OCTOBER 9TH,2006
I have had the best day today. Let me back up a little. Yesterday I had to take Terry's garden apart. It's always hard to do that....but has to be done up here in Maine. I put all the stepping stones away and all the statues and the lights that surround the garden every summer. It took me a long time this year. Guess I'm getting old,but will continue doing it till I can't do it anymore. Now for today. My Grandson Dale came over to help cut the yard for the last time this year.His two special sisters were here too and of course Mommy Carrie. He was cutting away and all of a sudden he told us to come and see the Monarch. It was just out of the cocoon as she was trying to dry her wings. She visited with the girls and Dale.Mommy took her turn and then it was mine. I let her crawl all over me and it felt so good. I just knew it was Terry......She visited with us for about 3 hours. Then she flew away.I know it was a sign and she was here visiting with us. She knew I hated to do away with her garden yesterday and I needed a little up-lift.  Thanks so much Terry for the fine visit.
