Hi everyone, it's been awhile. I've been busy taking care of my wife. It's not getting better. She has 2 new tumors, a new one in the brain and one inside her lung, the cancer has metastasized into her hips. Immunotherapy has damaged her thyroid, so we are stopping that and going back to radiation

When it rains it pours. Thursday, as we were leaving for Patty's radiation treatment we heard a crash as we shut the door. Got home we saw that the sink plumbing had broken away from the kitchen sink. Oh well, at least I know how to do plumbing, only cost $500 in parts #badtiming #fuckcancer

So here's my latest #dahlia #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Today, we finally got a name, non Small Cell Lung Cancer, Stage 4. She has 8 more rounds of radiation on her spine, and then the chemo starts. She's confident, the Dr's and nurses are confident. #fuckcancer

She got her 4 target tattoos yesterday. Radiation starts on Monday. She says she's ready to fight, I believe her. She's going to win. 💪 #fuckcancer

Today, I bring my wife home from the hospital. Started as a trip to the ER for unresolved debilitating back pain early last Wednesday morning. Now she's coming home with Stage 4 Cancer, a chemo port, and a radiation schedule starting tomorrow. I just want to scream. #fuckcancer

Yay! The first #dahlia of the year for me! 🌱🌿📷 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Here's a little flower called Scotch Broom. It's an invasive species here, but it sure is beautiful. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

How about a Brown Belted Bumblebee for #WorldBeeDay 📷 #bee 🐝

It's World Bee Day! So, here's a #bee

It's #lily time! 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Another Amaryllis bloomed on the front porch. 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

🎵Don't go chasing waterfalls🎵 is actually terrible advice! Yesterday I did just that. We traveled Hwy 49 in California's northern gold country. The stretch between Grass Valley and Sierraville along the Yuba River is beautiful this time of year. #nature 📷

Amaryllis! Totally forgot about this plant in the garden till it said, "Boom, here I am!" 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport

Out in the garden this evening, the #Iris are still showing their stuff. It's been a good year. 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

As one passes, two grow to replace. Such is life. #rose 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Today, we have grape bloom on a Flame seedless. Each bunch of grapes is a mini superbloom. Each flower is a grape.😋 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Today in the garden, we have a pink #rose that looks like some kind of dessert or candy. I want to eat it! 😋 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

From the neighbors yard. #Iris 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Another one of my #Irises, a Dauntless Iris. It doesn't have all the frilly stuff, but it does have some beautiful colors. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

A constellation of pink #roses. 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Today in the #garden, it's #rose vs #iris 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Peachy! #Iris 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Today's #Iris appears fragile and delicate with its touch of yellow and translucent edges. #FlowerReport 🌿🌱 #Bloomscrolling

Now it's time for #Irises in the garden #FlowerReport 🌱🌿 #Bloomscrolling

Today's word is: Prolific 😉 #rose #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

The garden is coming to life! An Arizona #Rose with yellow centers and pink edges. Later in summer, the edges will turn dark red. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

From the garden this morning, Double Delight. #rose 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Purple! Saw this hyacinth at the store for $4.99, and I couldn't pass it up. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Pink! #rose 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Boysenberries! Flowers that turn into food are the best flowers of all! 😋 #gardening 🌿🌱

Today's #rose is called Midas Touch. I love the color, but it's a very delicate and short-lived bloom. You get 1 day of full bloom and then it starts to fall apart. 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Purple! #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Yesterday it was yellow, today it is pink. #rose 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

Like butter #rose 🌱🌿 #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

The first pink rose of the season, caught in the evening sun. #rose 🌿🌱 #FlowerReport ##Bloomscrolling

How about some big ol, shiny, bee butt? 🐝 #bees

It's going to be a good year for #roses #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling 🌱🌿

The #bees are buzzing in the Holly blossoms. 🐝🌿🌱

And so the season begins. It's been a long dormancy this year, I can't wait to see what spring brings. #FlowerReport #roses #Bloomscrolling 🌱🌿
