A Touch Of Spring by digitalrn

A Touch Of Spring

I'm still limited in my ability to take photos, but I was able to get a bug's eye view of the ever so rapidly growing grass in our back yard, and some fine little blue / purple flowers that are pushing their way up through the grass. It looks like my Wife may need to mow the grass before week's end. She's been good to me, offering me assistance with the buttoning of my shirts, pants, and all the other stuff you cannot manage with one hand. It gives you a new sense of appreciation for those who must make permanent adjustments for things like this due to serious injuries or other disability. Oh the joys of getting older. I really dislike depending on others to meet my needs, but I am having a little fun teasing my Wife as she does these little things for me. I am milking it all the way, asking her to drive, help me with my coat, cutting my food, but really, I know she doesn't mind. I would do the same for her. It's great knowing you've found a perfect match as your soulmate. Hope you all have a great Saturday night.
lovely! such a beautiful sign of spring

Very pretty. The blue against the green is wonderful. And so, apparently, is your wife!
March 27th, 2011  
Very pretty photo Rick. Love that little contrast of the flower among the greenery. I hope your wife has lots of patience cause I think she is going to need it. It has to be frustrating for you and the healing is going to take a while. God bless both of you.

Beautiful flower and relationship. That is what marriage is all about.
March 27th, 2011

March 27th, 2011

Nice shot Rick. It's a blessing to me to do things for my husband and I think it's the same for your wife. Get healed soon!
March 27th, 2011  
Glad to hear your recovery's going okay and I'm sure your wife doesn't mind helping. I admire your dedication to 365 even during your recovery!
March 27th, 2011  
Ohh, you are so lucky, I still have snowy patches in my yard. I did see buds on the Forsithia bushes today though.
March 27th, 2011  
Gorgeous shot Rick. Sounds like everything is going well. Isn't it a joy to have people that love us

This is so pretty and such a perfect spring picture. Even handicapped you are a pro. My world is so gray and dismal, that this is such a welcome sight.
March 27th, 2011  
Lovely shot, sweet notes!
March 27th, 2011  
A bit of spring - lovely. Waiting patiently here - still lots of snow - we won't be mowing the grass for another two months.
In sickness and in health. What a blessing to have such a mate for life.
March 27th, 2011  
love the color in this -- the greens are so rich!

what a beautiful welcome sight!
March 27th, 2011  
Pretty!! Love the colors and the dew.
You are so lucky you have someone to help you while you recover. Glad you are doing well.
March 27th, 2011  
It's so nice to be loved and cared for, isn't it. I know how you feel though - it's frustrating not to be able to do things yourself. It does make you think about those that will never be able to manage on their own. This is one gorgous shot!
March 27th, 2011  
Pretty
March 27th, 2011  
Love the little bit of blue in the sea of green. Very nice.
March 27th, 2011  
Green is good...in many ways! Love to hear people talk about their loved ones like you do Rick. Warms the heart.
March 27th, 2011

That is very nce when you say
"soulmate" it is so good to hear that from friends. Your photo is very delicate and the Details are great and the little flower just added the perfect touch! Happy Sunday and be nice to your wife, hahahahahah
March 27th, 2011  
Sounds as though you are being looked after! Cool spring shot too.
March 27th, 2011  
It looks very lush, nice composition too. Really nice job on the colouring, and all round. Great one, Rick.
March 27th, 2011  
Forgot to add, I'm making this a fav.
March 27th, 2011  
Sounds like you have a good wife there, Rick! I really hate people looking after me too but sometimes, you have to. When I sprained my ankle I was in agony--not from the pain so much, but from having to ask for help all the time.
And you're a trooper for taking a photo one-handed too. Take your time to heal.
March 28th, 2011  
and once again, got caught up in your words! The photo is really pretty--makes me think of a cool Spring day
March 28th, 2011  
Great shot! I love the color tones.
March 28th, 2011  
It's great and fortunate that you have each other.
Beautiful picture...like the green and touch spring!
