November is a season of change.
Our pond is filled off of irrigation water so it is empty 6 months of the year. It empties slowly, imagine being our ducks.
I am sure they were quacking to each other….
The leaves have all fallen from our trees and the wind has been howling. We don’t rake leaves, we just wait for them to blow into the next county.
We’ve had the end of Daylight savings. I am not the only one that gets messed up with those changes.
Halloween has come and gone. As I work at an elementary school, I remind the children yearly…
“Now remember, when you share your Halloween candy with Miss Ellen, I really like Tootsie Rolls and The Librarian loves those yucky coconut Almond Joys “.
There are always a few kids who love surprising us both with a bit of their bounty. This year, I had a surprisingly excellent haul.
Not all changes are as easy to handle as these. My brother is in the final days of his life and my heart is heavy. I am also grateful and comforted, by the way my older brother and sister and my nephews are loving and caring for him. I know that although my heart is breaking, I am blessed.
Oh Ellen…. backed up on e-mail as usual and just seeing this heart-breaking entry. Sending you and your family much love and prayers. Don’t know if he has passed, but praying your brother be free of pain, wrapped in love, and feeling a sense of peace as he makes this transition. Love you. xo-m
Thank you so much. He did go peacefully with our sister by his side… My heart cannot believe he is gone…. Appreciate your prayers and love,
