Autumn's Coming
This summer in FL was way too hot. We love to take our cameras out into nature but it was way too hot. I did my gardening at 7am. We have decided to move back to Rochester, NY after 20 years in FL. Can't wait! Since we are now retired we won't have to worry about driving to work on bad roads! :)
The past year was worse than life in the pandemic. During that time I learned a remarkable new (for me)- stay in the present. Too far forward can cause fear and looking back too far creates regret. In January, our lives changed. Lars was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. Spring and summer were spent in Bismarck playing golf, riding bike, and gardening or fishing and hanging at our pretty Spiritwood Lake cabin. We’ve spent most time with chemo treatments, med appointments, and home care. My favorite times have been spending an overnight with girlfriends at the cabin. The quiet times, the laughs, and the beauty of the lakeside have been brief soul salves. The best times are having the time, talent, and love to spend with Lars - oh, and hanging with our three feline owners. :^)
