My Day

I guess the time has come when I will eventually have to tell people.  I am not ready for that but people need to know.  I ran into my beautiful aunt today and she asked how I was and I started crying and had to tell her.  She gave me the tightest most wonderful hug, transferring part of her strong faith to me.  She also gave me a handkerchief which I will keep with me to remind me the love of my family and how they with hold me and my mom up in prayer and in love.  I am blessed.  Abundantly so.


I had a dream last night that my mom had died.    I woke up crying.  I took an Ativan and went back to sleep.  I slept until noon.  After I woke up my finance and I went to feed the ducks in "our" new backyard.  (It doesn't belong to us exclusively, it belongs to the city but I am going to call it "mine" or "ours")  There were not many ducks.  I guess they are sitting on their nests waiting to bring new life into the world.  Click to "imbiggen" the pictures!

 My bumpy tree. This tree really is mine now simply because I love it.  I gave it a pat today when I walked by.  I think I will actually give it a name and hug it every time I walk by.  I am from the Pacific Northwest and tree hugging is a normal thing to do. I see a rabbit in this tree.  Do you?  Any ideas for names? Maybe "Bunnie".

 My favourite tree is the Weeping Willow.  I can't get to this tree to hug it but I will love it just the same.  It needs a name too.  I think I will call her Willow.

 A duck resting in the sun. He might have a wife but he is mine too! 

 We sat for a long time in our new backyard.  It was rejuvenating.  I am so grateful for the ducks, trees, flowers and waterfalls.
