Ice Cap - Knee Cap
When the weather dipped into the teens the first night we took a picture of our backyard pond with the underwater light on. It was just beginning to snow. There was not enough snow to protect our flower beds and flowering shrubs that responded to the 60 degree weather only days before.
This morning the ice is attempting to build up on the waterfall.
This is not ice!
This morning while that ice was forming, the hubby was undergoing arthroscopic surgery.
This is his torn meniscus, captured by the miniature video that the orthopedic surgeon uses to examine, scrutinize, and repair. Isn't that amazing?
Now the hubby is snuggled up in the recliner, next to the fireplace, sleeping off the effects of the anesthesia . . . . . with an ice-pack on his knee. Keeping him this way for the next few days will be about as successful as discouraging ice from forming on the pond.

I've been hoping that some of my commenter's could explain their State motto's to me, you have been no help!!!
Hope he's comfortable and pain free.
We're freezing down here as well.
Loved your pictures of the pond!
(How do your fish fare in all this cold??)
:)
ouchy, your poor husband. Knee surgery is NO FUN. I feel his pain. Ive had 3 knee surgeries after my car accident. My lateral meniscus is gone forever.
hopefully your husband heals fast and 100%!
ps thanks for emailing me!!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words regarding my sad feelings over the loss of my mother.
Take care,
Connie
I so want a water mathingy in my back yard too. We have a HUGE amount of Sandstone rock that seems to pop up after every freezing. I have hauled truck load after truckload out of my back yard trying to make a place for grass to grow. I think I should try a water fountain thingy this summer... ?? I like the underwater lights.. did you do it yourself?
I was going to ask when your husband was going to start his PT, but I noticed that might be controversial among the commenters, so even though I'm a nurse I think I'll instead just wish him speedy healing!
Hope he heals quickly, for your sanity as much as his.
And I heart Vicki just for using the word "mathingy."
Hope your husband has a fast recovery, regardless of how well he follows doctors orders.
Vicki... you will have to go back to my archives and learn about the pond... there once was a globe willow .... sigh.
The hubby built it and I helped as much as I could.
I love to listen to the waterfall at night.
i can only wish my backyard looked like that.
It kills me when I have to nurse Victor. He's such an awful patient.
Hope hubby recovers well!
Gorgeous pond - you must be one of those gardening types.
Man, I have pond envy. Beautiful in EVERY season!
