Before and After

 My sister Marti passed away four months ago already. 

I can't even express how much I miss her.

Her Memory Prayer Garden 

has really taken off, and through the months

grew to this beautiful, peaceful sanctuary.

I think Marti would love it.

Fur Babies and Nature

 Chip and Daphne love to play.

 Stalking a bug.

 Awe, a good morning kiss.

 I came across this mushroom,

 I've never seen one like this before. 

It's very pretty.

 I told Ken and Jason no more mowing off the path

in the wooded area, so my wild flowers could grow back.

 I love this little puff!

 and, my black eyed susans are back

My memorial prayer garden for Marti

has filled in beautifully.

It's become my outdoor sanctuary.

I'm packing up and going to my brother and sister in laws 

for a few days, see you later!

Meet Daphne

 Isn't she the cutest?

A tiny teacup chihuahua and rat terrier mix.

 Daphne was rescued from an animal hoarder, by my niece.

 She lived in deplorable conditions,

 flea ridden living in filth.

 but she's all mine now,

 happily playing with her new toys!

Daphne immediately stole our hearts.
