Flowers to Celebrate Mother's Day/Flores para celebrar el Día de la Madre


I am late in getting a post published. I have finally finished a hectic period. I still have appointments but not as many and no deadlines to catch up with my paperwork. The biggest thing I have going over the next few months is eye surgery. I see the surgeon on the 17th of this month. I will have one eye done in May and the other in June. I have put this off for a couple of years. When I had Covid, the violent coughing tore the inner visceral of one eye, and when I got it again, it happened to the other eye. According to my regular eye doctor, it sped up the growth of my cataracts. I am now to the point I only put my glasses on when I have to. They do not seem to help. I wear them when driving in case I get pulled over for something.

Me he retrasado en la publicación de un post. Por fin he terminado un periodo agitado. Sigo teniendo citas, pero no tantas, y no tengo plazos para ponerme al día con el papeleo. Lo más importante que tengo para los próximos meses es la cirugía ocular. Veré al cirujano el 17 de este mes. Me operarán un ojo en mayo y el otro en junio. Llevo un par de años posponiéndolo. Cuando tuve Covid, la tos violenta me desgarró la víscera interna de un ojo, y cuando volví a tenerlo, me pasó en el otro ojo. Según mi oftalmólogo habitual, aceleró el crecimiento de mis cataratas. Ahora sólo me pongo las gafas cuando es necesario. No parecen ayudarme. Las llevo cuando conduzco por si me paran por algo.

I am not excited about surgery, but I need to be able to see better. I know the surgeon I am going to see. I have taken 2 of the disabled we cared for consults and surgery. I also took my wife in to see him when she had both eyes done.

No me entusiasma la idea de operarme, pero necesito poder ver mejor. Conozco al cirujano al que voy a ver. He llevado a 2 de los discapacitados que cuidamos para consultas y cirugía. También llevé a mi esposa cuando le operaron los dos ojos.

We have had warmer weather after a rainy period, and everything has greened up. It also pushed flowers into bloom, leafed out trees, and my fruit trees are in bloom. We have had some rain and cooler weather the last couple of days. I am grateful for spring arriving. I usually enjoy all the seasonal changes, but spring seems especially exciting this year. It was my wife's favorite season. I find myself planting many of her favorite flowers.

Hemos tenido un tiempo más cálido después de un periodo lluvioso, y todo ha reverdecido. También han florecido las flores y los árboles frutales. En los últimos días ha llovido un poco y ha refrescado. Estoy agradecida por la llegada de la primavera. Suelo disfrutar de todos los cambios estacionales, pero la primavera me parece especialmente emocionante este año. Es la época del año favorita de mi mujer. Me encuentro plantando muchas de sus flores favoritas.

I continue to see users publishing just a photo, of a photo or two, with minimal narrative. As I alluded to last week, if you expect to have your work noticed and curated you need to add more to your post. It is difficult enough to get votes that add up to a good earning, even for those who have been around for a while.

Sigo viendo usuarios que publican sólo una foto, una o dos fotos, con muy poca narrativa. Como ya dije la semana pasada, si esperas que se fijen en tu trabajo y lo valoren, tienes que añadir algo más a tu publicación. Ya es bastante difícil conseguir votos que sumen una buena ganancia, incluso para los que llevamos tiempo en esto.

Photographs/Fotografías

I have been sharing photographs of pansies on a couple of platforms. I am sure I have shared them here. My cover photo struck me as exceptional, and I had to share it. As long as they are blooming, I will take photographs of them. The one above is very cheerful, even on the dreariest days. Enjoy!

He compartido fotografías de flores de "pensamientos" en un par de plataformas. Estoy seguro de haberlas compartido aquí. La foto de mi portada me pareció excepcional y tenía que compartirla. Mientras florezcan, los fotografiaré. La de arriba es muy alegre, incluso en los días más grises. ¡Que aproveche!

The following photograph is a tiny wildflower that I look for every year. I used a plant identifier app (Picture This) on my phone, and it is a "Yellow Avalanche Lilly, a species of Fawn lily." There are two different-looking flowers that appear to be the same, although the stamens are different colors.

La siguiente fotografía es de una pequeña flor silvestre que busco todos los años. Utilicé una aplicación para identificar plantas (Picture This) en mi teléfono, y es un "Lirio amarillo de avalancha, una especie de lirio cerval". Hay dos flores de aspecto diferente, pero parecen ser la misma flor, aunque los estambres son de distinto color.

The following two photographs are of a daisy. One place referred to them as Common daisies, while another referred to them as English daisies. No matter what the name, they are beautiful. One is similar to the one I shared last week, but a different photograph. I have planted them in two containers outside the main entrance to my house. Every year for Mother's Day, I plant flowers in containers in the same location for my wife. No matter if she has passed away I continue the tradition in her memory.

Las dos fotografías siguientes son de una margarita. En un sitio las llaman margaritas comunes y en otro margaritas inglesas. Sea cual sea el nombre, son preciosas. Una de ellas es parecida a la que compartí la semana pasada, pero sin duda es una fotografía diferente. Las he plantado en dos macetas frente a la entrada principal de mi casa. Todos los años, para el Día de la Madre, planto flores en macetas en el mismo lugar para mi mujer. No importa si ha fallecido, sigo con la tradición en su memoria.

For my last photograph, I am sharing another Pansy. Pansies were a flower my wife and I tried to plant every spring. I usually start them by seed, but these last couple of years, I purchased plants at a local nursery.

Para mi última fotografía, comparto otro pensamiento. Los pensamientos eran una flor que mi mujer y yo intentábamos plantar cada primavera. Normalmente los cultivo por semillas, pero estos dos últimos años he comprado plantas en un vivero local.

I use a Canon EOS Rebel T5 for most photographs except where noted. I do have an older PowerShot Canon camera that I use from time to time.

Estoy usando una Canon EOS Rebel T5 para la mayoría de las fotografías, excepto donde se indique. Tengo una vieja cámara PowerShot Canon que uso de vez en cuando.

This brings us to the end of this publication. I hope you find something in it that you enjoy. I will continue to update you as I move toward my semi-retirement, which will lead to more blogging.

Con esto llegamos al final de esta publicación. Espero que encuentren algo que les guste. Seguiré informándoles a medida que avance hacia mi semi jubilación, lo que me llevará a escribir más en el blog.

How nice when a husband pleases his wive in things like this, here in Venezuela men (not all but the majority) would not mind pleasing their wife by having a garden or flower plants. It really seems so beautiful to me that you still continue with the tradition for her planting flowers like when she was alive, I think you had a beautiful connection with your wife.

I love the pansy flower that you placed last because it is that color that I would like to have if I live in a cool area.

Today my window woke up with many white lilies, they look beautiful. Spring and Christmas are my favorite times of the year.

Thank you very much. I have also planted two new rose bushes on Mother's Day and placed my wife's ashes under the plants. Since I first met her she said she wanted to be cremated and then have her ashes placed under a rose bush. My daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter helped with placing the ashes. It was a very special day for all of us. I am excited to see these roses bloom.

I'm sure when you see those roses, you'll feel seeing her. ❤️

Congratulations!

Hermosas flores nos llenan de momentos agradables e iluman nuestros ojos por sus colores formas y colores, Cada una tiene un significado personal, me gustan las Margaritas aquí en mi pais la llamamos asi y hay mucha variedad. Me gusta que mantengas viva la tradicion de su amada fallecida.
