Waiting and Wondering........



Last week I walked along the river.......


Spotting pussy willows along the way.


I even saw a beaver actively building his dam.


Yesterday, my Mom had a massive stroke....so today, we sat in the hospital, waiting and wondering.
Just last week, my Mom was recovering well from cataract surgery, anticipating spring and adjusting to her newly improved eyesight. It doesn't look good.

We are in shock, but thankfully we are together as a family....so we wait together.
