You've been through a lot lately. I'm so very sorry about your neighbor, and the circumstances surrounding everything just break my heart. Seeing the photo of the flag at half staff made me cry. I know they are blessed to have you and Greg as neighbors. I hope this week brings you peace and happiness. Love ya friend. xo<br /><br />ps....Those avocados...yum!

Hold tight to the ones you love, they are the most precious gift. Your neighbor Sue is going through a lot, and so have you with the loss of your Nana. So sad. <br /><br />I always marvel at those sassy hens of yours. They are so pretty, like pets. Your fruit trees are looking so plentiful and it would be so grand to just walk right out there and pick some of it. My apple trees are done now. In a way it is a relief. One day I went out and picked apples off of the ground before I could mow grass. The bees and the hornets were busy working the fruit. I managed to get all the fallen fruit into the wheel barrel, but had to wait till later that evening when they had all returned to their nests before I could dump the bad apples onto my burn pile. Miraculously I never got stung, but the next day I did, in my garage when I slipped on my sandals, a wasp was on the shoes and I didn't see it, OUCH! Now how ironic was that!<br />(((HUGS))) Susanne :) Susanne Tyreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271812578614840958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776767262067674902.post-642208784359227632013-10-25T15:22:28.860-07:002013-10-25T15:22:28.860-07:00Oh Kris I am so sorry for the loss of your dear fr...Oh Kris I am so sorry for the loss of your dear friend and neighbor.

I could almost feel the sadness and pain as I read your words. Things can change so very quickly in this life. That is why it's so important to cherish every minute and "live in the moment".

And poor Sue just getting out of the hospital to deal with all of this. My heart and prayers go out to her and their whole family. It is so hard to see the changes that this life eventually and unavoidably brings about sometimes. No, none of us is promised even our next breath and we all must be ready to stand before our God. Carl and Sue have been soo blessed to have had such good neighbors all these years, as they no doubt have blessed you right back as well. I just know you will watch over Sue now even closer than before, and will help bring about the comfort and care she will need.<br /><br />Loved the pictures of your girls running after you, haha<br /><br />Enjoy celebrating with Chris!<br /><br />HUGS!

It is so true, we do not know what the next day will bring and we should always embrace life.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading about your chickens and seeing the fruits of your trees! I don't see those here in the midwest. Autumn has arrived here with chilly nights and frosty mornings a few times. The days are sunny and crisp and fall-ish, the trees are beginning to get more color finally.
