was looking through the calendar for the past year for work and saw some of the various appointments and tests that I went through last year…

was a jolt to realize all the places I had to go and tests that needed to be done… all before my surgery in July…

buds on the trees March 25, 2012

it really is quite amazing how quickly we can forget some of that not-so-pleasant information…

in the garden April 4, 2012

last year at this time, I looked like I was eight months pregnant and had to be careful about any activity so that my hernia wouldn’t get grumpy and I wouldn’t feel sick… the weather was beautiful then, we were in the garden in t-shirts and the trees were beginning to bud…

the garden this year…

today I was talking with someone and noted that I feel lighter now that we have passed the one year anniversary of George’s death… seems odd but that is how I feel…  there will still be lots of things to be through, but maybe the worst is over…
