I had a brief visit with my Mom on Saturday. She was very sleepy, so I didn’t stay long. With her dementia and moods, I find it best to not linger and become an irritant if she’s sleepy or grouchy. In those instances, I cut my visits short and come back on another day.

Mom was sitting outside, with one leg up, when I arrived.

I snapped this photo while standing in the doorway. Mom is the only resident enjoying the fresh air.

In the background, you can see several bird feeders hanging from a tree.

I zoomed in for this photo when a bird landed on one of the bird feeders.

Using my telephoto lens, I captured a shot of the bird’s colors.

Mom was not excited by the sudden activity at the bird feeder.

My final photo of Mom during this visit. She loves being surrounded by pillows and cushions.
Mom’s mood was pleasant enough on this day, but she couldn’t stay awake. I blame that on the company she keeps.
