Our Family: November 2007 Archives

We did a fair amount of lawn work this weekend. We used to work the full weekend with all the “fall stuff” we had to do before winter. It seems like that gets a bit later each year, and the two days that it took us to get everything done has now been condensed into one day. Anyway, we spent yesterday blowing leaves off our lawn, and the like. I uncovered these really colorful mushrooms under a pile of leaves. Then, when I got to the back of the lawn and blew leaves off the shade garden, I came across this spider who was willing to pose for me.

It’s hard for me this time of year. You know, I miss you.

Last night I found myself almost feeling your presence yet again. And the night before that when I went to bed, I secretly cried for you.

Remember how you would come by to say goodnight to me? You would come under the covers and curl up next to me so I could rub your chest. You loved that. You would purr and stay until I fell asleep. What a nice way to fall asleep. I miss that. I found myself putting my head under the covers, closing my eyes, and trying to imagine you being there. Does that mean you are with me?

Will I ever get over not having you in my life? I miss you, my friend, and it makes my heart ache.

This is the maple tree at the end of our yard. It’s pretty much the last tree to shed it’s leaves. But before it did, it decided to gave it’s best shot at some nice colors. Not bad at all.

I’m working from home today. I had to drive Kent to the oral surgeon to have an abscess removed. It all sounds so painful, but he’s actually doing pretty well and it even appears that the Vicodin will not be necessary. I was the driver since they put him out for the procedure.

Enjoy the colors while they last!
