Sorry to hear you had to fly back so quickly, but I hope at least it's a sign that your Mum is making good progress. My blog has been very quiet lately too, so you haven't missed anything on that front at least (must be a weight off your mind!) - but work has calmed down a bit, so I hope to be back blogging more in the next few days. Hope to see you back here soon, I always enjoy your updates!<br />Di xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16416049659075671165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-83307740082120156112011-11-11T11:58:01.271-05:002011-11-11T11:58:01.271-05:00Dear Pam - You've captured so much loveliness ...Dear Pam - You've captured so much loveliness in your garden before the metamorphosis of the quiet season.

We are walking through similar circumstances in my family as well. <br /><br />Your garden was looking so alive for the end of October! We had very mild weather for Oct, perhaps that was your case also. (It just frosted on the 29th.) How exciting to have the butterflies calling it home! The marigolds with the blueberry bush made me smile for all of their brashness... so energetic. <br /><br />Hope that you are able to enjoy the nice weather in England during your stay, and a walk at least around a tree-lined block. <br /><br />JulieWife, Mother, Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601987822088200476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2608010804192268779.post-81845345824673048512011-11-03T11:25:11.009-04:002011-11-03T11:25:11.009-04:00The storm didn't do much here coldwise, but th...The storm didn't do much here coldwise, but there was a frost last night and I haven't been out to look at the damage yet.

I know the pressure you feel, my own mother is 90 and so not able to look after herself properly but refuses point blank to have carers come in. I am looking to add a picture of your garden and a link to your site on my (Your Gardens) page.

It's a difficult time deciding what to do for the best when they get to that age ! I know because I have done it. If the time comes for your mum to have to leave her home and go into care it will be sad, but at least you will know she is being looked after 24/7.

I know at that age sometimes it is a slow recovery.I am glad you got some pictures of the metamorphosis. There is always next year. I love the picture of the bright red berries on your crabapple tree. That is a gorgeous picture of the corn field with the Fall leaves in the woods beyond.

The walk through your garden was enchanting as always. <br /><br />It dawned on me after reading your post that the the stages of a butterfly are very much like our lives.
