Flowers and a Funeral


There's not too many flowers blooming any more. Marigolds, of course, and a few Rudbeckias. My calendar tells me tomorrow is the first day of Fall so  it's not surpriising that everything is slowly coming to a halt.



Remember that black top I found at the thrift store on Tuesday? Today I wore it for the first time. I wore it to a friend's funeral. We weren't particularily close but when we chanced to meet up ( she could often be found at  thrift stores!), we'd have a lively chat. We found out we were even distant cousins. She was such a lovely person and although I knew she had been unwell her death shocked  and saddened me.


Thanks for visiting today,

    You did find some nice things at the thrift store. I rarely find new clothes that I like, but find lots that I do like in thrift stores. You look nice in that little black jacket. I'm sorry to hear that your friend passed away. How do you stay so nice and slim with all that baking that you do?

    That outfit was very nice.

    Sorry about your loss, even if you didn't know each other, that well.

    Yes, flowers are 'getting tired.' :-)

    Sorry to hear about your friend and distant cousin.
    Your garden is so lush. It gives a feeling of being secluded in nature. :)

    I'm sorry for the loss of your friend (and cousin! How amazing!) It's strange - we both had our husbands out of town at the same time, and then we both had funerals. My niece passed away.
