Things continue to progress so that I semi-retire. At least I have someone interested in caring for one of the ladies I care for. The target date is August 1. She is the one requiring the most work. Things should develop more this week.
Las cosas siguen progresando para que me semi-retire. Al menos tengo a alguien interesado en cuidar a una de las señoras que cuido. La fecha prevista es el 1 de agosto. Ella es la que requiere más trabajo. Las cosas deberían desarrollarse más esta semana.
My granddaughter, who is also a care provider, is interested in my 2nd person but has to wait until spring. I think I can wait that long on her. The lady is gone to a day program four days a week, which would give me some free time. She also is easier to care for. It may be good for me to transition like this. It will be different living alone in a big house.
Mi nieta, que también es cuidadora, está interesada en mi 2ª persona, pero tiene que esperar hasta la primavera. Creo que puedo esperar ese tiempo con ella. La señora va a un programa de día cuatro días a la semana, lo que me daría algo de tiempo libre. Ella también es más fácil de cuidar. Puede ser bueno para mí hacer la transición así. Será diferente vivir solo en una casa grande.
On Saturday, the family had a “Celebrations of Life” for my wife. It was more emotional than I thought, given the six months since her passing. Some of the family had not seen each other for 20 years. I paid for plane tickets for my stepson and his wife so they could come. He had been estranged from his mother and the rest of the family for most of the 20 years. My wife and stepson reconnected last year and had a lot of communication in 2022. I was so grateful that they reconnected and had the time to communicate, even though it was not in person. I think my daughter and her brother also made peace, and my daughter seems so happy having reconnected with her big brother.
El sábado, la familia organizó una "Celebración de la vida" de mi esposa. Fue más emotivo de lo que pensaba, teniendo en cuenta los seis meses transcurridos desde su fallecimiento. Algunos miembros de la familia llevaban 20 años sin verse. Pagué los billetes de avión de mi hijastro y su mujer para que pudieran venir. Él había estado alejado de su madre y del resto de la familia durante la mayor parte de esos 20 años. Mi esposa y mi hijastro se reconectaron el año pasado y tuvieron mucha comunicación en 2022. Me sentí muy agradecido de que se reconectaran y tuvieran tiempo para comunicarse, aunque no fuera en persona. Creo que mi hija y su hermano también hicieron las paces, y mi hija parece tan feliz de haberse reconectado con su hermano mayor.
I have the opportunity this upcoming week to get five days of respite care. I will be going away for those five days. The only cost is the transportation to the facility she will stay at. Her family will pay for that. I will not be paid during the five days and will pay someone to stay with the other person. I am packing some extra books to read while out of town. I will take one of my laptops so I can work with comments. This should be published before the weekend.
Esta semana tengo la oportunidad de disfrutar de cinco días de descanso. Estaré fuera esos cinco días. El único coste es el transporte hasta el centro en el que estará. Lo pagará su familia. Yo no cobraré nada durante los cinco días y pagaré a alguien para que se quede con la otra persona. Llevo algunos libros para leer mientras estoy fuera de la ciudad. Me llevaré uno de mis portátiles para poder trabajar con los comentarios. Esto debería publicarse antes del fin de semana.
My cover photograph is a macro view of one of my peonies. As you can see, it is white with a heavy pink blush. It is a double peony, which adds to its beauty. The fragrance is lovely.
Mi foto de portada es una vista macro de una de mis peonías. Como puede ver, es blanca con un fuerte rubor rosado. Es una peonía doble, lo que aumenta su belleza. Su fragancia es encantadora.
The following photograph is a different view of possibly the same bloom as the cover photograph.
La siguiente fotografía es una vista diferente de posiblemente la misma floración que la fotografía de portada.
The following two photographs are of another Peony, a beautiful red one. It is also a double. I think I have four or five varieties of peonies. I planted another peonies 19 years ago, and it has not bloomed. I am unsure of its type, but I plan to transplant it this fall so it is in the same flower garden as my others. It may take a year to establish itself, and then we will see what color it is the following year.
Las dos fotografías siguientes son de otra peonía, una hermosa peonía roja. También es doble. Creo que tengo cuatro o cinco variedades de peonías. Planté otra peonía hace 19 años y no ha florecido. No estoy seguro de su tipo, pero pienso trasplantarla este otoño para que esté en el mismo jardín de flores que las demás. Puede que tarde un año en establecerse, y entonces veremos de qué color es al año siguiente.
The last two photographs for this publication are of my purple Iris. I believe it is called a Bearded Iris. They are always a welcome sight in mid to late spring.
Las dos últimas fotografías para esta publicación son de mi Iris púrpura. Creo que se llama iris barbudo. Siempre son bienvenidos a mediados y finales de la primavera.
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.

All the best and congratulations to you. You have shared with us very beautiful beautiful flower photography from which I learned a lot. Thank you very much. All the best to you. Stay well.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed photos
Good day!
I truly love your photos and I'm glad that granddaughter has taken interest. Im also happy for you that your stepson was able to reconnect with you guys.
I hope all is well with you. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you. Yes it was good to see the family all back together.
May your lovely wife Keep resting. Having your wife reconnect with your stepson before her departure is a lovely one and for your daughter to make peace is a great one too.
Family love cannot be compared with anyother. I wish your family more happy moments.
Your flowers are lovely too. Do take care of yourself.
Thank you for your kind words
@r2cornell...
It's good to see things are slowly moving in a positive direction. The flower photographs were simply beautiful and certainly matched the energy of your post... I am glad your family was able to attend your wife's Celebration of Life... those are indeed emotional moments. But again... it's good to know everyone was able to come. I am sure your wife was looking down and smiling...
I gave you a follow... though I swore we had been following each other for many years. Ghost in the Machine, as it were... Anyway... thank you for updating us on your situation. I hope you are having a good day today... remember to breathe... and drink coffee!
Love and light, brother...

I am glad that they reconnected before she left if not it would have pain in more.
May her soul keep resting in peace
Nice flowers down there I hope they are smelling nice as well
Thank you. Yes we never know our exit point from this world. It is good to keep that in mind
Absolutely right sir
Good day sir. We all should stay with family. We can leave this beautiful world anytime. Sir, I like to see your pictures. I look forward to seeing your photos.
Thank you. I am glad you like my photographs
I like you brother a lot. And thank you very much for allowing us to see such photos.
I am big fan of your flower's selection. All these flower's looks so beautiful and amazing. I really like to see always natural beauty.
Thank you. I am glad you enjoy my flower photographs
Most welcome.
This flowers shared are so nice and beautiful with lovely colours to appreciate.
Thank you.
Your granddaughter seems to have more patience than you ☺️ and by the way the flowers are really looking so beautiful I must confess
Yes she does. I did once but since the passing of my wife I feel the need to take care of myself. After all the years of caring for others when my wife died I decided to move forward taking care of myself.
I never knew this before that you have stepson too who reconnected last year with his mother luckily. Good reading the whole piece of article written by you.
The closer shots of these beautiful flowers are the best ones.
Thank you. I probably never mentioned my step son in these years on these blogging platforms. I did not expect he would reconnect. My wife spotted the chance on Facebook. She talked to me and asked if se should reach out. I encouraged her because I knew how much she loved him, and missed him all these years. I told her it may be her only chance. I figured if he rejected it, I would be there to hold her up. But thankfully when she messaged him he responded and over a few months they maintained communications and had many messages , texts and phone calls.
This is GREAT. You are the greatest hubby that every woman would dream for it.
Seriously, you are such a caring man, I have followed you so closely and can a test to that. I hope you find yourself good rest too.
What a good capture, the flowers are beautiful, thanks for sharing
Thank you.
Wonderful collection of flowers.
Thank you
oh.. the celebration for the live of your wife bring tears to my eyes. I'm so glad that all the family get together. The roses are a reminder of the Beauty in life and after.
Thank you very much. My wife was a strong woman and I am sure she was watching over all of us as much healing took place. She would be very happy.
Family is the most valuable thing we have, it's good that you were all together, this is the main thing. The flowers are gorgeous, especially the first peony
Thank you very much
I always appreciate all this because collections and thanks for sharing every part of it.
Thank you
Siempre me encanta leer sus Post. De hecho leyéndolo fué que finalmente entendí lo que es un post. su historia de esta semana es conmovedora, reunidos desde tantos años y ¡5 días para descansar! con respecto a sus increíbles flores, en mi país Venezuela, un país tropical, la primera flor es idéntica a una qué llamamos aquí Cayena doble, muy difícil de conseguir. Se que no son pionías porque éstas carecen de olor, pero los colores y formas son muy similares del mismo modo, su increíble iris es muy parecido a nuestra flor nacional la orquídea.
Muchas gracias. Nunca lo había pensado, pero el Iris tiene características similares a las flores de Orquídea. Tengo varias. Una empezó a florecer justo antes del fallecimiento de mi esposa y siguió floreciendo durante más de 6 meses. La última flor se cayó pocos días antes de nuestra celebración. Fue un regalo que me hizo por San Valentín hace aproximadamente 5 años. No me atreví a utilizar una foto en una publicación. Tal vez durante su próxima floración.
#hive #posh
Thank you
omg yo creía que esas eran rosas y orquídeas ¡qué oso! 🤗 la historia de su familia es muy bonita, especialmente la unión entre usted y su esposa siempre me hace reflexionar sobre mi propio matrimonio e hijos
Muchas gracias. Aprecio sus palabras.
Dear Robert, my best wishes for you in the next step as retired. I hope you find a lot of happiness and support with your family. Keep in mind to create new experiences to enjoy, these new experiences are in the little things, for example visiting new places in the city, taking pictures of a different and beautiful plant, etc.
Cheers!
Thank you. Yes I am looking forward to more photgraphy.
very beautiful flower photos, I'm sure the beauty of these flowers symbolizes the beauty of your affection for your family
Thank you
Such a lovely and beautiful selection of these colourful flowers.
The family reconnecting together is a good thing and it can be very emotional at a time like this. You have handled things quite well for yourself and taking the time to spend alone is okay, I believe you have great plans for the free days you mentioned.
The flowers are beautiful and they look more beautiful when captured with a pure heart. Thanks for sharing these beauties with us on Hive.
Thank you for your past support!
