I know your heart must be very heavy right now. I wish you the very best thru this sad time. Know that you have so many friends and even tho we are far away, we are thinking of you. Marnie
Hope you are doing OK, dear Gail, and that the SF will be a nice distraction. :) LOL, I've heard of St John's wort but realize now I've never seen it. So it kind of looks like a lily pad sitting on top of milkweed, lol.
Dear Gail, I'm glad the sun is shining for you, and I hope your spirits have lifted. Glad to have you back...George's tune is the perfect way to perk you up, too.
Gail have been thinking of you....hope that you are coming to terms with the loss of your beloved sister. These times are not easy......positive thoughts and healing hugs coming your way.
I have been away so have just caught up with your blog. I am so sorry to hear about your sister. Please accept my sympathies - it must be a difficult time for you. Best wishes. Denise I like your picture too- sun lifts the spirits!
Dear Gail, it is nice to hear from you and to see your sunny photograph. Sisters are part of us, and it's impossible even to imagine what you feel now. How fortunate we are to have them in our lives. Hugs and Best Wishes, Tatyana
Little darlin'... just keeping with the theme. I'm sending you air hugs right now. Can you feel them? And every time I walk past my still-intensely fragrant and beautiful PPPPs I'm sending you another hug.
Oh, what a great sun flare shot. I've never caught a flare, though I guess I haven't gone out to consciously try. I've been behind in reading and am sad to read from the other comments that you're grieving right now. Hugs from me to you, dear gardener.
Gail, I am so sad to hear that you lost your sister. I too lost my oldest sister, prematurely when I was only 19. I am 57 now, and when I think of her these days, my thoughts are almost always happy ones: of her humor, intelligence, artistic abilities, lovely singing voice, and the wicked gleam in her big brown eyes when she was teasing her two younger sisters. We miss her to this day, but are comforted by a host of wonderful memories of times spent together. I hope you and your family will be able to get to that place in your hearts and minds soon. I found your blog when I was looking for garden blogs in Tennessee (I am in north central Texas), since I have a good friend in Old Hickory, and have seen how beautiful it is there. My friend is still dealing with the aftermath of the flooding, but was fortunate in many regards. Your blog is really lovely, with such beautiful photos. I am sure the gardening and the blogging are very healing. I am really enjoying it. So, thank you so much for sharing! Sincerely, Suzanne
Beautiful photo Gail. I'm so sorry for the loss of your sister, but so glad that you have lovely fond memories of her, that will always make you laugh, and smile.
So glad to see you back, dear Gail, and being cheered by the sunshine. {{{{U}}}}
