A Winter Surprise

Posted on February 21, 2024

 

A little promise of spring to come waiting for me as I returned to the house from the mailbox one day. I didn’t plant this patch of snow crocus. I guess I was gifted this winter surprise. 

I go in for another root canal later today provided the infection is cleared up.  Wish me luck and say a few prayers!  I’ll be back tomorrow with my newest edition of TAD.  I’m gonna leave you with a Ray Stevens novelty song that I stumbled on.  It made me smile and I’m sure it’ll do the same to you.   Y’all have a wonderful day! 😘

      My root canal went well. I had hoped that the tooth wouldn’t need a crown but the dentist recommended that I get that done for better reinforcement which is exactly what I plan to do. Thanks for your concern, my friend!

    Beautiful crocusses and so magical that they shown up out of nowhere😺We have some in Angel’s Place too and we also haven’t planted them. So special. Maybe they bring hope for a magical healing of your Root canals✨ That was a funny video…MOL…Healing Pawkisses are on the way for a wonderful day, CK🙏

      I suspect a critter transplant the snow crocus to ours, probably while hiding his winter stash. 🙂 However they came to be here, I’m happy for their arrival. It makes for a happy surprise!

      Going to the dentist is never fun but I’ve gotten use to it and thankfully it doesn’t feel me with dread like it did when I was a child.

    I’m praying it went well.

    The snow crocus patch is most beautiful.

    Ray Stevens is a hoot, always has been.

      Thanks for the prayers, Sandee! Everything went beautifully. The procedure wasn’t painful and much easier than last fall. I guess location of the tooth is better and the doctor was drilling through my natural tooth instead of the material my bridge is made from which is super strong stuff.

    How lovely to see spring flowers already! 🙂 Oh yikes! Root canals are NOT fun and I hope all goes well, Cathy. 🤞🍀 Haha – Ray Stevens’ song is timely, given Taylor Swift’s headline domination these days.

      Root canals aren’t fun but honestly it’s a whole easier now than it was 40 years ago when I had my first one which was very uncomfortable. I love that numbing meds are more powerful now. I couldn’t feel anything, other than a tiny prick followed with a small amount of burn by the medication which was totally tolerable. I love Ray Stevens and thought it was super fun the way he rolled Taylor’s song titles into his little ditty. Personally, I think she’s a bit over-rated and I’m tired of hearing about her. She’s talented but there are very few of her songs that I can honestly say that I like a lot. “Shake It Off” is probably my favorite because it’s just so fun.

        I’m glad it all went well. 🙂 Good to see Ray Stevens is still recording at his age! Gives the rest of us hope. 😀 Yeah, I’m sick of hearing about Taylor Swift too and her songs don’t appeal to me much, either. I am impressed by the level of her talent, though, and remember her first hit, when she was only 17. It’s actually pretty good:

    Hoping for a pain free root canal for you. Surprise crocuses – maybe planted by a squirrel? And that song was so cute, especially the way he incorporated a number of her song titles into his lyrics. At 85, Stevens is still going strong. Alana ramblinwitham

      We do have squirrels, along with an assortment of other critters roaming our yard at odd hours. The squirrels are probably the guilty party but I place no blame on those little bushy tailed creatures but like to say thank you for planting them there for me. Ray Stevens looks frail but he doesn’t act it. He works well, speaks, and sings well. I hope we get the chance to go to one of his shows in Nashville. That would be awesome!

    Ohhhh beautiful flowers. Yes, I will light a candle for you and the tooth. I had to have one extracted last week. So good luck and healing energy.

      Ouch, sorry to read of your dental problems! DH has had a number of extractions and implants over the past decade. That’s really hard on the body. I hope you’re doing okay with it. As for me I’m bouncing back. Thanks for your well wishes and positive vibe, my dear!
