.

Life is HELL !

                                                        The last few months have been Hell !

October of last year I had a "Episode" I was found on the floor and I don't remember anything for several weeks, still don't I lost a month.  Emergency room, ICU, several different hospitals. I sorta woke up but don't remember much ,still don't.  Several rehab units, assisted help and now I am living in an Assisted Living Home.

I hate it !!!!!! 

 I miss my Home and most of all my Good Dogs.  Sir Winston Mandible Churchill has been re homed  and is now living with a wonderful Scottie Family. I know he is very happy I have seen the photos but my heart is breaking. Agatha is living with the younger son but she needs to find a home with another dog friend and yard, everything she had to give up.  

Older son is the one who jumped in and started to change my life much much much too fast. I know he thought this was best but it wasn't and now I am trying to figure things out. He lives in Japan most of the year but I needed the time to make a plan before he left to go back.

Now for the whipped cream with a cherry on top... 

The Macular Degeneration  has progressed at an alarming rate. I can not see a straight line and black blob are floating around. So very tired  eyes all the time. I am an artist who can't see ! Yea Me !

                                         I will be posting off and on when I can but with more  photography. One of the somewhat easier art to do.  I want to keep up as much as I can for now.

                                          Hope all is well with my blog friends.

cheers,  parsnip

 

I am late !

Small update....

I have been on bed rest I ripped a nerve in my back. Then we had a Gas Leak in the home

3 weeks with no hot water. Using a camping shower kinda fun if not for all the pain.

Yea me !

.

My Bravo Two !

 

THIS TIME IT IS NOT MY FAULT ! MAYBE.....

Finding Clouds

                                           I remember this day being very hot and very dusty

 .

                                  Rain drying up before hitting the ground. End of rain for now.

Love when there is just a tiny cloud in the sky.

        Japanese son tried to start a garden,before the summer hit. Even with timed water a very HOT summer, wiped out everything plus the two months they spent in Japan didn't help either.  They had lots family/friends to see. The gud dugs and I spent Tucson, indoors with the Air Conditioner on.                                                                            Thank Goodness for Solar.

         So I left most of the greens out for the sweet  little animals plus lots of water. They deserved it.

                                                                         

 Now with everything going on, I lost  "Blogs I Follow" so  I have no idea how to fix my computer.                                                                This time it is not my fault. 

That is my story and I am sticking with it ! If I every find your blogs again  I will be reading them.

                                                                 

                                                                        cheers !

I need to setup an appointment with my Garden Doctor to talk about the fruit trees and cactus.
