Carmella:

Hello: Oh my goodness gracious, thank goodness for the rain there. It is really nice weather here( 60 and 70’s)., got the gardens ready for the loooooong winter.

I love this (pics of y’alls boys) Sunday Football. I too have inventoried the socks,

Either I am so picky, never can find the proper ones for Snow boots, just got some Cashmere socks for indoors.

Your stew sounds delish, such an delish Autumn food. Enjoy.

Thank you❤️

Karen

Yes, the rain fell steadily all day and most of the night. This morning, there was a beautiful snowfall on the burned mountains. I've gotten teary-eyed several times today over this fire, such a mixture of gratitude and sorrow.

Carmella, this post reminded me of a movie I watched recently and think you would enjoy. Have you seen The Taste of Things? It is in French with subtitles. The story is simple but the cinematography is beautiful! (It is available through Amazon Prime if you get a free trial of another channel.)

Hi Melissa! I've not watched it yet, though I've heard so many people say what you have about it. I'm looking forward to seeing it! Thanks for the reminder.

I so enjoy your thoughts. Although I am now on the 7th floor of a high rise tending to my husband who has end stage Parkinson's Disease, I am able to live vicariously through your writings. I am grateful for the memories that are evoked. Luckily, my view is of the James River, so all is not lost. I watch the ships come and go and I am content.

Thank you for this, Donna. I so love hearing from those of you on the other side of my words. It reminds me that it's not just me here, but so many of you beautiful souls share in this space that I come to every week, too. Isn't life wonderful in the sharing? Blessings to you as you care for your husband and watch the ships come and go.
