    Oh my God, Olga, this can't be happening! I couldn't believe when I read this. I am so terribly sorry. I wish I lived closer so I could be with you and offer some comfort. Please know that you are in my prayers as you go through this tragedy.

    Oh God, Olga. I was just checking in to catch up with my blog friends, and two down on my list I find this. I am shocked. And saddened, and hurting for you. "This was not part of the Plan." those words haunt me.
    I hope you can find some comfort in our long distance consolations. Thinking of you.

    Olga, I think the first thoughts for everyone here is the same, "Oh God, please no..." Don't know what else to say. Nothing seems sufficient. You know you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. I may only be an online friend, but will definitely be thinking of you in the next few days, weeks, etc. Take strength from your family and friends.

    Hi Olga: I have been busy with the end of the quarter and then I went out of town for the weekend so I am sorry that I have not been the best blog follower. Thank you for sharing this difficult experience and journey with us. I am sure you have many other things to do and many other things on your mind, and I am sure it has not always been easy or pleasant to write about Mike's unexpected illness and, now, death. But I am glad to have been able to hear what has been going on and what is on your heart.

    This was not part of the plan. No. Indeed.

    Peace. Prayers. Compassion. A big hug. I send you all of these.

    Oh Olga, my heart just sank when I read this. In fact, I had to read it several times because I just could not take it all in. My heart is breaking for you. Words seem so inadequate. I hope you know that you are being held very tightly in the hearts of many in the blogging world. My prayers are with you. I am so, so sorry to read this news, dear Olga. May God send His peace and comfort to you.

    Oh my gosh, Olga. I am so very, very sorry. I just had to sit down when I saw this and try to understand. Please know that Art and I both send you and your family our deepest sympathy and aloha. I'm sending you a hug and our love from across the ocean.

    How very sad. He was much too young to pass away so soon. My condolences to you and your family, Olga.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
