Beautiful bloom

I received many beautiful flowers and plants when John died. After 5 1/2 months, this lily I received from the Parrish family is blooming for the first time.

It is a symbol of life to me.

Around my house

It's been a long summer for me, and writing posts for my blog has just not been possible as I try to adjust to a completely new life.

Lately friends have been asking me when I am going to post again ... and because of them, I realize that it's the right thing to do to get back to my blog posts.

Here are some pictures I took around the house in the past week:
