September Blooms….

 The rose keeps putting out great blooms. I need to dead head it just in case I have time for another set of blooms. Have a great Saturday.

Backyard Beauties…

 

Hospital Art….

Downtown Des Moines recreated by a local artist from a photograph.

 View of downtown Des Moines from the east looking west.

Explanation of the artwork is below.

 Art is scattered throughout all the hallways. Some are reproductions of old masters. Other works like this one is created by local artists. Most of them are computer generated in which a photo that they have taken is manipulated with color changes and great creative textures. Technology allows them to enlarge it and print it.

We are still at the hospital. Soon is the non-definite word.

Bunches.....

 

 

 

It is a busy day. They are finishing up the walk in shower this morning. The lead carpenter asked when I was going to paint in here. It looks like that I will have to paint right away as one of my towel racks was rendered too close to the shower. There are gaping holes.  I have the holes in the wall to fill in and it needed to be done anyway.  We didn't pick out the color in there. The only room we had to repaint right away when we bought the house was the bedroom, which was painted a yellow green. It looked like they had painted over a bright green to tone it down. My wife is still in the hospital at this point. Her returning home is dependent on some of her results with blood work. She is stronger every day after two major procedures being done to her. 

I will be with her this afternoon to see what the doctor is going to say.  He appears to be a little protective of her right now and may not let her go home today.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Tuesday…

A hospital view later evening as I walk the hospital halls. We are finally getting our walk in shower installed. I drive between the house and hospital to keep things going. A friend house sit for a couple of hours which helped out a lot. The finish the install tomorrow morning.

I sent a shot of the small sunflowers, top view from above on the deck. They grow on the opposite end of the raised bed along with the four tomato plants.

 The knock out rose bush is sparsely reblooming. The colors are always sharp and vibrant.

Hospital Sights…

 

Hospital Life….

 One sees so many things while here. A convict is in the hospital and they have red horizonal stripes on his jammies. We have a yeller nearby who is angry a lot. Other things that I won’t mention are on the go in a hospital. I did see an Amish young father buy many individual meals and the he pulled out his credit card to pay for it.

The hallway is a typical one.

 Our window view isn’t great. 1970’s building design and boxes sitting next to boxes means there is not always a room with a view.

I can’t tell you when we will go home.
