I love your pink poppies - what beauties.<br />It is hard to accept the changes that come with getting older. I hate the hot flashes that appear will be with me to the end. And hormone meds do truly help mellow everything out - don't you think?<br />I feel so sad for your sister. Life can be so unexpected and hard. I work for a large cancer hospital and part of my job is reading the obits every day and looking for our patients. They both make me sad and inspire me. Death has a way of helping us sort out what is truly important and how to spend our lives more wisely.<br />CindyCustom Comfortshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14632267295969050029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981415164270569467.post-30414583528324841202013-06-28T21:43:33.877-06:002013-06-28T21:43:33.877-06:00I was thinking of you and thought I would pop by.....I was thinking of you and thought I would pop by...again, but I see i must not have clicked on publish!<br />Thinking of you all the same, and your dear family.

I can grow a few here and there but have never had the lovely flower beds I see in magazines and on your breathtaking blog. I am clearing out spaces and places for flowers and bushes, beginning this week. Have you posted any photos in the past of wide-shots of your gardens?

Quiet places to do our deeped thinking as you said. And sometimes places to shed private tears.<br />I so agree with you about ME...oversharing, I ask myself sometimes, WHY DID YOU THINK everyone needs to know that. Sheeesh. <br />And there are certainly times when I have felt a little "less" too.<br />Perhaps we as women share those feelings eh.<br />So very sorry to hear about your sister's husband. Such a difficult time I am sure. <br />And, I'll keep telling you, I think you have such a beautiful yard/garden.

I am experiencing a lot of the symptoms you described but I had to have a hysterectomy years ago & have taken hormones since. I feel like I'm going through menopause. Night sweats, forgetful, cranky (although I think that's just my nature). I love your garden therapy, think I need to do some weeding of my own today. <br />Love to you always.<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100504828452604755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981415164270569467.post-90968869737176345752013-06-22T06:24:08.918-06:002013-06-22T06:24:08.918-06:00hello

I'm so glad that this beautiful corner of nature you've nurtured has become a place of respite and peace for you. I think anyone walking in your gardens could find solace and a gentle place to reflect on life's events.<br />I'll say a prayer for your sister and her family, and also one for you - that you're not too hard on yourself!<br />Oh, and I must tell you how much I loved your article in Melinda's premiere magazine.

It seems that in the silence, I can hear God speak to my heart, as well. The beauty in nature becomes magnified...and I get a glimpse of God's glory, even if it's for a moment. Even tho I feel worn out physically by the end of the day, I am refreshed in my spirit from spending time in the gardens.<br />Your post is beautiful, June. One that so many of us can relate to. You are such a blessing.<br />xoDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16600235934416288679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981415164270569467.post-15791182559524944422013-06-20T05:51:29.294-06:002013-06-20T05:51:29.294-06:00Oh I so needed to read this today June.

I will be praying for your sisters family, for all who will be left with a void in their lives. <br />Your garden is gorgeous, just gorgeous! Being from a family of 12, I used to sneak into one of the upstairs closets, it had the sweetest tiny window in it and sometimes I would climb out that window and onto the roof where no one could find me. we all need our alone time... my time-outs serve that for me today! <br />Have a wonderful weekend! love,t.xoxothe old white househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12640264796748761771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6981415164270569467.post-25729003974908811362013-06-20T01:05:51.239-06:002013-06-20T01:05:51.239-06:00Dear June, I'm very sorry to hear about your s...Dear June, I'm very sorry to hear about your sister's husband.
