snowdrops in connecticut

 i spent monday at the dermatologist with my mom. she needed to have a "mohs" operation to remove some cancerous cells from her cheek. it turned out to be very stressful for her as it took four tries to get everything. she was a real trooper and the doctor commented on her fortitude. she has a big bandage now and doesn't want to go down to the dining hall at her apartment complex because she doesn't like the way it looks. however, i did encourage her to do so tuesday afternoon for lunch and she agreed when the nurse's aides there said that her table mates would like to see her.

the snowdrops are plentiful!

spring is here . . toby the cat is staying outside more and more . .

  1. I taught the German names of several flowers to my students today, including "Schneeglöckchen."

    Glad to hear your mother came out of this okay. How long does she have to wear the bandage?

    1. She wears it for a week and then the stitches come out this coming Monday.

      Schneeglöckchen is very pretty :)

    2. So no complications? Do they know if they got everything? Could the cancer come back?

      We have this finger play where the Schneeglöckchen rings in spring. We have to do it next week.

    4. We also do not do so many anymore, but when we do them, all children still join in :))).

      Oh good, your mom must be relieved.
