Detour

Mom's second cataract surgery was yesterday (she's forgotten all about the first one), and today was the follow-up appointment with Dr. Parks. Mom is doing well and will be blessed with greatly improved vision for many days to come... whether she knows it or not. Now we have four weeks of eye drops ahead and a few more runs to Dr. Lerner's office. Oh, and very likely a new pair of glasses once the healing process is done. After that I am going to set up some bird feeders outside her window. Once upon a time she enjoyed birdwatching. I'm hoping there will be a renewed interest.

We took a different route home from the city and crossed the Irondequiot Bay outlet bridge by Lake Ontario today. (They'll soon take it out for the summer and then we'll have to drive all the way around.) I brought a bag of oyster crackers along for Rocky to toss to the birds. She was not a bit intimidated by the large fowl and I must admit they seemed especially docile today.

The weather has been gray, overcast, and drippy, but not especially cold. It was a good day to meander our way back to home and both Rocky and I enjoyed the hills and curves of the road along the lakeshore.
