Awhile back I told you about one of my elderly neighbors. She had complications from surgery in December. And now has pneumonia. She and her husband are both around 90 y/o. She doesn't like to talk about her age.
She seemed better. Using a walker and getting around a little easier than a few weeks ago. Her husband sat quietly and did not know who I was.
I stood at her front door and talked to her through her screen door. She was glad to see me and said she was doing ok as far as groceries. Her daughter is staying with her for now.
She has someone to take care of her landscaping as well. It would be a huge job for anyone. I snapped this Iris photo, just beautiful colors in her garden.
Glad to know she is at home and improving.
Walked over to check on my neighbor. This is the elderly neighbor that the ambulance took to the hospital back in December. Both she and her husband are both...

That was very nice of you to check on your elderly neighbors, and to hear that she is recovering from pneumonia. I have been keeping an eye on several of my elderly neighbors, to make sure they are oaky, but so far it seems like everyone here in my neighborhood is doing fine and coping well with the crisis.

@CarolDM I think it's absolutely wonderful that people all over the country, all over the world, are coming together in this time of crisis to help each out and look out for each other. I had seen examples of this at the local level during past hurricane catastrophes, but what we're seeing now is taking place on a global scale. It is so wonderful to see.

I love when neighbors watch out for each other. You are an angel. Our neighbor across the street looks out for us. Great pic. I'm glad to know that your neighbor is getting better.
