This spring has been disappointing to say the least. We get the odd day of sunshine then the rain and cold weather return.
Yesterday we had glorious sunshine.
Today more rain.
Everything is green and pretty but it is still quite cool. There are few acacia blossoms to be seen. I hope the bees have something to feed on.
My ankle is progressing well. The final stitches come out next week and my hospital visits will be over until a final check in 6 weeks.
I don’t have to wear the boot and I can walk slowly and carefully with the aid of a walking stick. My ankle is unsurprisingly stiff and a bit uncomfortable but it is not painful. It gets better every day.
I should be able to drive soon and I look forward to being able to travel a bit. Most of Italy is a yellow zone now and soon restaurants will be open for indoor dining. We can eat outside but this crummy weather is making it difficult for restaurants to operate successfully.
I hope we get some sunny, warm weather soon!
always a lovely scenery.. regardless of the weather.

My ankle gets better each day, but I still can’t walk far. Today I planted the flowers on the bridge and then had to lie down for a while.

It’s been unseasonably wet here in Jakarta as well. Usually rainy season ends in March. Yet, we’re halfway through May and it can rain heavily from time to time here. My houseplants are not doing that well this year. Wishing you a speedy recovery, Debra!

Only the bolt through my ankle was removed. The pin and screws in the fibula will stay there.

Hi Deb lovely photos even if sun only out for short time
Everything in sunshine looks better. Great to see you are improving & it does seem a short time (but I suppose not to you.). Your garden will be happy to see you again.
