The "progressive" look

Or maybe I should write the "mature lady" look.  :-)


I had a hair cut today and had the length whacked off, so I can grow my hair back into its usual bob. (I'd tried something different in April that did not work.) So I hope that by the end of the summer my hair will be chin length again. I didn't do anything to the pic except auto colour adjust and "clone" out the spider plant sprouting out behind my head. And while it's very rare for me to allow a face-on pic, I wanted to show the glasses. You know, the ones I'm not wearing very much, because they're so hard to adjust to.

Update on Harry: He had a "major" mini-stroke (TIA), not a full on stroke, apparently. His speech has been affected and his cognitive abilities significantly impaired. He spent a day or two thinking he was in Newfoundland, then somewhere in the U.S. I'm not sure where he thinks he is today. Poor Harry. He'll be in the hospital for 2 - 3 weeks as he's still on oxygen and is having problems with fluid in his pleural cavity. The doctor will evaluate what's to be done after that (rehab? care facility?) and Mom has stated repeatedly (I hope she's being honest with me here) that she just can't care for him at home anymore. 

So it's a waiting game right now. I appreciate all the good thoughts and prayers for them both.

I had a visit from "Mr. Murphy" this afternoon, just a silly little house thing, but I'll save that for another time. 

Here are a few more spring pics--I've gone crazy, snapping pics this week!

I do hope you get used to the glasses. They will make your life so much easier. It took me awhile, but I love them now. I made up my mind that I had to just wear them. So I did.

Just got my hair cut as well this week. The winter time hair style just had to GO! It's too hot here for that much hair. I think your hair style and glasses look great. It's a terrific photo of you. Keeping your Mom in my prayers with Harry. I hope that it works out to best it can be for both of them.

I like your hair! My husband is still having a hard time with his progressives too. Poor Harry. Continuing to send thoughts and prayers to you all. Your pictures are lovely. Can't get enough of the spring flowers.
LOVE your hair! i used to wear mine like that and I miss it. If I would ever stop twisting my hair maybe I could let mine grow back into that. Love it!
I think I believe your Mom....it would be much to hard to care for Harry right now. I feel so bad.

I don't think your hair looks too mature...now if it was a blue tint perm then it would be too mature. :)
On the bright side, Harry is getting to travel, at least in his mind. I remember my grandpa insisting that he'd spent the day work in the sawmill. I'm guessing these are long term memories coming back and mostly happy ones.
The photos are lovely! We're just seeing the trees start to bloom here. I went for a walk this morning (+2C with high winds) and the perfume from the blossoms was so nice.
I hope the glasses get easier as time goes on. Enjoy your long weekend!

The tulips and blossoms look lovely - your town is very pretty in the spring. Good on you for growing out your hair Kim and the glasses look quite smart.

Good news about Harry - we hope he continues to improve and your mum gets some help.
