It was a busy week. Marie left on Monday, which was Memorial Day. I had a dermatology appointment on Tuesday, and had to have a spot on my cheek removed for a biopsy. They also treated other sun-damaged spots, leaving me with a slightly beat-up looking face. And it rained.
I always rest in the car for a while after that sort of appointment because I want to be sure that I have recovered enough to drive safely. The spray that they use on my face leaves me lightheaded. I took a picture of dogwoods through the wet car window.
I canceled the dental appointment that I had for Wednesday because I wanted a day to recover before the funeral that I was going to on Thursday. It rained again, and stopped long enough to take Charlie to Riley Park for a quick walk.
On Thursday, the weather was good. I’ll write about Dr. Poland‘s funeral later.
Yesterday we had more rain. There was a tornado warning, but it didn’t touch down here, although I heard it was seen in Page County. I did pick up my grocery order during a break in the weather.
Today was quite chilly for the end of May. I took Charlie to Camp Roosevelt for a walk, not venturing far from the car because there was a chance of rain again. I’ll share pictures from that trip on another day.
In the meantime, here’s an image for Caturday.
That sounds like a tough week, but there's something quietly poetic about pausing to rest and capturing the beauty of rain-blurred dogwoods
ReplyDeleteLove the Charlie photos and the cute garden statues. The cat art is great. Love the blossoms too.
ReplyDeletePretty view of the mountain. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great week ahead. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
The water drops on the leaf is exceptionally evocative.
ReplyDeleteI hope the issues with your skin are all resolved now, and that you’ll be fine!
ReplyDeleteEvery six months I go to my dermatologist and even though I wear a wide brim hat and slather on sunscreen 365 days a year they end up zapping in a bunch of places on my face, ears, arms, and hands, and every so often take divot of skin for a biopsy.
ReplyDeleteI've learned that it stings like crazy for a little bit, then my face goes numb but that doesn't last and after about five minutes after I get in the car it hurts like crazy for a little bit. So I always rest up before driving home.
Lovely close up of Charlie and cat art. Hope you have a better week.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful and captivating series of photos! Bless your heart, sun damage can be painful. Take good care of yourself, and thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAside from being busy, your photos show you out and about having fun and your posts are always great to see!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of photos. Especially enjoyed the one of Charlie checking out the frog and the leaf covered in water droplets but they were all lovely to look at. Wise to cancel the dental appointment after your doctor visit. One needs a break between them, that’s for sure.
