Morning
How kind and thoughtful of you to think of me💖 I had to check the atlas to see where Wincosin is,🤔😊
It’s so terribly far from me here in Ireland 🇮🇪
Yes
Autumn approaching,I’m just going to plant my daffodils with tulips 💐mixed through for a blast of colour when January comes around.all new for me,but gotta keep going and gives me a real purpose.Michael’s rhubarb is in abundance, so I’ve made lots of crumbles and tarts (with apples)
And are in the freezer now to have at hand if guests arrive unexpectedly ! Everything is different now.😔
Yes I’ve been to Spain to visit my daughter and granddaughters and they have been here,filling the house with laughter ,missing Grandad too, also making their own floral wreath too🌸ages 7and 8💗all of us in the greenhouse together
I had been talking about the headstone for Michael and wanted to involve them “will there be a photo of Grandad on the headstone “asked Lauren “I don’t know” was my reply “nobody will know it is Grandad if there is no photo, “she says how right she is .! So it will be her job with me , will be to choose the photo.🥰( out of the mouths of babes ,for sure) . it is now 9 months ,a fast year indeed, his first sign of esophagael cancer was 23rd September2021 .he fought so hard till the end I will relive the days until 3rd December. He had a tough 35years in the wheelchair ,dealing with his spinal cord injury too😢
Still doing my 5k walk daily with effort but it is always worth it
Being in the fresh air does wonders for the depression,keeping that and anxiety at bay.
Much love ,keep well

@loribmt, @hearttoheart1, and all.....
Lori, what a beautiful apple tree. I had a small Grove of cooking apple trees in NC when I was a small girl. Such fond memories of those trees and days.

My son has a cocktail tree on his patio, in the ground. It's about 15' tall, full of bright green leaves, bowing now with growing weight from the fullness of a huge crop of lemon/limes. We normally have lemons and occasional limes. The fruit is large, like a grapefruit, and delicious. I'll get over there later and send a few pics.

We've had heavy rain storms with lightening every afternoon the past week. Our days are now in the 80s, nights in 70s.

I'm attaching aching a couple of my little rescue plant pictures so you can see how they're surviving. I'm still enjoying them immensely.

Please see if you can identify the huge bulbous plant with unusual growth. I thought money tree but not now. Ideas anyone?

I'll send pics of the wall planters with succulents. They're doing well. And, the white shell planter with orchids and succulents is doing well. I'm getting some hens and chick's to add to fill it.

Also, an African Violet decided to show off. I must include it.

I'm resting today after a week of ptsd nightmares and life. Still helping my son organize for his life now. That's fun, but he's a trip. Tough guy to work with at times since I get tired easily. But, we're getting good things done.

Florida is nice this time of year if you ĺike rain...and a hurricane or two.
Blessings to all. Elizabeth
