In Memoriam - To be Brave in Grief

10 years.
Already.
10 years ago on this date I learned of my brother's passing.

A Temporary Seat

Broken limb of majestic Maple
Provides a nice vantage spot
for our Manitou.
Alas, it was chopped and removed
I kind of liked it resting there.
As did our Manitou.

A look at the inside of the tree
showed no rot or aging
So sad.

Makes a heck of a scratching post!

Have you noticed the winter floofing around his neck has begun :)
Snowflakes cannot be far behind.
