This and That

I spent most of my weekend outdoors. I finally completed my full sun garden in my front. This is actually an enlargement of a garden I put down here last year - as you can see a few things already growing here.

My dilemma here is that I cannot afford to go purchase blocks for this garden like in the other one in the background. The pesky dog that had been visiting is not going to be around anymore so I don't have to worry about having the black rubber edging ripped up by a dog who knows no boundaries. I was thinking of just moving these blocks to my back yard area where I still have more new beds to put down. The front yard would blend better I think. Ya'll let me know what ya think.

I planted all of my bulbs and rhizomes I had purchased and direct sow some seeds here. I planted the iris's in the bed behind this one. Here I have dahlias, phlox and clematis and from last year there are cannas.

Well the insurance reform act and Obama's health care plan has been signed. I am one of the ones who are suppose to benefit from this. I have no health care and I am employed. My employer does not provide any options for health care coverage. I really do not have a clue what all of this is about and though I have read some of it and have listened to the highlights I still don't know when and how it will affect me.

I am about to purchase me some insurance though. My hope is that my pre-existing conditions will be covered and that I think is much of the insurance problems. I know that the new plan is suppose to block insurance companies from excluding pre-existing conditions.

I recently had a pap smear that has come back with abnormal cells. The doctor who performed the procedure is a clinic I go to for working people who have no insurance. They provide a great service by charging a fee based on income and also by providing services like labs and so forth at a discounted fee. Cost is much less than if I had insurance AND they also provide some of my meds straight from their personal pharmacy for free. OK the abnormal pap - the doctor is wanting me to go to another clinic for further testing. Here I am with no insurance and could be facing mounting medical bills. I am thinking if I don't go for further testing till after I obtain insurance then maybe they will pay for it because I have not been seen or treated for anything abnormal. Give me some feedback blogging friends.

We are expecting some really nice weather for the rest of the week with hi's around 70 and low's in the 50's.

Not really much going in my world. Guess that's a good thing. Hope you all have a wonderful day and that everyone receives some sunshine.
