Hello; I hope 2019 is bringing a bright a fresh new beginning for everyone. We had a lovely week week last week with warm and delightful days but this week began with a cold, foggy drizzle and while it is a little depressing I've a little taste of  spring last week so I am holding on to that.

I haven't posted in a while and the reason is that while we had a close and sweet family Christmas; we also had some sorrows. Our beloved little Rocky left us the night before Christmas Eve. There was no warning, he just seemed to have a stoke in my lap and a sad little goodbye. Needless to say we were all heart broken. Our sweet little four pound baby filled our hearts with love in abundance and we miss him more than I can say.

The day after Christmas my sister in law passed away. We were all shocked and heart broken. She had remarried to a wonderful man and we were very happy for them both; they had many years together but she was still part of my family  much like my own sister and we will miss her and it is heart breaking to let her go.
                                                                           

Less than two weeks after Christmas, my Daughter and Grand daughter's baby Jasper left us. He was only three and a half years old and in perfect health or so we thought. He was running and jumped to catch a piece of paper carried by the wind and feel dead. It seems he had a genetic heart problem that had not been detected. My dear daughter and grand daughters were devastated, just as we were losing Rocky.


And so we move on, sadly but thankful for the time, love and sweet memories that we have and we look to spring with the light of hope and new beginnings.

Blessed Be

  2. Wow....I am so terribly sorry to read of all your tragic losses. I have been gone from Blogland a good long while and am slowly trying to find my way back as I have missed my life here....I wrote a week or so about some losses of fur babies, but yours are so much the worse. Sending prayers and hope for healing and comfort....and a better 2019 for you.... Robin

  3. I am so sorry to hear of your loved ones passing away. Rocky is cute, and dogs are such loyal companions. Thank you for letting me know about the burls of the tree. It was interesting to hear the traditions of the Native Americans too. They always seemed to use and appreciate everything from the earth. I hope the old Elm tree near your house stays like it is so you can enjoy it. I really love the trees, and especially if they are unusual looking and very old. We have some of the oldest trees in our area.

    Wishing you wonderful March days.

  4. I am so sorry to read of your recent losses. You really have had some very tough times. I wanted to tell you that I appreciate your words on my post today. I could not locate an email for you. It is comforting to know that someone is thinking of you, friend or stranger if even just for a moment. We are all in this together. If only the world believed that every minute.
