Today's Flowers

 Yesterday and today I have been walking in the park. It's a mostly level, safe place to walk, and of course, I had to check back on the cherry trees.

They are in full bloom, and so beautiful!

I walked on the path through the woods too. The new green is also beautiful.

Red Flowering Current hasn't lost it's splendor. Our cool weather prolongs blooms.

I walked a little over a half hour each day,  distancing .82 and .83 miles. That's a slow pace, but that's what I can manage for now. I've had setback, but I'm workig through it. 

With Tom's help on the uneven ground and high reaching, I picked new flowers from the garden for the table. 

The next two days are supposed to warm up. Tomorrow we'll have breakfast with friends and on Saturday we plan to spend an hour in the sun at a Hands Off Rally. 

I wanted to make a small sign but there are too many issues for one small sign, so I just did this.

I can wear it around my neck. It's a hands free sign. :-)

April Flowers

 

This Amaryllis bulb was a Christmas gift. Tom has been growing it in his greenhouse, and now it is emerging as the most beautiful red! There is a second bud stalk coming when this one is finished with it's show. 

The camellias are finally starting to bloom. This one is from my mother's garden. So long ago now, Tom took a cutting of it from the farm in Oregon, so it is a treasured plant.  

As you can see, I have decorated for Spring/Easter. I'll post more decorations later, but if you remember, you will see that they are the same year after year. 

The roosters came from Sweden and the chickadee bell came from Concord, Mass. Those were from trips way back in the days when we traveled, but they hold memories. 

I am hoping to get outside on April 1st. I am still having a lot of trouble staying upright and dealing with various pains, so let's hope the April Fool doesn't mess with me.

Happy April!
