Small (what's the word I want for good things?)

Flowers at Art in Bloom 2025, Center for the Arts, Black Mountain NC



As you can see, the paintings are already in existence, and the floral artists then make an arrangement to reflect the mood, design, colors, etc with flowers.

 I had a great tech support person with Apple, who walked me through how to load photos from the iCloud into my blog. It may become easier. For now I have to go through each step carefully!

Here are some old photos that somehow do exist in the PC, and can be loaded "in my Apple computer." 


Never have found a good place to post this...so here it is!

I've got a neurological appointment. They finally called today (last Wednesday) and gave me a February 23 appointment. Ha ha ha.  We talked about how their office is way  north of Asheville while I live east of Asheville. And we talked about the date. No list of cancelations to be called. So people apparently call them every day to see if there's a cancelation. Right. At least I got the 2:50 pm appointment rather than the 8:20 am one!

People with memory difficulties, with fingers that won't behave because of tremors. Every day. Oh, they said, go back to your provider and ask them to send you to another clinic. I made the mistake of telling them the first one wouldn't take Medicare any more...I hope these folks still do, and that I live so long!

Joy of joys...some photos (tiny files) dragged through on the PC via emails.




The postage stamp size of balcony!


Some succulents before the rainstorm that evening.



An aloe which never seems to get very big.

I'm trying the new med for the shaky fingers, which has side effects of course. Must try taking it a week. So sayeth my doc.

It was sea turtle day and my friend Teresa had some new turtle jewelry from her friend in Indiana who thinks her birthday is in June rather than January. And a new blouse too!

  1. That's a looong time to wait for an appointment like that. Hope you'll find other ways of coping while waiting... ♥

  2. Are neurologists so scarce there in Asheville Metro Area or are there lots of folks with neurological issues? February? Really?

  3. It seems there are long waiting times for all doctors.
    I hope your medicine helps you.
    Love the flower art and your plants.
    Pretty photo of your friend.
    Take care, have a wonderful week!

  4. For a specialist appointment, that doesn’t seem exceptionally long. My specialist guy took 8+ months to see me, and then almost another 6 months to get around to the surgery. On the other hand, we do tend to expect things to move faster down there under the private system.

  5. I guess things are different in RI. My referrals constantly call. But I am fortunate in that most of my problems are mostly at the nuisance stage. Just need to schedule a follow up colonoscopy.....had to skip the last one due to hip surgery.
    My aloes are insane. Love that quote from Margaret Mead
