What Is She Doing

What does it look like to you? Now - you have to have a little sense of humor! Yep, you're right. I am trying out my cemetery plot! You see, there have been so many deaths around me lately. So many friends! And, since I am no young chick, I decided I should start taking care of business. 


Ten years ago, I bought a five foot by five foot cremation cemetery plot in our little town cemetery up on the hill. Yes, cremation. That will be the only time in my life that I will ever be SMOKIN' HOT! Are you still with me?


The cemetery has grave sites dating back to the early years of the Gold Rush Era with the earliest known burial in June of 1855.

I need to hire a workman to put in required curbing, probably three feet high and prepare the site for use. My unconditional lovers (my pets) will be with me. I already have the cremains of my little Yorkie dog, Pixie and my little Tabby cat, Puff. And, any future pets (probably Lily) that I may have will be with us. In addition, at  his request, My Special Man who shared five years of his life with me in "Sunset Love" (2010-2014) will also join us for which I feel very comforted and honored.

The other consideration is the head stone. I will have to think about that for awhile. They can be rather pricey.

What's new with you?

The Camellias Are Still Blooming

With California weather patterns changing in the recent years and especially with the current drought issues the garden responds so differently each year. I think my camellia bushes have had more blooms this year than in the past. And, they are still blooming. And, I like that. Just take a look.




There are three bushes side by side and each are at least eight feet tall.

I hope you enjoyed their beauty as much as I do when I go out to the garden.

Blessings,

Mary

New Beginning

This idea feels like a good thing to do. I did not think I would ever blog again. But, I truly missed it. This blog will be a little different then my others that have temporarily been closed. Don't ask me what will be different because I don't know yet. I guess the blog will evolve as we go!

IN MY GARDEN there is a large place for sentiment. My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams. The Thoughts grow as freely as the flowers and the dreams are as beautiful. - Abram Urban

In the garden I tend to drop my thoughts here and there. To the flowers I whisper the secrets I keep and the hopes I breathe. I know they are there to eavesdrop for the angels. ~Dodinsky
