First Spring Sunset!

Mrs. F.G. captured our first sunset of the summer season the other day, taking a couple of shots from the deck and then walking out onto the golf course to get several more.  Sadly, that's something I can no longer do, but she did a great job. The results were stunning.  Enjoy.

Meanwhile, life goes steadily on.  My leg is in a zimmer brace which holds it more or less straight, though it hangs down at a bit of an angle in the wheelchair.  It has reduced the swelling quite a bit already, and we see the orthopaedic surgeon tomorrow to see if anything else is necessary. 

We are of course self isolating still, though I'm headed outside as soon as I finish this and will ride up and down the street if it's not too busy.  My photography is severely limited now, so not sure what I'll do for blog posts, but we'll see.

I've now figured out the doors I need to get through in this new configuration, and I figured out how to position myself to use the dishwasher.  Otherwise, I'm doing a lot of reading, watching the odd video, and still doing some limited exercising.

Outside Mrs. F.G. is slowly filling the planter boxes with gravel, mulch, manure and planting soil, so it will soon be time to update you on that.  Our first crop will probably be some lettuces. 

Take care and enjoy having time on your hands!

  2. Mrs. FG is truly becoming an accomplished Photographer. Great Sunset Pictures.
    Hope you are able to get out for some Fresh Air and still manage to Socially Distance yourself.
    Be Safe and Enjoy the lack of traffic.

    It's about time.

  3. Quite the sunset -- absolutely beautiful. Having your break repaired with a screw should shorten the time you need to have your leg immobile, but it would be completely understandable if you're reluctant to have surgery again.

  4. Magnificent sunsets, especially that gorgeous color in the first two. I do hope you have a chance to get out and enjoy the fresh air a bit. And thanks for the update with the broken leg, I was wondering. :-)

  6. Love those skies, and as the virus restrictions are with us all, just have to make the best of every day. Yesterday was the first time we have been anywhere since 20th March, and it was for the flu vaccination. Strict control measures at the doctor's surgery, and we drove home, without a cafe stop, a detour to a see a friend or anything else that might be called exciting.These days, we are excited at getting the usual milk and meat. Lettuces, they will be so welcome, and a " Pick your own" garden is the best. Take care with the other leg, we do not want to read a repeat event at all.

  7. Those are fantastic sky shots...love them all. And I understand about figuring out how to maneuver with the leg. When you start planting, that will be interesting to blog about. I have been resorting to old photos a lot for my posts since Roger's stroke. He is not crazy about going for drives now.

    There are probably people that have not se

    When you start planting, that will be one thing en your old photos and would enjoy seeing them...

  9. Sunsets and sunrises are always special times of the day and especially so if one is in a good location to see them. Good stuff Mrs. R.G.

  10. Stunning skies. I bet that kept you focused for some time. I a glad you can get out on the street. That is important. Just gettig fresh air. Maybe you should rig a light box and work on still life photography indoors for a while?

  12. Awesome sunset and captured perfectly. It is so hard to stop taking pictures as the sky changes in some way within minutes, seconds.
    Glad there is help to get you comfortable with your leg.
