For the first time since we had to send Marley over the Rainbow Bridge, I decided to not just sit in a rocker on the porch for a spell, but take one of our long walks through our lovely grounds for a change.
At the end of August, here in New Jersey, the mornings are generally cool, slightly breezy, and most refreshing. That is, if the weather is clear and sunny with little humidity to notice. Today is one of those days.
Our grounds are beautifully landscaped with the most colorful flowers and well-placed. Our vegetable garden is still producing and all the birds are tweeting sweet melodies. Butterflies sit alongside me on the bench beneath the pergola, and even the occasional bee doesn't land to investigate.
However, my heartstrings are still pulling me in several directions, since I did not have my faithful companion of the last 10 years at my side. I even started talking out loud as though she were there, and caught myself before being dragged off to a looney bin.
However, I will continue these long walks throughout October as long as our skies and temps permit. What a great day.
