Wandered about the CSU Flower Trial Garden. Even though it’s near the end of the season for them it was a good way to spend a warm sunny fall afternoon.

The Grieving
Dahlia from the CSU Flower Trial Gardens We had my mother’s graveside service this past Thursday morning, just a small gathering of family and friends. It was good for me to meet my mothers best friend since high school for the first time. They were each others maid of honor. Saw family I’d not seen in a while. And, of course we always say how we only meet at funerals anymore. My sister and I returned late Thursday evening so it was a quick trip. Found myself emotional and crying yesterday morning. I’ve heard it said that greif does not go away but only becomes different. The grieving process.

rebirth
Another flower and bee from the CSU Trial Gardens. there will be moments when
rebirth by Alexandra Elle
you will bloom fully and then
wilt, only to bloom again.
if we can learn anything from
flowers it is resilience is born
even when we feel like we are
dying. -

A bee enjoying the nectar from a cosmos at the CSU Trial Gardens “When you have a moment, just listen to the beauty of silence. It has so much to say.”
Armin GangulyI found this article from the Sierra Club interesting. Some of you may have already read it or at least seen the headlines about it. The Sierra Club is apologizeing for some of the early directions the organization took and the views of some of their founders. I found it very revealing and helping me see my role of my privileged life.
