It's That Time of Year


Winter is coming
It's time to check the furnace
And to blow the leaves

 So much work to to in Fall
Will there be enough time

Trying to Hide ~ Memories Return to My Mind ~ Reunions

Image
This big toad was in our garage but we opted to put it out near to the garden. It would be too easy to roll over this large animal. My husband's high school class is planning a reunion which may take place later in the Summer or early Fall. His class has a reunion every 5 years. My own high school class has not had a reunion in many years. I can only remember the 20th reunion of my class having taken place.  The talk of his reunion brought up a sad memory. About 5 years ago I got a phone call from a classmate that I had not seen in many years. He talked about the possibility of having a small get together of local classmates rather than a huge reunion.

This is worked on only part time as there are always the usual chores to finish.

The Old School House in Peninsula Ohio
