A river of cactus

A river of cactus.

The cactus flows down this sandy hllside near my daughter's home.

                                                               Sunset from my window.

                                                                  Raindrops are raindrops.

I have several post ready to go but.... I can not seem to get the photos right.

Still trying to get settled in my assisted living home. So very different.

Rain could be plentiful or. . .

Rain could be plentiful or scant in coming days.

Got to love Tucson Arizona Daily Star. This all depends on the trough on the way over the Pacific Ocea, sliding down from the coast from Alaska.  It all depends on to where the moisture will be and how much will get sucked up ahead of the though. 

I have always liked following what and how of the Arizona weather. What a hoot !

.

Still working on what goes where in the apartment.  Two small rooms, area? Need to finish ! Soon ! Next I am trying to get son to help me find everyones address that my computer has lost ? After all it couldn't be my fault.

                                                       No matter what we need to smile.

Still "moving" in... one small apartment and I just keep trying to fit in this space.

Shadows and Reflections.

Wonderful ! I love the play of shadows.

Catcus at The Hasicenda Del Sol.

Reflections of my glass globes on the ceiling.

Getting settled in my apartment with the help of daughter and sons. 

Even Agatha is always a big help.

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.
