Greetings friends ~ Here it is almost the middle of December. We are having cooler temps, with rain and continuing cool temps for the next week starting Saturday. Right now the sun is shining in a big blue sky, we have winds @ 15 mph with gusts @ 25. The temp at 1:12 pm is 72 but real feel is 68.
Yesterday I had cataract surgery done on the left eye, on Nov. 20th I had the right eye surgery. This morning I had a follow up on the left eye and all is doing well. Eye pressure normal. It is a little blurry, to be expected, but getting better as the day marches on. The brightness of colors is truly amazing. I didn't really realize just how bad my eyes were. It was a weird three weeks having one eye cloudy and one clear. It really made me appreciate being able to see clearly.
I can hardly wait to get back to needleworking with tiny and bigger beads, threads and ribbon. I looked at photos in my computer of projects done a few years ago and got inspired and excited. I also can hardly wait to start working in gardens again. They are so overgrown it is embarrassing.
I've been blessed in this eye experience! With a great, kind surgeon, nurses and staff, with my friend Kathryn's help taking me to every appt. And just recently I was blessed a friend paying for the laser end of my surgery bill. God is so awesome in how He cares about our lives and He has been with me through this whole thing. I've been blessed with love, prayers and encouragement. Now I'm on the other side of surgeries. Thank you Jesus.
It is the Christmas season and I look forward to decorating my little cottage, with my heart full of gratitude and my eyes being able to see true, wonderful colors again.
I pray that you all have a lovely Christmas season. It's all about love, real joy and peace, not just about gifts.
Love, hugs and prayers,
FlowerLady

Joyful news from Plum Cottage! So glad you can see better each day after recovery and excited about new projects.
I wish you a very Merry Christmas and Peace.
Hi Lorraine! It's always good to hear from you! I am so glad to hear that your cataract surgery went well. Good eyesight is such a blessing. My eye doc tells me that I have some cataracts that will need to be removed in time, so it is good to know that it makes a real difference! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. See you again soon, I hope!
Was happy to find your post notice in my sidebar. Glad your surgery went well. Here's hoping you'll soon be back to your needle handwork. I love that photo of the 'God is love' heart. Beautiful. Wishing you a beautiful weekend, Lorraine.
Hooray for being on the other side of your surgeries and seeing clearer already. It truly is a gift. God bless you dearly this Christmas season with peace, joy and comfort!
That is a beautiful photo of Christmas decor in your header photo and happy news about your cataract surgery and help with paying part of that bill. Christmas is a time of giving and of receiving. Love you Lorraine.
