At last it has stopped raining, and I can take a few pictures of flowers before they shatter or fade. Yesterday was Earth Day, and I had plans to write about it. But we had an appointment with Norm's eye surgeon and then I spent 4 hours last night and early this morning marking a quilt top that will go to a quilting group, the Spanish Lake Quilters, for hand quilting today.
Norm is doing well. His doctor checked his vision in the operated eye and with the new implant he was reading the chart at 20/30, very good progress for one day after surgery. We will go back for another checkup in a week. Part of Norm's wonder and delight is seeing colors with his "new" eye. The tulips above are color-changing; they start out yellow or pink or white and then additional colors appear in the petals. They practically glow from within. The little "butter and egg" jonquils were transplanted in the 1980s from my parents' garden in Tulsa to our yard in Ferguson. We brought some with us to this yard when we moved. Seeing them provides a precious link to the past and joy in the present. Thanks to friends and family who check the blog and who have been saying prayers for Norm's healing from the surgery.
