New Happy Place

The weather has been incredibly warm this week. Mom has enjoyed sitting out on the front porch, watching the daily openings of springtime in Texas. She has even had a lovely reunion with Mittens the cat. You can see her behind Mom's wheelchair wheel. Today, Mom let me push her around the block to admire azaleas of every hue, redbud, spirea, tulip magnolia, and camellias.

When she is not outside on the front porch, Mom's secondary happy place is the front window. From that vantage point, she can look at her new landscaping out the front door or out the front window on the neighborhood. She likes that the mailman waves to her. And she can watch Nate cut down one wretched blooming wax leaf ligustrum after another. Plus she can hang out with her new best friend, the oxygen concentrator. Yes, Mom took Christy's advice and is wearing oxygen most all the time now. It really makes a difference in the way she feels, and that's what we're all about.
