Thankful Thursday In The Garden


Welcome to the beginning of Fall into the Garden this season.

I love the way that the Japanese Maple turns bright red in Autumn.

It is just so vibrant and beautiful.

Ping says: Mom it's just a leaf.
Geesh!

But pretty nevertheless Ping.

We all hope your Garden is doing well transitioning from Summer towards Fall.
As life transitions so does Nature.
We have moved away from our summer of Loss to a quieter time of Fall.
Soon we will all be cocooned into the coldness of Winter.
It will serve as a time of reflection for the ManxMnews house.
We hope like the butterfly which emerges in Spring, so we shall find a renewed life seeping  back into our lives. Mom is coping with her loss of Abby, and she finds the struggles a challenge. Even though she is moving forward, she is still so poignantly melancholy in her soul. But Mom knows that this is the way of growth and transition. She will emerge different, and that the passage will not be easy. But upheaval causes great evolution. One day at a time.
We wish you a thankful heart during the change of seasons.

Dad is having his surgery today we ask for your purrs and prayers.
Mom will try and update as she can and may her commenting may be spordiac.
(hugs to all)
