Friday is a good time to catch up on some things so I'll post five miscellaneous images, linking to Willy Nilly Friday and some other blog hops.
Selfie tip: Try tilting your chin up and holding the camera high. Do you look younger?
Sharing with Black and White Weekend.
2. Recently my friend Sarah lost her husband of many years. Marshall was 83. I called, sent flowers... and felt inadequate under the circumstances.
It is always sad to lose someone. But recently I saw an inscription on a tombstone that seemed really sweet.
3.Meanwhile, my daughter Lynn continues to recover from surgery and radiation. Recently she was diagnosed with lymphedema, a consequence of cancer treatment. She is now on antibiotics for a related infection. She is brave and her friends help her with some heavy tasks since she is not supposed to lift anything heavy.
4. Cold weather finally reached us today. Fortunately we had warnings, so yesterday Frank and I went to the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley to walk through their gardens one more time before the leaves fell. Not only did we see some pretty autumn leaves, we saw flowers that had not yet been nipped by frost.

5. Also in the gardens were some Japanese maples that were quite brilliant in fall colors. Frank was especially drawn to this Red Weeping Japanese Maple.

ReplyDeleteThat's a fine selfie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orange foliage. We got our frost, our freeze, and then our first snow, all within two days. So it was nice seeing that rose. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
