I feel for your dad, it is so hard to function with back issues. I know, my husband has had 3 surgeries so far and is always suffering. Perhaps one day he will settle on visiting those cherished places

The list is endless when you have so much happening on the homestead like you do. I feel for you! Thankfully, your family is capable of helping you out with everything. I am glad to hear you are at least

Thank you so much for teaching the children well. It is a wonderful experience learning to take care of them and then seeing them emerge from the chrysalis brings such joy.

Thank you so much, I am very careful with them and make sure they always have fresh leaves to enjoy. Seven will be in the Chrysalis stage by the end of the day. I have 7 more that are still growing, lol.

My heart goes out to you and your family. There are never enough moments to say goodbye and yet somehow there is comfort in knowing that someday you will both be together once again in spirit.

Oh, how beautiful of you to share this awesome song. My heart goes out to the women who have recently found themselves alone. May time heal their broken hearts and may their memories once again bring smiles

I am so sorry you have to go through that process again. I can't even imagine how mind-boggling it is. It is supposed to reach 100° here today. I am going out to tie up tomatoes in a minute before the

It looks like your little seal knows exactly how to play to the visitors, ha ha ha.

Teehee, you do visit my gardens every time I make a post for you to see.

Wow, that fish sculpture is fantastic.

Oh my, he sure does have long legs, yikes!

Hahaha, Virginia is definitely a different place to settle into. I have many family members that live down there and it takes time to get used to the weather, hot and rainy, then dry as a boneyard, lol.

NIce harvest and great job on the canning. It takes a lot of work to get that much done. I just did beets yesterday and that was enough for one day for me. ♥

The photos are stunning and wow, the bright colors on that bird are amazing.

It is crazy to think that it has been 7 years already. I started out on Steemit and switched to Hive when it split. I love the cackling hen, they really do not like to be disturbed, lol.

Thank you @none for your support.
