Rose buds in January. I was astonished these  buds could survive the frost and general cold weather.

Hosta

On July 19, 2009 By Fred KingIn Buds, garden, macro, Purple1 Comment

I’m hoping my hosta will have bloomed by the time I get back home this coming Thursday. Going to Portland today to watch over our granddaughter- or maybe it is the other way around? Hopefully will have new material to post when I return to Seattle.Hosta

I think this is the only day lilly I have this year and it is a bit damaged from a hail shower we had a couple of weeks ago. My guess is that it will be orange in color.Day Lilly

About Me

Currently 73 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.
