Now...starting off from the draft post that I started many months ago.</div>

In May I had right knee surgery for a torn meniscus a problem that bothered me since January.</div>

June started out okay, but Tom was in a minor car accident, and a few days later on June 15th, my beloved husband passed away from a blood clot. So devastating and heartbreaking to lose my husband and best friend. Tom and I had been married 47 years. The silence in the house is deafening. It's been so hard, but I take one day at a time. My 2 sons, family and friends have been a wonderful and have kept me busy. I didn't feel like doing anything, but had to keep moving and family saw that I did. I still go to the nursing home to feed my mom several times a week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I continue to do everything for my 91 year old aunt. Auntie recently fell and shattered her shoulder, had surgery and is in rehab. \\</div>

July 25th was the first anniversary of my dads passing. I miss him so much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also in July, doing a good deed, I tripped and landed on the my right knee that I had surgery on in May for a torn minescus repair, and also tore my right rotator cuff. I am still going to Physical Therapy.</div>

In August, I went to Maine with my cousins for a few days as they had to go to a wedding. While they were at the wedding I met up with an old friend from nursing school who lives closeby to Wells, where we were staying. I made plans to meet up again in September with Susan and her husband as they were coming to Cape Cod for a few days</div>

September our cranberry harvest began and ended only a few days ago. Last week I went to Ocean Sprays headquarters in Lakeville, MA for a grower luncheon. Jason and Henry the guys in the cranberry bog that do the commercials were there and I had my picture taken with them. I donned waders and went onto the flooded, just water picked cranberry bog for a photo.</div>

No time for art, but take my camera with me everywhere I go as I find it is good therapy to be outside taking nature photos. I really can't wait for 2015 to end as it has been a horrible year. It's been so long since I've posted on blogger I can't remember how to change my photo at the top of my blog. Urrgh!!!</div>

All of the above are weathervanes that I recently took photos of on Cape Cod. A lot of them I found driving home on route 6 A.<br />

The 2 photos above I took on 5.20.15 in Plymouth. The dome with the ship weather vane is on the Post Office in the center of town. I was high on a hill on Newfield St, visiting my mom at the nursing home. Yesterday the Mayflower 11 was being brought home by a tug after spending the winter in Connecticut where it underwent repairs and new paint. I was about one and half- 2 miles away from the boat coming into the harbor so the photo is fuzzy due to distance,wind and haze. I love the ship weathervane with the Mayflower in the background.</div>

Weathervanes have always fascinated me; so lately I have been stopping to take photos of them when I am out and about.<br />
<br />
Here are a few photos I took this morning of old barns in East Middleboro, on Thompson St.<br />

Hello my friends, can you believe it? I'm actually writing a post on my blog. I know it has been a many, many months since I last posted. I don't know if anyone checks my blog anymore as so much time has gone by.<br />
As time went by, I just didn't know where the heck to start up again. Guess I should have started in January to start off the new year. Anyway, that didn't happen. I haven't created any art in a very long time.<br />
<br />
My mom remains in the nursing home with advanced Alzheimer's. Sad to say in the past couple of months she know longer knows my name or my brothers. At times mom will start to say something and then silence as she can't finish the sentence she started. Most of the time mom just sits and stares with a blank look on her face and doesn't make eye contact. So heartbreaking to watch.<br />
<br />
My dad has now been gone for 8 months, and that just doesn't seem possible. At times, I catch myself going to pick up the phone to tell him something or see if he wants to go for a ride.<br />
I am still doing everything for my 90 year old Aunt.<br />
<br />
Below is a photo of a bracelet my son, Tommy gave me for Christmas. I cried when he told me about the beads. The beads were made from the red roses that were at my dad's funeral. There is a woman who makes jewelry from rose petals. Tommy had a white snowflake Christmas ornament made for himself , a tie tack for his brotherand a heart necklace with a bead for his daughter, my oldest granddaughter, Katie. What thoughtful and touching gifts. I was blown away and it is so very special to me. This is the company that made the beads<br />

<br />
<br />
So... <br />
I guess the only thing to do is just start. I I will get started.<br />
<br />
Belated Happy New Years!!! I hope you all had a great January. I am going start my catch up.<br />
<br />
On New Year's Eve day Tom and I picked up my Aunt and we went to see my Mom at the nursing home. We celebrated with mom and the other residents at their New Years Eve party. We had a nice day.<br />

<br />
In January I took my sons Tommy and Steven and their families to Disney World. 9 of us in all. We had a great flight and everyone was so excited to go. We left early in the morning from T.F. Green airport Warwick/Providence, RI. Unfortunately, My husband has a bad back and couldn't do the walking so he stayed home and filled my bird feeders and took care of all of the cats..indoors and out.<br />
<br />
We didn't need to rent a car as we stayed at the Disney Caribbean Resort and with our package we had transportation to and from the airport and all the parks. We went to all of the 4 Disney parks. ( Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom) I had never been to Animal Kingdom before, and I really enjoyed our day there.<br />
<br />
Florida weather in January is always iffy...The morning we left home the wind was howling and the temperature was zero. Brrrr!!! So we were glad to be heading to Florida. We were in Florida from the 8th-13th and had temps in the 60's. It was windy , some warm days in the 70's, we had 2 rain showers but all in all the weather wasn't bad. Better than the freezing temperatures at home. It was the first time going to Disney for my youngest granddaughters, Sammi 20 months and Bella 4 1/2 . Both were so good the whole time especially during the flights and the long days in the parks.<br />

The only bad thing while in Disney my right foot turned black and blue, swollen as did my leg which also broke out into a rash. The leg swelled up and was very sore. I hobbled around the whole vacation and at night elevated my foot and leg. It didn't help much. When I got back home I went to see the doctor. Had xrays and ultrasound to rule out a blood clot. No clot, but they found a Baker's cyst in the back of the knee. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">January was a cold month and we didn't get snow until the end of the month. I spend a lot of time in Plymouth visiting with my mom at the nursing home. I love taking photos and birding. Both are such a great stress reliever for me and being outside in the fresh air getting excercise from all he walking is a good thing. I usually go bird watching after every visit with my mom. </span></div>

My son, Tommy made me this large, covered bird feeder before Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The covered feeder replaced the old one that had fallen apart that my Uncle Rei had made for me many years ago. The birds love the heated bird bath on my back deck. During one of the January snowstorms I counted 27 different species of birds at my feeders.</div>

Last Saturday, September 20,2014 was the <strong><span style="color: purple;">Alzheimer's Walk</span></strong> in <span style="color: purple;"><strong>Plymouth, MA (02360)</strong></span> and it was a gorgeous, sunny, warm fall day. The walk starts on the waterfront near the Mayflower and Plymouth Rock. This the 2nd year that I participated in the walk. My cousin, Cheryl, sister in law, Terry, daughter in law, Robin and niece, Julie and I walked for our team -<strong><span style="color: purple;">Love of family and friends</span></strong>. My grandmother died from Alzheimer's and my mother has advanced Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is such a devastating disease.

The video below is one I took yesterday at one of our cranberry bogs. The bog is flooded for a wet harvest, and the machines with big reels knock the berries off of the vines and then the berries float to the surface where they are corralled, and then with a suction tube takes the berries off the bog into a truck where the berries are then brought to the Ocean Spray plant.</div>

Do you like milk glass? I happen to love milk glass and have collected it since I got married in the late 60's. I know many think it's old fashioned, but not to me. Anyway, for quite sometime time now I have been going to Salvation Army, Savers, thrift, yard sales, flea markets looking for inexpensive pieces of milk glass. On my most wanted list to find is a pedestal cake plate. <br />
<br />
Several times a week I stop at a Savers store to see if any new milk glass pieces have come in. Most visits I find 1 or 2 pieces that are very reasonably priced.<br />
<br />
Here are a some other pieces that I have found this summer. I have more but haven't taken the pieces of the boxes yet. <br />

What do you collect? Has your collection gotten out of hand, as you can see mine has. :-) How do you display the pieces in your collection/collections?<br />

Hello my blogging friends. It has been a long time since I last wrote on my blog. So much has happened since my last post. If you have read my blog in the past you know that I did everything for my parents and elderly aunt for the past several years. My 91 year old mother suffers from advanced Alzheimer's and was home with round the clock care. In the beginning of June, mom stopped eating, taking fluids, refusing her medications. Then my mom fell and she had some skin breakdown issues so we admitted her to a wonderful nursing home in Plymouth, MA. The grounds are beautiful, and you can look out most any window and see Plymouth Beach. The staff are all outstanding as are the meals. Once mom was admitted she started eating and drinking again, and her skin breakdowns are all cleared up. Mom has good days and bad days, but most days she still knows who I am and I am thankful for that.<br />
<br />
Now to share my sad news. In the meantime my 95 1/2 year old dad remained at home. I would go over everyday to do his errands, make meals, and take him to see mom, but he was missing my mom and he wasn't feeling the greatest. In the beginning of July I ended up taking dad to the hospital ER as his belly was bloated and he couldn't keep food down. Dad was in the hospital with what they said was a small bowel obstruction and was in the hospital for 11 days. On the morning of July 7 th I ended up taking my husband to the same hospital and he was diagnosed with pneumonia. That same day my dad was discharged in the same condition as he was when he was admitted to the same nursing home as my mom. I was running back and forth home to the nursing home and the hospital. <br />
<br />
A week later dad was in severe pain and his belly was even more distended. so once again my dad was admitted to the hospital. This time dad was in the hospital about 3 days when they removed fluid from his abdomen. The next day the doctor came in to tell dad that he had advanced GI cancer. Dad was discharged back to the nursing home on the afternoon of July 23rd on hospice and passed away July 25 th at 7:30 a.m. We were all in shock. Diagnosed on Monday and dead on Friday. Everything was a blur as we made arrangements, especially hard was trying to explain to my mom what happened. <br />
My dad would have been humbled and amazed because over 500 attended his wake on July 28th. Dad's funeral was on July 29th and the church was packed. <br />

Dad was a lifelong cranberry grower and member of Ocean Spray and our cranberry harvest seasons will never be the same. My dad could fix or build anything and was a carpenter before he started growing cranberries as his full time job. We were together a lot these last several years and he loved sharing stories of his youth, the town, people he met and knew and shared his knowledge about so many things with me. Dad enjoyed when I took him for frequent rides around the cranberry bogs. I would do a little birding while we were out and he loved the photos that I took of the birds. My brothers and I always said Dad had a much better memory than we do. </span></span></div>

Hello my blogging friends. I haven't been very good with keeping up with my blog. My days remain long and busy as I run errands for my parents and elderly aunt.<br />
<br />
My Mom is 91 and has end stage Alzheimer's. Mom has been home for the past 3 years with round the clock care as my Dad wanted, but a week ago we called hospice, as Mom wasn't taking her medications, eating and drinking very little. Friday, Dad and our family made the painful decision to place my mother in a nursing home in Plymouth. The facility is lovely on well landscaped grounds and you can see the ocean from many of the rooms. We couldn't ask for a better place for my mother. The food is wonderful, everything is spic and span clean, and all of the staff are awesome.<br />
As the ambulance was leaving the yard to take my Mom to Plymouth, my Dad told me that it was the worst day of his life. My Dad built their house and they have lived in it since 1955. I was 7 when we moved in. Last weekend my parents celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary. My 95 year old father's health is fragile at this time.<br />
<br />
The past week was more hectic than usual and to make matters worse, I broke off the porcelain on my bridge. Went to the dentist to see if they could fix it...of course not. The dentist had to remove the old bridge, put a temporary one on, and I left the office $900.00 poorer. When the new bridge is finished in about 3 weeks, I will have to pay the remainder. I hope insurance will cover a portion of the $3,000.00 bill.<br />
<br />
. I've had no time for art, sewing or much of anything else, but when I have to run errands in Plymouth if the weather is good I take a few minutes for what I call therapy and go to the beach for a quick walk and to take photos of the osprey that are nesting. It is a chance for me to clear my head and take a mini break.<br />
<br />
Recently the osprey chicks have hatched. I don't know if there are more than 3, but so far that is all I have seen.<br />

At five thirty this morning I woke to a birds call that I didn't recognize at first. I looked out the bedroom window and saw it was a Carolina wren..no wait...2 Carolina wrens.</div>

I grabbed my camera and took the above photos through the window. Just as I finished taking the wrens pictures, a male ruby throated hummingbird landed in the rhododendron bush right near the wrens. How neat, took photos of him as he rested on the bare branch.</div>

I couldn't believe it, a black and white warbler flew onto the rhododendron as I finished taking the hummers photo. It was like Grand Central Station and the birds were all landing almost on top of each other. I had never seen a black and white warbler in the yard before. I couldn't get a good photo of the warbler in the rhododendron so, I threw some clothes and shoes on and went outside. The wrens were still there, but no black and white warbler. So I started making the pshing sound that often times brings birds in as they are curious about the sound. Sure enough, the warbler flew from the woods into the apple tree near the rhododendron. I was able to get 2 photos before it flew away. Great way to start the morning off.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">I came back into the house made breakfast for my husband and packed his lunch. Then I showered and got ready to leave to do my parents grocery shopping. I didn't get far. As I was getting into the car...I heard an oriole calling. I grabbed my camera and took a couple pictures of the male that was in the neighbors big, old, maple tree. </span></div>

For the past few days I gone to watch the Great Blue Heron at the Middleboro Herring Run. I will sit on the bench or the rocks and wait patiently to get some photos. At times I have seen about 20 birds. Some are carrying sticks in their bills so there must be a nesting colony of these birds further up stream that I can't get to. The birds look prehistoric. Love them!!<br />

Doesn't this swiss roll cake look delicious? I am going to have to try making it. I love making sponge cake Chocolate, Pumpkin and Lemon Swiss Rolls. So, for the next family gathering I may bring this, but my son's will be disappointed. They love all but the chocolate roll is their favorite.<br />
<br />
I found this recipe on Facebook on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/12Tomatoes">12Tomatoes facebook page</a>.<br />

What a crazy day...heavy downpours, thunder/lightening, and hail. Two beautiful days of warmth and sunshine and today nasty weather again. The trees are finally starting to bud out, early flowering shrubs and trees are blooming along with daffodils and tulips. My clematis vines are leafing out as well as my perenial strawberry plants.<br />

Some of my daffodils that are blooming in my flower garden in the back yard. The garden really needs to be cleaned and weeded. It is suppose to be in the 60's this week. Hopefully spring is here to stay.<br />

Photos of some of the beautiful birds that have been coming to my yard. I hung out 2 hummingbird feeders yesterday in anticipation of the male's that will soon be arriving. I also hung out orange halves in a suet feeder for the orioles, but it is still too early for them as they have been coming in May in past years.<br />

The herring start to run in March and run through late May. River herring live in the Atlantic ocean all year long, but in the spring the adult fish start to swim (run) up the Taunton River into the Nemasket River. They lay their eggs in Assawampsett Pond and the adults return to the ocean. Adults make their first run when they are 3-4 years old.</div>

<span style="text-align: left;"> The Herring Run festival ran Friday, Saturday and Sunday and was very well attended for a first time event. Everyone that attended seemed to have had a great time. Plans are already in the making for next year. Parking was at the KOA across the street/ Rte. 44 on Plymouth St. Buses shuttled everyone across the busy road to the festival and then back again.</span></div>

We also celebrated my husbands 69th birthday and my mom's 91st birthday as well as sang happy birthday to several other family members who celebrate birthdays in April. <span style="text-align: left;">The day was beautiful..sunny and warm.</span></div>

Yesterday it was a gorgeous day..sunny, fairly warm, but very windy. I had to go to Plymouth again (<span style="font-size: x-small;">3rd. time this week</span>) to buy groceries for a 90th birthday party I am giving my aunt tomorrow. We will also celebrate my mother's 91st birthday and my husbands 69th. Since I had to go to Plymouth, I also went to the beach. I walked the bike path and the beach, and then sat on the sand protected by a small cedar tree to take photos of the ospreys and gulls. </div>

While at the beach, I met a lovely lady (Mary) who was with her young granddauhter also taking photos. We spoke for sometime. How nice chance encounters are when you meet someone who shares your interest.</div>

This week I have gone to Plymouth 2 times..to walk the beach in the nice weather we have had. I love to hear the gulls, watch the waves lapping on the shore, I look for shells and sea glass. I also love bird watching when I am there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are some photos I took while at the beach...The Osprey are back, adding sticks to their nest and mating season has begun. </div>

Last fall when I was waiting for my car that had been valet parked at Jordan Hospital in Plymouth where I had taken my Dad for bloodwork, I asked about the old hospital building that was having construction work done on it. The young man told me under the portico of the old building there was a brick from Florence Nightingales home in England. As a nurse, I was intrigued, but didn't have time to go look.<br />
<br />
My 95 year old Dad was taken by ambulance early last Saturday morning to Jordan Hospital in Plymouth. The day after the snow storm leaving the hospital it was sunny and the snow had melted and I decided to go and see if I could find the Nightingale brick. I never would have know that this brick was there, and others that I have mentioned it to never knew the brick was there.<br />
<br />
I found the area with the brick with no problem. The brick as you can see is nothing special..just a plain brick, but I was glad that I went to see it. Why, I don't know...other than it brought back memories of my nurse capping ceremony from Sheperd Gill Nursing School, Newbury St, Boston, 1967. Each nursing student in the class carried a small, white, ceramic Florence Nightingale lamp with a candle. The white lamps are hard to see because they blend in with the white aprons of our uniforms. I am in the 3rd row from the front, the blonde 4th from the right. The uniforms were okay but those bibs were heavily startched and very stiff that we wore everyday.<br />

My Dad was discharged home yesterday,and he looks good but will continue on antibiotics for another week. Dad was happy to be back home with my Mom as he worried about her constantly because she was home with round the clock caregivers. I checked in on Mom twice a day, once before going to visit with my Dad, and then before going home. The sad thing is my Mom who has Alzheimer's never realized he wasn't home. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">All winter long my parents have had a flock of 40 plus turkeys go through their yard several times a day. This past week a big male/Tom turkey has been drumming and strutting for the hens in the flock. I guess it is mating season for the turkeys. I didn't have my good camera with me late this afternoon as I stopped by my parents house to check on my mom, but I did manage to get some photos.</span></div>

Took a ride to Herring Cove Road, Provincetown yesterday morning with my cousin, Cheryl to see the right whales that were feeding off of Provincetown. There were between 6-8 whales in this pod as the whales are starting to mate, usually you will only see 1 or 2 whales together. The whales will be around for another couple of weeks this close to shore..approximately 1/4 - 1/2 mile out. It was fun to see them skimming along. </div>

On the way home I decided to stop by the West Dennis Beach to see if the snowy owls were still around. I got to the beach around dusk and was thrilled to see an owl fly off the roof of a house and across the marsh as I was driving into the beach road where it landed and stayed. The bird sat on his evening meal...a bird for the longest time before he started to eat the bird.</div>

These will probably be the last owl photos because the osprey are starting to return and the owls will be heading back to the tundra. So I was thrilled to have ended up seeing this magnificent bird so many times on my day trips to Cape Cod. </div>

I use to be part of a lot of handmade cookbook and calendar swaps. One particular group that I swapped with we would Kliban cat rubber stamps on our pages. We made a page for each participant and someone would create a front cover and the back cover would have all the participants names and addresses. I just came across this page that I did for one of the cookbooks. When the finished cookbook would arrive in the mail it was always a wonderful mail day.<br />
