This time of the year always brings mixed emotions to my being. I love the warm, blue sky sunny days with cool evenings and chilly nights. However I know that the cold is coming and with it the bare trees, frozen ground and short days. This year however there is another reason to be sad at the end of summer and flowers, green grass, cool hikes , and garden work; my dearest Mother is passed on from this earth and as the winter approaches so does a sadness in knowing she will not be around to share the holidays with us.
There is a peace in knowing she is resting in a finer place and free from all that held her back the last few months of her life. So there is a bittersweetness in my heart and yet I feel blessed to be a part of her and to carry on her love of nature and all she cared for so dear and near.
Our family is blessed and in spite of all our scars and wounds we are strong and will rise to be united together as we always have in the past.
So come sweet fall and as you pass into the cold and darkness of winter, bring peace to me in knowing you are present in all that is lovely and sad.
