I found myself wandering around my yard today, taking photos of all my
(what I call)
"Little People"
I lost a friend this week to Cancer... that horrible disease that takes so many people before they are able to get old...
Being outside, close to Nature gave me a bit of peace. It's not easy hearing about a friend loosing her battle with cancer. She fought so hard to recover from two brain surgeries in two years. I think the surgeries were more painful than the cancer. Makes me think hard about what I might do, or not do, if I were ever to have cancer diagnosed? The so called cure is worse sometimes than the cancer.
This little lady greets all who enter my driveway.
This bunny was the first ornament I put in my yard when I first moved in. Found it at a garage sale for all of .25 cents.
Many of my plants are blooming and the colors are uplifting somehow.
My fountain, a gift from my Niece, I've kept in the house not wanting the weather and rain water with it's minerals to clog it.
Purple Shamrock blooming.
This little guy is romping through the Wandering Jew and the Green Shamrocks.
Can you see the Lizard on the right wing of this little guy?
My little Angel sitting with a bird in hand and a Hibiscus at her feet.
The warm sun felt wonderful today.. I needed it to help me come out of the fog I've been in since my friend Dana died... Much too soon.
I know my sister is feeling sad today. Wish I could be with her to offer a bit of comfort. She and Dana went to High School together and remained friends for over 40 years.
My special Angel. She sits on my back deck just outside the kitchen window.
The little fat piggie... is so heavy!
Little birds scratching in the pot full of Chives.
I lost a friend this week.. Cancer is ugly and no one should suffer like that.
This one is for you "Dana"

ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that you lost a friend to cancer. I lost my dear friend who was also named Dana to cancer almost 6 years ago. I still miss her but time in the garden enjoying God's creation helps with the healing and brings me peace. Your garden friends are wonderful, thanks for introducing us to them.
ReplyDeleteIt is always sad when we lose a friend or loved one to this dreadful disease, I hope that you found peace and solace in your garden.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely place and you have some adorable "little people" living in it.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful yard. I love the little bunny in the wandering jew.
