Back in Texas it was bluebonnet time.
And Stanley started a new garden in the common area of our park.
APRIL
On April 4th, Jim and Veti threw an early birthday/ recovery encouragement party for me. Painting supplies! I must admit that my efforts with those supplies are NOT ready for public viewing.
And then it was Tuesday, April 7 . . . surgery day!
I came home on Thursday and
On Friday, the rains came. And they kept coming. We have been dealing with excess water now for six weeks . . . My entire recovery time!
Pictures of flooded areas get a bit boring after a while. Time to get a little artsy.
