Saturday’s Here

Have a wonderful weekend!

That last rose of summer

Dan picks me a rose regularly. Looks like this is it for the SC roses. No frost yet, but, our roses are no longer budding. Soon, we pack up the car and head home. Funny, every place we have is home. I’ve been gone from WI for nearly 20 years. While I have friends and family there, it no longer seems like home to me. Things change in your life and you find a new norm for living. I have so many friends in Florida. When we get back, I will hit the ground running. We have a group coming for Thanksgiving, lunches set up, and Christmas to get ready for.... where does the time go?

Wildlife

Our hawk came a calling. We are seeing more and more birds at our feeder.

Time doesn’t stand still

Believe it or not, it was ten years ago today that my husband died. Ten years....hard to imagine. And, while my life has moved on, his memory is never far away. I no longer experience a heart stopping pain when I think of him, but the hurt is still there. People react differently to losses such as this. I worked very hard to not be the bereft widow looking for sympathy. My mother In Law had that job sewn up. Boy, did she. I got involved in the community and got out of the house. I tried to meet people outside of our circle of friends. But, I had no intention of getting into another relationship. So much for that plan. My life is good. Today, I will spend some time remembering my sweet husband.
