The sun is glorious today! Before we know it the cooler fall season will soon be here. Crickets, katydids, and other insects are singing their songs of courtship. The Fireflies will soon be gone as are the Japenese Bettles. The next time when we will see then, it means another summer is here.
Tomatoes are riping on the vine and the basil keeps on leafing onward. It is the time now for us to be soaking up the rays of summer. With winter on the way, it will be soon enough to stay in from the great outdoors.
It was once written:I know how vain it is to gild a grief with words, and yet I wish to take from every grave it's fear. Here in this world, where life and death are equal kings, all should be brave enough to meet what all the dead have met. The future hass been filled with fear, stained and polluted by the heartless past. From the wonderous tree of life the buds and blossoms fall with ripened fruit and in the common bed of earth all will sleep side by side.

My wife Ellen I, lost a dear friend who has fought cancer for a few years now.
I will try to remember that the true way to mourn the dead is to take care of the living who belong to them.
Until another time,HJ
