalow.blogspot.com/search/label/Lily%27s%20garden" target="_blank">Lily's Garden </a>has been in full bloom for a few weeks now and I love it all! The coneflowers are a bit out of control but it's a nice, semi controlled chaos of a cottage garden. The weeds may be getting out of control but I'll get out there soon and take care of everything ... once the heat decides to chill out and/or we get a nice rain to cool things down (and soften the soil!). </div>

But for now, lets enjoy the pretty lilies and coneflowers, ok? I'm going to do another post of my annuals, but these are all perennials here in Missouri.</div>

I hope you are all doing well and staying happy and healthy.<br />
<br />
Awhile back, my dad and I made raised beds for my back patio. After a lot of discussion, we chose to set them on the concrete as there's plenty of patio space and it allowed for an easier build. We still had to deal with slanting concrete and a few other issues, but nothing that wasn't dealt with. Lots of pictures so enjoy. If we're friends on Facebook, you've seen most or all of these!<br />

So you can see the photos are from a few different days as things have grown. Even our grass is now growing better, which is crazy because the chickens are confined to one area and the dogs to another. But the garden is doing great. There's a tomato, cucumbers, tomatillos, a few random plants from seeds, and a bunch of flowers. I added the blue bird bath after realizing it wasn't being used in Lily's Garden. I mad continue to add a few pots to the backyard but it won't be right now.<br />
<br />
The next "phase" is to buy a few 1/2 whiskey barrels and put 4x4 posts in them with hooks. The bottoms will be planted with flowers and the tops will have strings of lights connecting them, making a big square around the patio. It'll be a great addition and I can't wait to see it all finished.<br />
<br />
Another thing on my to do list (and it's been there for awhile), is that stupid shed and hopefully the bushes in front too. I'll finish painting the shed at some point but those bushes need to go! They don't flower or produce anything. They are big and ugly and currently also growing poison ivy. I'll either replace with something flowering and pretty or functional like blueberry bushes. But it's in the chicken yard, so I'll have to be careful with what I choose.<br />

We have been blessed with the ability to escape our house and small town for my parents' farm. They've been in quarantine with us, as they were watching Nate before it all happened, and we only see each other. I truly feel for those people who can't visit with their parents/grandparents. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We rode their side by side (we call it the buggy), enjoyed the woods, and visited their pond, where we attempted to catch fish but had no luck. We did see a bunch of bullfrogs that were very loud. </div>

And while in the woods, we were driving through on the buggy and my mom says "I think that's a bat!" so we stopped and looked - and yep, a little bat was hanging out on the tree limb. I believe it's an Eastern Red Bat, a solitary bat known for living in trees. I was able to get up close and personal with it so I could take a few pictures and a video. After others looked too, it decided to fly away. </div>

How are you handling this crazy time? As a teacher and a mom, our days have been busy with online meetings and a lot of online work. I participated in a great Zoom yesterday with the creators <a href="https://www.thesparkfile.com/" target="_blank">The Spark File</a>. I am not normally a podcast listener, but I will look into this one - the two ladies were amazing. </div>

Before Nate was cleared from his post-op restrictions, it took two people to move him at all times. My mom was at my house most of the time with me, and a lot of times, my dad was too. He was here working on my house (the back bedroom). So as we made the switch to working at home due to the quarantine, I had some time in the mornings that allowed for a walk. I really enjoyed the time to myself to start the day, knowing that the exercise was good for me, and just enjoying nature as the world continues to go crazy. I ended up walking almost every day for two weeks straight which was great for both me and Rex. I would end up going on an hour long walk or longer and one of my favorite spots was down in the river bottoms where a flock of pelicans were visiting. I know the photos aren't the highest quality due to the zoom, but it was still an amazing sight!</div>

I've had this large canvas for years and could never settle on it. I had started something on it twice but never was pleased. Then it finally hit me the other day - paint a giant lotus on it. So I worked on it over the weekend. It's done in acrylic and the photos are from when it was still wet. I'll finish it soon (hopefully) but I'm liking it more and more the way it is. I may hang it up just to see if I still like it. My problem is I can't figure out where to hang it - maybe in my living room on an empty wall? Or upstairs in my bedroom on a very empty stairwell wall (tall and wide). </div>

Lots of colors are in this painting. I thought of it as a true under painting, with hints of these colors showing through as I layered. But then some stayed, so I don't know. It felt good to paint again and I need to use up some canvases that I've been collecting. I also have a few that are painted with other things that will probably get covered up. No one needs a still life from art school 20 years ago. </div>

Hello again friends!</div>

I posted about my <a href="https://thebrickbungalow.blogspot.com/2020/04/back-yard-garden-refresh.html" target="_blank">Back Yard Garden Refresh</a> and how I moved some things around. In the middle of moving the actual garden bed areas, I wanted an area to set up a bug hotel. For the past couple years, as they are becoming more popular, I'd see them all over the place and knew that I wanted one. Well, I had this old metal dog crate that was missing the top (or bottom, whatever), and so I decided to repurpose it. It's definitely a work in progress as I need a lot of the "extras" but I was using what I had on hand. </div>

I started by placing a divider, which some random thing in my shed. I don't think it went to this dog crate, but it was something I've always had at the house. </div>

I added the terracotta pots as they both have cracks in them and I don't use them for actual planters. I figured that if they continued to break down more, the small pieces could fall through the bottom of the crate. The metal piece leaning next to the planters is something weird from my shed. I honestly have no clue what is is but I thought I'd throw that in there too. </div>

I moved the two plastic terracotta pots from the South Side Garden as the plants inside had died so I can redo that this summer. They may have flowers, they may have raspberries or herbs, who knows!?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The thing sitting on top of the crate are dried loofahs that stayed outside all winter. I figured that their little holes would be good for bugs. I shoved a small one in the small terracotta pot. </div>

I stole the U shaped log from my parents' farm and added some random wood pieces from my shed. The little bricks in the back are old stepping stones that broke, and I'd like to add a shelf tower on top using small pieces of wood. </div>

And above is what I've stopped at. I'll add more twigs and wood from my yard, plus I need to grab things like pine cones and other natural elements. Mulch and broken pots are underneath to fill the space as I put the crate on bricks to create a space under it. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What do you think? Have you made a bug hotel? If so, what have you put in it? I have a little bee hotel that was bought and hung on a fence in another part of the yard. I wonder if I should move it above this area and make a little collection, or leave it where it is? </div>

Hello Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Way before Corona hit the world, I've been planning on doing a little makeover to my backyard garden. It was expanded last year after finding a ton of free rocks on the curb nearby the house. After three trips home with them, two beds were created. The garden soon took over and it was out of control, especially the loofah plants. But it always looked bad. The grass died, luckily, and it was just needing some help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before, looking towards the garage. I had everything but the mulch on hand, so it was just a day's worth of labor and $20 worth of mulch. The day was on the chillier side but look at that bright, blue sky! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Before, looking towards the shed (kind of). The galvanized container got shifted to the far right and I had moved the cattle panel, not pictured, away from the fence to put somewhere else. All the rocks near the fence were also moved by yours truly. It was a nice arm workout. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And because I hate working with gloves, although I probably need to get some, my hands got dirty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And after, looking at the garage. Some day maybe the garage will be fixed up with different siding. The front and sides are brick but this extension was wrapped in this weird fake brick junk that looks like shingles. It works for the time being and may just be covered up with a trellis or something. Suggestions welcomed! It's West facing but gets a lot of South afternoon light. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyFGkNX6rQwILQApLFlkbNeT312H6TfnxO9xfnmh0HHGFjXi6ysAWZtCZjAGxX9KnTZ0mOLfWdhAWlJeIilcmmMh5PPKnaHVLN84ztZU3h2Lr-WCBJXUi7RFydILNdvgm_uLGTCfiOsQ/s1600/IMG_6064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyFGkNX6rQwILQApLFlkbNeT312H6TfnxO9xfnmh0HHGFjXi6ysAWZtCZjAGxX9KnTZ0mOLfWdhAWlJeIilcmmMh5PPKnaHVLN84ztZU3h2Lr-WCBJXUi7RFydILNdvgm_uLGTCfiOsQ/s640/IMG_6064.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, with the help of about 10 bags of mulch (the $2 kind from Walmart), and reusing all the stepping stones that I had been piling up as other parts of the yard were being changed, I created the above photos. I moved the galvanized rectangular raised bed form and loaded it up with compost and dirt that had settled from the first time it was back there. It now houses a blackberry or raspberry plant (it was new last year and never produced so I can't remember). It's spiky as can be though, so who knows if it'll stay here or get some trellis help or something. Gardens are always changing here. I may still move the rocks that run parallel to the fence to a different area of my yard, but time will tell.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then moved two terracotta pots back next to my new bug hotel that I'm working on as the plants that were in them on the South Side Garden died. I thought they looked nice by the fence. I then moved a terracotta succulent (or strawberry?) planter to the bug hotel as it's never grows anything on one side and would be a nice way to block some chunky chickens from devouring all the bugs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be back to post about the bug hotel as it's a work in progress. I think it's a good start and after some more additions, it'll be a great space for our buggy friends. </div>

Obviously life has gone crazy for all of us and I know I'm not the exception. Between my school being closed for three weeks (now five, one being our Spring Break), teaching online with pretty much no experience (to no one's fault, I'm not blaming anyone), and being a mom to two kiddos at home going through their own online schooling, life is crazy - as is the everything else in the world. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

But, I'll try to stay optimistic and so I will be enjoying the time home with my littles as we navigate our new norm. </div>

I have "office hours" for work, which means that I will be updating lesson plans, reaching out to students, and creating virtual projects for kids. I honestly am not sure how I will do this for the whole month of April but I'll figure it out this week as we have off. I also have some extra time to myself, so that's been nice. I've gone for morning walks with our dog, Rex, and doing extra yoga at night.</div>

Lily both loves and hates the online education piece but will be the one who misses her friends more than anyone.

Nate was already doing homeschooling due to his Perthes Disease. He is supposed to get his cast off on April 1st so we aren't sure how that will be. The doctor did say that he wants him there to be seen at some point but the date may change. </div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello again friends! Two posts in two days - the perks of being at home! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you check out my first blog post about our "Back Bedroom". I'm going to call it that until I figure out it's real purpose in life. But technically it is a bedroom and in order of our rooms, it's the back room. Lily's is the front, Nate's in the middle, and then there's this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dad painted it a beautiful gray color that's slightly on the warmer side which works great with the beautiful floors that he uncovered. These floors weren't even sealed before the carpet and pad were GLUED DOWN EVERYWHERE! He literally hand scraped these babies after putting a glue adhesive remover on them. I truly don't know what I'd do without him. I know I'd be stuck with ugly, gross, shag gray carpet that was flattened down over the <strike>years</strike> decades. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And then there's the transition to the kitchen... which is a totally different issue and we'll get to it later. Let's just say that my dad and I have been curious about this room for YEARS. 13 years almost. And guys, side note - the kitchen is getting GUTTED this summer. More on that later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But look at those crappy, ugly floors. Eye roll... </div>

This post got off topic after all the pictures of the layers and layers of crap in the kitchen. We may decide to NOT pull up everything (umm...asbestos) and call it a semi loss - a loss as to not exposing the hardwoods that we are 99% sure are under there (it's all level with the other rooms so it would make sense) and leave the plywood you see in the photos and then tile the whole kitchen like the bathroom (wood look tile). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It may honestly just be up to my dad if he's into ripping it all up and all the chaos that it'll include, or not. I'm honestly ok with both ways and know that both would look amazing in MY NEW KITCHEN (again, more to come in the summer). </div>

I can't find a picture of the true before, but I'll keep looking. It wasn't much better, to be honest, as it was all dingy white paneling and a broken window (thanks to Rex). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This room was the old TV room that had nasty, gray shag carpet, and the paneling and a weirdly boarded up doorway between this room and Nate's room (in his room it's a closet). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, one day while the kids were at their dad's, I ripped off part of the paneling. My dad then stopped by and needless to say, it became a family project. It's obviously gone on from there.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_0EM4yBkeCde_HL51s2EeRNyOxqUMF4vxHRODw0vus00NP74S8w-aGKQvfjrYJJS_Senje8NeLgwAx3Yevdo9UdbmfKhVcImQ_qv-SwMEmc3eFGzo71CdCS1w1xpmDqzvgbaVvOTn_I/s1600/IMG_5157.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb_0EM4yBkeCde_HL51s2EeRNyOxqUMF4vxHRODw0vus00NP74S8w-aGKQvfjrYJJS_Senje8NeLgwAx3Yevdo9UdbmfKhVcImQ_qv-SwMEmc3eFGzo71CdCS1w1xpmDqzvgbaVvOTn_I/s640/IMG_5157.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Even Lily joined in! She helped put extra spray foam around all the windows for extra insulation. And talking about insulation, my dad added extra 2 by 4's to the walls (which are brick on brick) and so that allowed extra insulation. On the exterior walls, there's a layer of thin foam (see below), pink insulation, spray foam around outlets and windows, and then the drywall. </div>

And then the fun part ... paint! I had this idea in my head from an image I found on Pinterest (that I always seem to lose the original source) of a beautiful guest room that went with black and white photos, black accents, and a lot of varieties of animal prints (cheetah, etc). </div>

I'll continue showing off the room on Instagram and here - check back later for the wood floor details. It's beautiful!!! </div>

We went out for my cousin's wedding (sibling to the one from last year) and enjoyed every minute! We wen to Pike's Peak, road the Royal Gorge Railroad, went sight seeing over the Royal Gorge, entertained the kids at the Dinosaur Experience in Canon City, and had a lot of fun, family time with the wedding. The weather was beautiful and it was another great vacation! </div>

We are always learning more with each doctor's visit to Shriner's Hospital in St. Louis.</i><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>So what is Perthes?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Perthes is when the blood flow stops going to the top of the hip and causes the bone to die. There are stages to this as shown below.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for perthes disease stages"" height="640" src="https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.135/e30.99d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Perthes-By-Stage.png" width="640" /><br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for perthes disease stages"" height="181" src="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a357b69f43b5511730afd6a/1517445406531-9HO7PHCEY1RFVEK4ZJJH/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kK7zf5nm6fTXBLggjsY_uEhZw-zPPgdn4jUwVcJE1ZvWQUxwkmyExglNqGp0IvTJZamWLI2zvYWH8K3-s_4yszcp2ryTI0HqTOaaUohrI8PIkk9OhaLOqA-vQS10BNqErrBcE7zAx8me-HX1-ZTLB2Q/Lateral_Pillar_LCPD.png?format=1000w" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Perthes is patient specific, meaning that each and every case is slightly different. Age of patient, stage they are in when diagnosed, etc. can all play an important part. Time and length of disease can also vary, as it's about the bone dying and being regrown.<br />
<br />
Doctors have differences on treatment. Some are wait and see with restricted activity, some are straight to surgery. This can vary depending on patient too.<br />
<br />
Long term effects and complications can arise, but not always. This isn't a "fix it now and be done forever" issue.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Random Info:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We've been told some small tidbits of information in appointments and as I hear more, I'll share here.</i></div>
<br />
One of the biggest things is <b>range of motion</b>. This was mentioned at Nate's first post-op check-up. We asked about when you know he's ready to not have the brace and the doctor mentioned range of motion. So there's no time specific date for the brace, although Nate will be in for the rest of the school year - roughly 5-6 months.<br />

Edited to add: this is long and I'm trying to break it up for updates. </i><br />
<br />
In the beginning of the year, Nate, my son, started to limp. At first, we blamed the planter's wart on his foot and then the blister that the medicine made didn't help. He had the medicine put on the last week of March. The blister and healing after the blister took most of April. In May, the limping was still bad enough that we finally were able to be seen by an orthopedic doctor. One of the nurses in our local hospital's ortho unit, noticed his hips moved odd and stiff, so we had x-rays done right then. She brought up something that we had never heard about (and neither have many others) and that's Perthes Disease. It's technically Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease.<br />
<br />
I hate the word disease, so we'll shorten it to Perthes.<br />
<br />
So what is Perthes?<br />
<br />
Perthes is a random, rare issue that is caused when the blood stops going to the top of the femoral head. This can happen for unknown reasons and is not necessarily trauma based. Nate wasn't in an accident, he wasn't hurt in any obvious way. He was a very active 5 year old, preschool loving, energetic boy with no previous health issues.<br />
<br />
The doctors told us to follow the "restricted activity" method and so we pulled him from baseball and kept him from running and jumping as anyone can control an active 5 year old. He could still swim, which was great because our family's love of water and how it's a great physical activity for hip problems.<br />
<br />
But Perthes and the lack of blood flow to the femoral head then causes the bone to die. This process can take a long time and is called Necrosis (dying bone).<br />
<br />

<br />
The second stage is fragmentation, which is where both of Nate's hips currently are.<br />
<br />
<img alt="Image result for perthes stages"" height="640" src="https://secureservercdn.net/198.71.233.135/e30.99d.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Perthes-By-Stage.png" width="640" /><br />
<br />
In November, after months and months of therapy (physical therapy and water therapy), I went with my gut feeling (aka Mom's Intuition) and called Shriner's Hospital in St. Louis for a second opinion. I took Nate up by myself, thinking they would be saying something similar to what our local doctors were saying. I was wrong! He was told, by <a href="https://www.shrinershospitalsforchildren.org/st-louis/meet-our-team/perry-schoenecker-md-350" target="_blank">Dr. Schoenecker</a>, that he shouldn't be walking at all and that he recommends surgery. At first I thought "really?" then realized that I went to Shriner's for a reason - they see Perthes every day, multiple times a day. They've seen it in all stages. Our local doctor has seen maybe 1-2 cases in their career. Dr. S. is also known around the United States as a leader in Perthes and Perthes treatment. As much as I hated the word surgery, I trusted this man to know what he's talking about. Dr. S also mentioned that he had it in both hips, which is even more rare. Our local doctors knew this (it was in paperwork I printed off after getting our Shriner's appointment) but never told us this.<br />
<br />
One week before Thanksgiving, Nate went in for surgery. He came out of it wearing a Petrie Cast in bright red (his favorite color). He had a abductor tenotomy, where a tendon is cut. They were able to push one of the hips back into socket without a lot of push back and hopefully the cast will help do its job. You can read more of the treatment <a href="https://orthoinfo.aaos.org/en/diseases--conditions/perthes-disease" target="_blank">here</a>, if interested.<br />
<br />
After Christmas, Nate gets his cast off and he will get his brace. It'll still be an A frame type shape and will be worn 20 out of 24 hours of the day. Which means he'll have time for therapy and baths. I'm hoping that he will have aqua therapy again, which helps build strength.<br />

And new to me this year is Nasturtium. I bought seeds earlier this year and literally pushed them into the ground all over the yard. I had no idea if that would work but it did! It's about the only thing I've successfully grown from seeds as my poppies didn't grow this year (which I'm bummed about). I guess sunflowers have worked but those things act more as volunteers than anything else. </div>

The Golden Raspberries (one of the bushes in the top photo) did amazing this year. The plant grew many off shoots and I will be moving some this fall or next Spring. The fruit from the original plant was great and the kids loved it! Definitely a keeper and one to try if you haven't experimented with it. </div>

In the photo above, we have a blueberry (which did produce this year but it's just a baby), the golden raspberries, and tomatoes in the containers. I ate my first tomato today, a little baby cherry tomato. Behind the containers are strawberries and they are doing great. We ate two large berries last night that rivaled those you buy in the store! The lettuce and kale have been given to the chickens as their time is up in the garden. </div>

What are you growing? We also have blueberries in our front yard, more (regular) raspberries in the back, sunflowers, more tomatoes, loofahs (trying for the first time), and maybe a pepper plant if the chickens didn't eat it. </div>

Last week, I finally tackled the back half of Lily's Garden when it came to the weeds. Guys, it was bad! I had tackled the front portion over Spring Break or earlier in the year before I laid down mulch. But the back part? Nope. And then it rained, got hot, and repeated because it's Missouri and the weather likes to do that. But then, thankfully, it cooled off after some storms and so the ground was soft and the weather was good and I got my butt outside to weed. </div>

Three hours later, it went from a giant eyesore of green weeds, grass, and overgrown dill to where you can see my rock paths, recycled brick pavers, and my plants again. And then it sat there, exposed dirt and all, until I finally added mulch to it a week later. </div>

See? I mean the landscaping fabric doesn't care about stuff anymore as this was all between it and the rocks. And oh so much grass. Thankfully there was no poison ivy in the mix, as that's all in the backyard (where are my poison ivy eating goats?!). </div>

Stopped to enjoy the flowers I can see again. I added the above purple Scabiosa (I believe) earlier in the year and then ignored it, knowing it had enough rain to survive. </div>

You can see the bricks! And the rocks! It's not 100% free of weeds (probably never will be) but it's there and I can walk around and enjoy the back half as easily as I do the front. And now, I can take 30 minutes to an hour in the mornings to do light weeding, when necessary. </div>

I need to figure out what to do with the fireplace insert. My dad got it from an old job site of his and I used to put flower pots in it. I think it needs to be moved to a better spot, more of a focal point, but the thing is a beast and I don't really have a better spot. Suggestions? </div>

Starting from the right and going left (since that's how I took the next few photos), we have a blueberry plant inside the cage and what I believe is a bee balm in the corner. I may have to remove that as it's about the only plant that will bother my allergies. Next, and looking great, is a golden raspberry. Strawberries, which are planted in the back behind the pots, and are sneaking around front. In the first container there is lettuce but now it's a tomato. </div>

The containers with kale and lettuce are now homes to tomatoes. The mint has taken over the front portion of the garden and may be thinned, or removed, this fall. If you need some mint, let me know! There are a ton of beautiful strawberry plants and a Russian Sage in the back. </div>

On the fence is a clematis, which I love, but it's not looking great. </div>

I revamped the AC and meter area with more colorful rocks, a larger area, and a plant to help hide the AC. Nothing too fancy as I don't want it to be fully blocked, but a good way to add some more color and use out of an area I don't want weeds, grass or a lot of plants in. </div>

I'd love to continue the garden from the AC to the front of the house with the addition of more large containers and more herbs and flowers. Time will tell on that one. </div>
