There is so much wisdom that comes from older people, or those that have been through difficult experiences. This picture below is my Aunt Peg(with my sister Jane), the sister to my Uncle that just passed and my Dad who has been gone for 14 years.
She married a Navy guy at 17 and they have lived all over the world. Her husband was older than she was and he passed away over 25 years ago. After the services and all were over, she said Uncle Milt would always say, “Life is for the living”, “don’t carry on about me when I am gone, live your life”. So that was her motto. She took her children and grandchildren to Disney and they were able to be together as a family. So with that being said, I am moving on with the living!!

These are my mums from last year! They are so beautiful! They have filled in the buckets and look so nice. It is reminding me of all of the wonderful fall colors that I love.
Red tomatoes already~
My pumpkin plants are growing well~ the pic below is how they are doing now. The one on the right is growing in the compost.
They are popping up in between the flowers as well.
