the end of the day...rest time

we have sun predicted for a couple of days so I'm racing time and trying to get things done outside. it's beautiful out and the garden thrives.

a time of beauty and, for me, a time of sadness, because so much of my garden reminds me of my dear friend april.

I think her flickr site has been closed down by her husband or I've been blocked. I wish you all could see her wonderful work.

 

so....good times and sad times.

 

schubert the standard poodle is our oldest doggy now. he is partly deaf and has cataracts. he follows me loyally when I garden until time for treats and rest, but when I come in and upstairs, he comes with me.

both of us old and slightly decrepit, keeping each other company as we rest together after work.

 

I will be off flickr again while the sun shines.

and this photo is best viewed large.
