Good bye…

I recently attended a small meeting of alumni from my high school. We were planning an alumni event for our county-wide high school. It was a fun meeting and we got to visit with some friends that we hadn’t seen for many years.

Gregg, Linda and myself…

Dianne (Linda’s sister) and Russ…

Wayne, Richard  and Vernie…

Vernie, our friend and former classmate died four days later and was buried today…

How sad we have been… how lonely,

how lucky…to have known and enjoyed a good friend,

thank you God…for giving us this friend for the years that were too short for us but just right for you.

Help us understand.

Brown Turkey Figs…

This is my Brown Turkey Fig Tree…I’m ashamed…I have something on my conscience…I have to confess this publicly…I had a tree full of figs this summer and I didn’t do a thing with them…I ate some, but I didn’t make Fig Jam or Fig Chutney or any other fig dish…I’m sorry…but I sure have fat and happy birds and squirrels…that eases my conscience ….a little…I’m sorry, I promise I’ll do better next year!!!

It has these gorgeous huge leaves that are just a little tinged by the frost…still beautiful…

It still has a few figs that haven’t ripened and won’t get to ripen because of the frost…

The leaves are beautiful, I’ve seen bloggers who use them to decorate a beautiful dish that they created…not me…I’m sorry…I’ll do better next year!!!

An empty bird’s nest wearing a dried fig and some bugs…I could say that I didn’t want to disturb it, but I’d be dishonest, I didn’t know it was there before I took these pictures, I’m sorry I’ll do better next year!!!

A wasp thinks he owns this tree…I’m sorry I’ll do better next year!!!

The Brown Turkey Fig Tree did so well this year…I didn’t, I’m sorry, I’ll do better next year!!!
