Got home today and noticed the very first few blooms of the season on the orange flame azalea. This is one of our favorites:

It appears the coral colored azaleas at the back side of the house are about at full peak right now:

Hello--

Just checking in. I am still working out. I've been busy with family stuff and gardening. My grandmother fell in her apartment and hit the wall so hard, she dented the drywall. She was in the hospital and then rehab for three weeks. They changed her diagnosis from Parkinson's to Multiple System Atrophy. She is going to be 85 this year, so rationally I know some sort of illness is to be expected at her age. But she is still my gram. I am closer to her than to my mother. I have been wanting to visit her, but my mom is always there and we don't get along at all. Decades ago, my mom was diagnosed with a (cluster b) personality disorder, but she never really thought she needed help for it. So, she is very difficult to be around. When I was first engaged to my husband, I moved to England to live with him. She came to visit and amongst the chaos she created was going back and telling my family my husband was beating me. My grandmother called me crying, thinking I was being battered and was begging me to come home. My brother wanted me to come home and even his girlfriend called me. My husband has never laid a finger on me! When my son was a baby, she threatened to call DCFS on us for abuse. I called her bluff and told her to do it. I was willing to let any case worker into my house to prove there was no abuse, so she backed down. These are just a few incidents off the top of my head I experienced as an adult. She is very upset when she is not the center of attention and she uses all sorts of tactics to express her unhappiness of not being the center of attention. I have learned to be non-reactive around her, but that is tiring after a while.

Anyway, I have been wanting to visit my gram and just help her out. I could cook some healthy meals, portion them out and freeze them. So all she has to do is stick something in the microwave when she's hungry. But she wants to visit this summer, so we're trying to make that happen. Unfortunately, my mom comes with her. But my house is large enough that I can get away from her when I need it.

So, I have been busy with that sort of stuff. I am really pleased that the weather is warmer and I am able to get out for walks in the sun. I love seeing all of the flowers and trees come back to life. I bought some plants and bushes and have been putting them in the yard. I'm just really looking forward to the warmer weather for grilling, sitting outside on weekend mornings with coffee and a book--that sort of thing. :)
