Onions, Roses and This N That

Daddy's onions still grow

and Mom's roses still bloom.

I guess these are part of their legacy.

I sold a painting this week, not enough for me to retire but it was an honor to know that someone liked it enough to pay money to take it home.  It was almost a bittersweet experience but I know it is loved and that makes it easier.

I have a mention on the famous author's blog, Alex Cavanaugh .  I did land on the Jester post but that's an honor.  Alex and I love to spar with words...it is a delight and a challenge, but when it comes to a battle of wits with Alex, I am poorly armed.  Alex visits my other blog, Familiar Spirit, and always has a humorous comeback. Thank you, Alex, for the honor of including me in your Jester post.

Not pictured, but worth a mention...the other thing growing is exhaustion.

The Last Rose

There was a nip in the air this morning and is supposed to be in the forty's tonight. I do not think I am ready for the cold.
Is is wonderful to be able to walk around and see end of season plants and imagine how beautiful they will be in the spring.
Now is time to mulch and plant bulbs and do lots of winterizing.
We have been extremely lucky this year receiving lots of rain with drought in many areas.
The dogs are acting more spry during the cooler weather. Pictured is Cutter a Rat Terrier. All nine of our dogs are differant and each have their talent and job to do.
