I'm an old Hippy with a new hip.

[PaulH]

I'm recovering from hip replacement surgery a week ago and while I'm allowed short walks around the house with a walker I'm forbidden to go down to my bonsai garden. Thank
God for my wonderful wife who brings my trees up to the house so I can try to keep up with Spring pinching. Here's a Kandy Kitchen maple from yesterday...

So good to hear all went well on your surgery! Kudos to your wife for all her support!

Hoping you have a speedy recovery

There is nothing like the love of a wife seasoned by years of marriage. I'm not sure I would have made it without my wife, and not sure I would want to without her.

Don't forget about the trombosis medication and I hope you recover as fast as you would reasonably like to!

nice, I had never heard of the cultivar until I spoke to him. Already a repeat customer though. Good luck with the hip.

I really got to make a trip up there, Round Valley is a 4 - 5 hours drive from me. I picked up a few Shimpaku last year from my sensei who gets them wholesale from Ed, awesome material. If you don't mind me asking, what kind of prices would I be looking at for material like this from Ed? I realize his prices can be slightly high (I suppose this is subjective), but you get what you pay for in my experience.

Is Round Valley Nursery actually in Round Valley?
Looking at a topographical map one day I saw the oddity of Round Valley.
So we had to go see it.
Strange place.
Kinda eerie. Few cars. Almost none.
Looked like an Indian reservation.
Quite a trip but memorable.

I'm pretty sure my hips will be one of the few body parts I have that won't need replacing. Good luck with your recovery... slow and steady!

 

[PaulH]

you get what you pay for

I think this was around $300 but don't really remember. I think Ed's prices are a bargain for very hard to find material.

You tamed this beast really well. Good eye for detail possibilities and the end result. Keep up the recovery plan. It takes time but following the recovery plan will make the result much better.

WAY different direction. The Round Valley we went to is north in Inyo County. This pic shows it a bit.
