My daughter’s neighbor, Carol, has a really pretty clematis vine that I wish I could grow. She explained her pruning technique to me last week, but I have had no luck with this type of clematis to date. They all die after I prune.PortlandClematis

Interesting flower just blooming in one of our planter boxes. When I bought the seeds I didn’t notice how tall it would get when mature. Seems like it is at least three feet high right now.Flower in planter box

About Me

Currently 74 years old, cancer survivor  living in Seattle, WA. Enjoy both photography and music.

Update: 6 Sept 2023: Cancer has returned. Probably will start directed radiation treatment at the end of October.

Update: 24 Sept 2024: After two 15 round sessions of SBRT I am now undergoing chemotherapy. After chemo, A PET scan will assess where I am. After the scan I will be minimally doing a year of immunotherapy -beginning November, 2024. Update: 8 March 2025-Finished 3rd immunotherapy ( Imfinzi- a checkpoint inhibitor) and fourth is on 11 March 2015. Another PET SCAN scheduled for 18 March 2025.

Update Sept. 2025: Scans from a couple of weeks ago look positive. However, Oncologist has changed the original plan from one year of immunotherapy to continuing “indefinitely”, as he feels, due to my history with cancer, that if stopped it would come back.

 

Selfie: 2016 at the Cliffs of Moher and from March of 2025. Nearly ten years apart.
