WELCOME THE MONTH OF AUGUST

"The brilliant poppy flaunts her head amidst the ripening grain and adds her voice to sell the song that August's here again."
           ~Helen Winslow~

"Fairest of the months! Ripe summers queen the hey-day of the year with robes that gleam with sunny sheen.  Sweet August doth appear."
            ~R Combe Miller~

"How sociable the garden was..  We ate and talked in given light.  The children put their toys to grass all the war wakeful August night."
          ~Thomas Gunn~

Hi, Maddy...
My mama used to tell me that time would fly by faster the older I got....and, boy, was she right.
Last summer when Bill was sick and then passed away in July, the whole summer was gone before I knew it...now, this summer, I have been ill most of it and not enjoyed summertime all that much.It's just been a hard time since he passed. It can be a good day, and then, in the blink of an eye, it turns bad. I know we never get over losing our loves...and it is easier now but guess I'll always be sad. I am sure thankful for my family.....
Hope you are doing ok...
Oh, and I was going to ask if you let wild grass grow along with the wild flowers in your garden ?

The older I get the years just seem to fly by. We never do get over losing out loves it does get easier but I still break down and cry every once in a while when a memory of something we used to do comes in my mind. I do have grass in my garden but I try to keep most of it pulled up. I am doing ok still walking.

Thanks so much for coming by...I am always glad to see that you've been by and left a sweet comment.
I am glad to know you are still walking...I take it by spells...I am such a sissy..the weather has to be just right. I walked almost every day when we lived at our other house...we had a great park about 4 block from us and Mr. Sweet and I both enjoyed our walk so much. There is a park with a walking track near our house, but it's not as pretty..no pond...just pretty plain. I need to get out and do it, tho....you inspire me. xoxo
