...well, it's been two days since my steroid injections, and it appears to have had a positive effect...there is still pain, but not as severe, and I got feeling back in my left thumb. Didn't go to work today, but I went out and chopped wood for the stove, until the pain crept in again...
A pretty day up in the high country...the sky is as blue and fresh as ever , white clouds scudding across the Rocky Mountains out my window,a bit of snow scraped out by Devil's Thumb and Byers Peak...it's like one of those days we have so often in the Spring and Summer...when the sun will be shining and warm, and yet your walking through a shower and seeing double rainbows in the East...today the sun is shining as the snow is falling down lightly and I turn to the East and almost wish to see a rainbow...but I have learned patience from Mother Nature...and I know that most likely my patience will be rewarded this evening with a beautiful alpinglow of pinks and purples that will make the snowy peaks around me shine like a necklace of pearls...I will watch until the growing cold and darkness chase me in the house to fire up the stove...and after the fire is stoked and my hands are warm again, I can't resist the temptation to step out on the porch and take in the millions of stars that seem so much closer...I remember in California growing up how the stars faded out of my life as the place I lived became just one more of L.A.'s bedroom communities...and I am so grateful to have the stars back in my life...they have a way of keeping me in my place, if you know what I mean...
