My newest Garden Buddy - what a cutie! Thanks Ray! 

Dear Alex - I pray you have found the peace which you were searching for so long. 

An Autumn Day

As the "days dwindle down to a precious few", I recall a time when death was not all around. This time last year I still was not aware that my brother Alex had passed away in August. And my mother was still alive, but the end would come fast with the winter's approach. I wait for a sign, something - anything from him...but I'll miss him most of all when autumn leaves start to fall....
