“The wind outside nested in each tree, prowled the sidewalks in invisible treads like unseen cats. Tom Skelton shivered. Anyone could see that the wind was a special wind this night, and the darkness took on a special feel because it was All Hallows’ Eve. Everything seemed cut from soft black velvet or gold or orange velvet. Smoke panted up out of a thousand chimneys like the plumes of funeral parades. From kitchen windows drifted two pumpkin smells: gourds being cut, pies being baked.”
― Ray Bradbury, The Halloween Tree

September has come in hotter than Hades, very warm here in Colorado.

September 8th; celebrated by birthday and the death of a beloved monarch Queen Elizabeth II. Amazing to believe that she ruled for 70 years. She was amazing.

Another year down and almost over...2022 July

July 24, 2022

Wow--the year is more than half over and I have not been good ta blogging.

So in October10, 2021 I lost my best friend and mother to Covid. I am heartbroken. I can't believe she is gone. I never imagined that I would lose her so early and for such a stupid thing. She had a cold over her birthday-- I was going to surprise her-- but didn't want to catch the cold...If only...I will never know. I kick myself everyday that I just didn't go... I never got to see her until we let her go and then the hospital let us see her. She looked so much like her mom... She died with her family at her bedside. She never even woke up to know we were there. I love and miss you so much Mom!
