It had been a few weeks since Greg and I were able to get to Away (for the weekend)
So - last Friday as we crossed the state line into Vermont
- it was like - deep breath - ahhhh
It had also been a while since I had picked up my camera (bad, bad)
And then - Saturday turned out to be a rainy day - and it really didn't matter
- because - you know - that breathing thing...
- and besides, I kind of like the way the autumn leaves look in the mist
- and I had forgotten how much I like telling Greg to "Stop right here!"
because - you know - it's kind of fun to take photos of cows
(and barns and fences) in the rain :-)
So - today I am heading out of town to celebrate the life of my
sister-in-law, Beth. Heaven gained a really special person last week.
I am joining Theresa at Run*A*Round Ranch for Good Fences
Have a wonderful weekend
Karen, so sorry about the loss of your SIL - sad for you I'm sure.

ReplyDeleteI like that you are "celebrating the life" of your SIL instead of mourning her passing. It's hard to lose loved ones but such a joy to know they are in a better place.

Sympathy to you for the loss of your sister in law.

ReplyDeleteYour photos are magical! I was sorry to read about your families loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for your loss but I love that you said you were going to celebrate her life and that heaven had gained a really special person. That's exactly how I felt when my sister passed away last spring. Your photos of the fall foliage are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteKaren, My sympathies on the loss of Beth. It sounds as though her life warranted a celebration. Your fall photos of VT bring back memories to me - fond ones!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen, I too am sorry for the loss of Beth….I know you will miss her but she will certainly be happy in heaven….
ReplyDeleteYour fall photos are wonderful. I totally understand taking shots in the rain as I actually did today….My camera has not gotten lots of use but I hope to change that…I have missed you.
I am so deeply sorry to hear about Beth. May she rest in peace...
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful. I have dreamed of going to Vermont! Maybe someday...and definitely when the leaves are changing.

Good to see you back-----my most sincere sympathy on the loss of your sister-in-law
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting after seeing your comment on Debbie Bricks blog. I live in Florida so don't get the change of colors, so I'll definitely be looking forward to your posts for the next few weeks. :O)
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your loss. I think Vermont must be a beautiful state and I hope one day to visit there. My mother's ancestors were from Vermont..I'd like to do a little family research there, too.
ReplyDeleteLove the fall colors of Vermont! Some day I hope to get there in the fall.
