The month began with a celebration of love, my son and daughter-in-law's fifth wedding anniversary and ended with a celebration of love, my daughter and son-in-law's wedding.
There was so much in between. Labor Day celebrations, heading to the river to watch the fountains go off one last time, lots of family birthdays, working at the farm, babysitting little grandson, checking and re-checking the wedding planning lists, making a boatload of white and milk chocolate dinosaurs for thank you favors (that took two full days), grieving the deaths of a friend's mom and a friend's husband, school buses picking up and dropping off the neighborhood kids, opening days for NFL and college football, baseball winding down to playoffs, Jimmy Buffett's death (wonder if he's found that lost shaker of salt), cool evenings on porches, the autumn equinox, getting the gardens ready for fall, planning the spring gardens, cooking with the bounty of summer veggies and now rolling into the fall veggies.
It's the rhythm of life and the beat goes on. Grateful for each day and the moments that come with them.
May we see many more Octobers.
