June

 


 


I am glad to be back in Vermont appreciating just how beautiful it is at this time of year. Iris are my favorites, and lavendar about to bloom comes in a close second. There's a lot to do, but I took the time to just relax after the long drive back.

Levi has adjusted quite well. I sure the condo is filled with our scents so he felt at home and quickly established a routine. A short walk in the morning with a stop for a game of chase the tennis ball and a long walk in the evening. Breakfast at eight and dinner at four. I swear he can tell time. 

Well, projects will have to start soon but I am off to see my daughter and grandson tomorrow. Granddaughter Kristen has gone to Tennessee.

I love June.

    My iris in Ohio have just finished blooming. My favorites are the deep purple. They did wonderfully this year.

    Vermont is beautiful. Two friends bought houses there. You should post more pics before you sell your condo.

    I agree that June is wonderful. But we are drying out and need rain. Fire danger is now high everywhere, even in Seattle.

Wedding

 Don and I drove to South Carolina to attend the wedding of my step-grandson, Will. Will Will and Katie The wedding took place on Dataw Island, a beautiful outdoor ceremony followed by a reception in the country club. We stayed in a tiny cottage in the historic center of Beaufort, rented from Vrbo. Since the wedding was at 5 p.m., we had time to explore the area a bit. I really like the low country scenery and historical charm. Sitting quietly in the curtained gazebo I was visited by multiple cardinals. They came to visit the feeder, not me, but I can always pretend! How I will always remember Will!

Sadness

 The phone rings. I don't recognize the number and assume it is just another robocall. But later I see that there is message so I listen."This is Diane's daughter. Can you give me a call back." This is immediate cause for worry. Oh, no. Diane must be sick. maybe even in the hospital? I call back with trepidation. But . . . Never would I have thought it could be that my friend had died unexpectedly. My friend who was so full of life, so active, so very vital, strong, and health conscious. My heart aches in the realization that she is not in this world now. Perhaps it is that she is in a better world and with the love of her life, but I still will miss her terribly. Diane

Rest In Peace

 In a summer that has been so wet, Sunday was a reprieve. The humidity dropped and the sun came out. It was a day that could have been special ordered by the family of a friend's husband. It was the day they had arranged his celebration of life ceremony set on the shore of Lake Champlain. I was not looking forward to the gathering, even couched as a celebration. This is a family fraught with relationship tensions. It turned out to be a beautiful day and a beautiful ceremony. A Catholic priest gave a brief but meaningful homily and two Air Force members played "Taps" and presented the American flag to my friend. I am not a Christian, but I do know about Christ Consciousness. That priest's word's filled me with such a sense of peace and love. I hope it did the same for the family members and neighbors who attended.
