Teapot and roses

Even though this teapot is missing its lid, it came home with me from the thrift shop to be part of the decor for my niece's wedding tea. I wish the lid hadn't been lost/broken because it pours without a drip! The roses are from my mini bushes and some bargain plants that finally 'went to town' this past summer. I wanted to bring them in before the BIG FREEZE and just stuck them in the teapot. (I am not a talented floral designer!)

Fall flowers for Jinny

This picture is for my sweet sister-in-law who wanted a picture of some of my fall flowers. Sorry it's not quite in focus, but these fall asters were so pretty about a month ago...now they are ready for pruners and a ride in the wheelbarrow to the compost pile. Everything is ready to be pulled due to the COLD weekend we had...17 degrees! I am NOT ready for such winter-like temps!

Memories and trying to move forward

Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise. LUKE 23:43 (NIV)

Didn't blog during the last two months while Wally was so ill. We said good-bye to him on September 7 when he went to sing with the angels. He never did get to come home from the hospital because of the complications and a deadly, drug resistant bacterial infection, pseudomonas. And my, how we miss him.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers. They helped me survive this time of grief.

Joy, when shared, will always increase.

Grief, when divided, is hushed into peace.
