"Lord it is time.
The summer was very big.
Lay thy shadow on the sundials,
and on the meadows let the winds go loose.
Command the last fruits that they shall be full;
give them another two more southerly days,
press them on to fulfillment
and drive the last sweetness into the heavenly wine."
~ Rainer Maria Rilke

Thanks for your continued comfort these past weeks, Gail. Your warm hugs are most welcome. Nancy's death was such a shock. After my last post, I took a shower and, jumping out, learned of the stunning news. Since then, it's been ...
How sweet, dear Rose. I've missed you too ... these past few weeks, surreal. After 2 yrs on and off with us during her horrific illnesses and loosing her vision, Nancy was so enjoying her freedom back in her own home ...
xxxooo back, dear Tyra. I've missed our visits also. These past few weeks have been hectic with still much to do. I so appreciate your kind thoughts :)
Thanks Karen ... I must admit, there has been little time spent with my cameras of late ... and I've missed that also :( Thanks for poppin' in and saying hello :)
How kind, dear Frances. Just returned from a tour of your Fairegarden ... a pure delight, just what I needed :)
Was not aware of the Wayne County Gardening Conference, Monica. It would have been fun to meet :) Unfortunately, I will out of town (at the lake) handling issues regarding my sister's estate and getting her house ready to sell. We've been running back & forth, wrapping our arms around both places.
Thanks Robin ... we're hangin' in there, thanks to dear family and wonderful friends. Though tweak and weed when time allows, my garden misses me as much as I miss it :(
Thanks Anonymous ... my dear 'bestest' friend :)
He who now has no house, shall never have a house.
He who now is alone, will remain so for a long time,
Will wake, read, write long letters,
And will wander in the streets here and there,
Restlessly while the leaves scatter.
I wish you long, fond memories of Nancy and all the best as you move forward through time.
A glass of wine and an autumn sunset is pure poetry of the very best kind.

Fantastic.
I've missed and worried about you. When you hadn't posted for so long I knew something was wrong.
God bless your lovely Nancy and I know he blessed you with her beautiful life for as long as she was with you. Take comfort in your wonderful memories and her spirit will live on.
Love,
Ann
