PROGRESS OF PROJECTS
Privacy Screen Completed and plants in hanging pots August 14, 2023. These plants are all perennials that I will eventually plant out in my perennial beds in front yard once I prepare the in ground beds. #garden #diy I finally finished my privacy screen that is in front of my bathroom window. I am so happy I finished it and I love it! I do still have to finish building some boxes on the backside for my little herb garden that I want to put in to hang on the back of the privacy screen but that will come later. For now I am loving it! The perennials that I have still in their nursery pots that I bought at #Lowes and the hanging baskets I got on sale at #Walmart on clearance! The perennials are Black Footed Daisy (top left basket,) Uptick Gold and Bronze Coreopsis (top right basket,) Belleza Dark Pink Gaura (bottom left basket) and African Iris (bottom right basket)
Getting ready for winter, planning ahead.

CONTEMPLATING PAST AND FUTURE
HEALING MY BROKEN HEART
As many of you may know Zoie and Terra were part of my life from the day they were born in 2005, December 5th. They were my housemates and companions. They were part of my family and my faithful sweet loving fur babies. I didn’t want to let go even when I should have but I finally knew it was time for Terra in May 2021, she died in my arms. Then just about 7 months later Zoie died in my arms. It broke my heart losing my furbabies especially because that was the year I sold my longtime home, the home they grew up in and the home they were always there waiting for me when I came home from work, they were always so happy to see me and I felt the same about them. It has been difficult moving on with my life without them. Tango the dog was living with me at that time but to be honest he was no comfort to me because it was Zoie and Terra that I wanted, not him. I knew it wasn’t his fault and I cared for him and moved him to the new homestead. I worked on the property erecting fences and gates so that he would be able to roam free on the property. He is able to roam free now all around the property and I’m glad he seems happy. These past two years have been a big adjustment period for me and I’ve shed thousands of tears and cried myself to sleep missing Zoie and Terra. It takes time and I have been grieving for my furbabies. I hoped the day would come when the pain would be replaced by gratitude and fond memories instead of instant tears and heart wrenching longing. I reached that point quite by surprise a couple days ago when I refreshed my bios on my social media platforms. I am so thankful those girls were part of my life, they blessed me with companionship and love. I hope I did the same for them. Tango is showing the signs of old age and he is having trouble getting up and down the steps. I will build a ramp like I did for my sweet Zoie and Terra and try to give Tango the best life he can have until that day comes when he too will pass on over that rainbow bridge and maybe Zoie and Terra will be there to greet him so he won’t feel alone.
