    Mommy- I understand how songs can bring up memories. When my brother passed, they had a group at the church sing "That's What Friends are For." during the funeral service. They did such a lovely job, and yet I still cannot hear that song without tearing up some 20 plus years later. That is the thing about grief, it never quit goes away and you never know when it will come up or how.

    Hugs sister.

    Swear that every time I go in for surgery since her passing, my sister and our dad come to me as if to tell me everything would be okay. Swore they came to me last week before the implant surgery.

    Mommy- I often feel people around me too during times like that. I remember lying in the hospital bed when I had my appendix out and was so sick. I felt they were all around the bed, watching over me. Was it them or the morphine? I think it was all of them......

    I think its them, because I kept feeling like there was a hand resting on my shoulder. My mom told me that my dad did that when I was napping before he died.

    Mommy- wow, 90s in CT in May. Practically unheard of!

    Meanwhile in the desert, it has been continuing to rain with t-storms. Today appears clear and sunny starting out.

    Going to see a friend this afternoon who has a stress fracture with her ankle and she is able to get around some on a limited basis. She needs some cheering up as well as help getting to the store for some groceries.

    Yeah it is unheard of. They said we are running about 10 degrees warmer than usual. I'll take the warmer weather over freezing weather!

    Ever since my "kids" came into my life, I have gotten something for Mother's Day from them.

    Teka- my best friend still lives in my home town and where my parents are both laid to rest. They always go to the cemetery on holidays and other special days and put something on the grave for one/both parents. So sweet. I cannot tell you how much that touches my heart.

    People stealing things off the resting place of loved ones to me just the worst.

    Went to the herb festival today before it got cold! A somewhat wintery storm came through and brought cold temps and a blast of precip this morning. I got down there before that all happened, but dang it felt like winter came back. My friends in the mountains tell me that it snowed up top this morning. We had this happen last year too, it snowed in Santa Fe over Memorial Day weekend last year. Where did spring go?

    Here is my loot from the herb fest. Some more flowers for the gardens and the herbs in front for my herb pots.
