It has been awhile . . . And I'm a bit rusty. I hope you'll enjoy them nonetheless.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

This is Russell! He's a skilled guitarist and singer, and he's great!

[MIButterfly]

1. These are wonderful pictures!

It's so good to have you back, CaliforniaPeggy! I hope you're feeling better and stronger every single day.

I wish you all the happiness you've given me with your excellent photos.

Much love,
MIButterfly

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Thank you for your very kind words, my dear MIButterfly!

My progress isn't rapid at all. It IS happening! So glad my photos please you.

[jls4561]

2. I am so pleased that you are posting pictures of the farmers market. Not just because I get to see the fabulous

photos, but because it means you are up and about and able to do something you enjoy.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Thanks so much, my dear jls4561!

I guess you could say I'm up and about while riding in a wheelchair with my escort pushing me! I'm fairly feeble still but my spirit is intact!

[Deuxcents]

3. Wonderful 🤗 The farmers market is open and the treats and beautiful flowers are a welcomed sight

So happy your recovery is going so well that you’re strolling the farmers market and back to teasing us with your photos. I’m delighted 😀

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Thanks so much, my dear Deuxcents! I was glad to see them as well.

I'm not exactly strolling; I was riding in a wheelchair and snapping pics from there! Eventually I will be walking.

[George McGovern]

4. You have not lost a step Young Lady! Great pics! Thank You!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

35. Ah, thank you so much, my dear George! I am transitioning to a more vigorous lifestyle.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. Ah, my dear Diamond_Dog! Thank you so much.

It was strange, being away from all of you.

[SheltieLover]

7. Yay! So happy you are back, Peggy!

Beautiful pix! Ty for sharing!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

38. Thank you, my dear SheltieLover! I love to share the beauty in my life.

[Easterncedar]

10. Mmmmm, I can taste those cinnamon rolls!

Dear Peggy, seeing your pictures has made me Very Very happy! Thank you! You have been missed more than you could imagine.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

42. If I can make you happy with a few photos, then I'll do it! Thank you for your effusive praise. You lift me up.

[True Dough]

74. The photos are stellar, as always, Peggy

But taste-testing those cinnamon rolls would be even more delightful!!!



All the best!

[niyad]

12. Absolutely gorgeous, Ms Peggy. But the VERY BEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL PART is the fact

that you are recovering enough to be out like this. Hugggggggs, and continuing vibes for swift (yes, I know, glacial!!!) and complete recovery and healing.

Note to self: La Baguette tomorrow morning!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

43. Ah, my dear niyad! Your extravagant words help me heal from this experience.

Going out today, even though with human help plus riding in a wheelchair, has made me realize that so much of my healing is simply up to me.

I was quite tired when I got home and needed a nap after lunch; I got that nap and now I'm much stronger. We think things will happen to us; today I realized that things happen when we make them happen. It's a good lesson for me.

[niyad]

80. hugggs. You are getting stronger every day. Your body suffered a HUGE

injury/insult, so please be patient with yourself. We are all here for you and your family, so just remember to pull whatever you all need.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

13. I'm a bit tired from my AM adventures! Time for a nap and I will return, later, to talk to all of you. ...n/t

[niyad]

15. REST!!!! HUGGGGGGS

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Ahhh! You still have that magic touch w/ your photos!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

45. Perhaps you're right, and thank you for your generous remarks, my dear SWBTATTReg!

A lot of these were taken when I was too close and so were a bit blurry! I liked them anyway.

I will do better as the weeks go on.

[SWBTATTReg]

47. You are way, way too hard on yourself, your skills speak very well for themselves. Thank you for giving us

a few enjoyable moments for us to view and enjoy your pictures. It pushes back the bad stuff that the likes of tRUMP and other thugs push in on us w/ constantly.

[2naSalit]

16. You did just fine!

Of course, I like the flowers most. Hope your outing was refreshing and pleasant!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

46. Thanks so much, my dear 2naSalit! The flowers really turned out. I enjoyed the ride quite a lot! ...n/t

[2naSalit]

49. Were you...

Scootering? I can imagine you're not quite ready for long strolls yet. All the same, glad you can get out and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. All necessary for healing.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. I'd bought a wheelchair and we were using that. It was a great help!

You know I'm not ready for long strolls yet! But that time is coming.

[2naSalit]

54. Won't be long...

You'll be back to your old routines.

[hlthe2b]

17. Luscious, Gorgeous, Intriguing and Friendly! Love the shots... But, how are YOU?

Seems like you are making good progress on getting back to our own CaliforniaPeggy!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. Those are amazing adjectives for my photos and thank you, my dear hlthe2b!

How am I? Good question!

Deep inside, I recognize myself. But there are parts that aren't working as they should and it troubles me a bit. I just keep working on my well-being and hope that I'll get there! (I'm pretty sure I will!)

[eppur_se_muova]

18. Have you developed a sweet tooth in recovery ? :D

There's an awful lot of glaze in those first few pix.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. Nope, no sweet tooth for me! They were just setting up the display and this was all they had.

Thanks for your provocative question, my dear eppur_se_muova!

[JMCKUSICK]

19. Yay! Yippee! Hurray!

My favorite form of torture is back!

Pictures of good that contain carbs lol.

It must feel so good to be getting back in the saddle, so to speak.

So glad you got out and about! Best news in ages!

[TexLaProgressive]

59. Yea! Glad you're out and about

Loved alll the pictures but those cinnamon rolls are tempting to this diabetic.

Ask Russell what make and model of his guitar. My son has been texting me just now about guitars. I have an acoustic electric Godin 5th Avenue that he likes the look of.

So good to see you back!

[BobTheSubgenius]

95. A lovely set of pictures!!!

Except for the buns - you can go straight to hell for posting pictures of buns like that that I can't have.

I THINK I can imagine a life that revolves around all these....or the thread that winds its want through them all. Thank you!!!

[70sEraVet]

96. I guess those are tomatoes next to the zuchini?

Some kind of striped variety? I used to grow a few Cherokee Purple tomatoes in my backyard. They were the hit of the neighborhood!
Thanks for the pics, and its GREAT that your up and out!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

100. Yes, those are some sort of striped tomato. I bought some and we'll see how they taste! ...n/t

[byronius]

[Gato Moteado]
