Lots of nature sights, birds, all around our yard, and our september flowers continuing to blossom :) Holly and i went out to enjoy some fresh air and sunshine today :) There's lots of birds visiting the feeders, and nature sights that are shining all around :) We're having a nice, gentle easy day with lots of nature, our favorite sports radio, reflections, and also getting ready for a baking friday adventure :) yesterday evening the triplets were here, and asked me, "hey Chris, are we having baking friday this week?" and i said, "we are, lets bake some goodies" :) The kids and us all are looking forward to baking :) it'll be nice, the cookie monsters getting together to bake some seasonal goodies :) Thank you angel friends, for all of your continued comforting love, prayers, support, and warm well wishes :) We love you all bunches and bunches :) it's very special, how DS, and us all are here for eachother, through all times. it's very comforting and uplifting :) We look forward to having family over tomorrow, for a baking friday adventure :)



hi angel friends :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, healthy, and enjoying a nice day :) We think of you all often :) There's continuing to be a flourish of birds visiting our yard each day, especially in the mornings :) Lots of birds, and also the squirrels are visiting :) We've had some chilly crisp weather in the mornings, and it's feeling like that classic fall season air beginning to arrive :) during our car ride yesterday, we saw some leaves, trees, that are beginning to change colors a bit with the chilly mornings we've been having :) it'll be a flourish of fall season nature sights very soon :) our plants and pumpkins are doing well, and we love seeing the birds visiting our yard, and feeders :) It's bringing a comfort, and peacefulness <3 We're continuing with the very good care, adding more simple joys into our days, and keeping surrounded by love, care, support, and prayers :) it means the world to us, knowing you all are there for us :) We'll always be here for you all too :)



This morning, while i was outside for my early morning nature walk, i was taking in some nature sights, and sounds of the early new day rising and shining with some sunshine trickling into our yard, and the birds happy to visit the feeders :) We're feeling a heart-felt proudness to keep my brother Charlie's love for nature alive, with his feeders in our yard :) we have a couple more of his bird feeders, that we'll be adding into our front yard soon :) we feel close with Charlie, while we're enjoying seeing the birds visit our yard, and feeders <3 we want his continued loving memory, and spirit, prescence to forever, and always be a big part of our hearts, our days, and times when we're outside in nature :) by the fruit trees, the birds are visiting the feeders often :) it's very neat to see the birds gathering, they perch on the branches, and all taking turns flying onto the feeders :) i put lots of goodies out there, including sunflower seeds, and peanuts :) i saw some bluejays this morning :) it was also very neat and heart-felt seeing the red cardinal yesterday :) Thank you angel friends, for your heart-felt comments :) we love looking for signs, from our loved ones that have passed, as those signs give us a comfort, and helps us feel like they are right there with us <3



With September nature flourishing, some leaves changing colors a bit ,we still have some beautiful flowers in our yard, and garden :) We have sunflowers, including the burgundy and yellow ones, marigolds, cosmos, morning glory flowers (Charlie loved those flowers), along with poppy flowers, and more :) it's nice to see the flowers continuing to blossom, a gardening season journey we began last april and may, and to see the flowers continuing to blossom, it's heart-warming :) We have 2 nice pumpkins growing too :) Holly and i want to pick the pumpkins in early october :) we love pumpkins, and are so glad some grew this season :) nature, brings a comforting peacefulness, and as we've been getting our health back more, it's so nice going out to enjoy some peaceful nature, sunshine of september, and seeing our nature friends visiting our yard :) Thank you angel friends, for sharing in the september nature with us, as we get ready to welcome the fall season soon :) We look forward to seeing more fall foliage, and our flowers blossoming the rest of the season, along with our nature friends visiting our yard, and feeders each day :)



We're continuing to take things an hour, and a day at a time :) Holly and i have been checking in on my mom and dad, making sure they are taking good care, eating well, and keeping hydrated :) Doing some things around the house, organizing a bit :) We've been also catching up on some good rest :) You all have been giving us lots of strength each day :) my mom and dad spent some time sitting outside by the snowball bush :) Holly's been doing some crocheting, and we also put our favorite sports radio on :)We enjoy tuning into the sports radio :) With all that's going on lately, it's good, and healthy to add in some normal routines, into our days and it bringing a comfort too :) The outpouring of love, care, support, and prayers is amazing, from family, friends, neighbors, so many reaching out to us all, and also checking in to see how we're doing. We feel very blessed, grateful, and appreciative <3 we're continuing to plan a service, memorial for Charlie, very soon. We've been continuing to talk, sharing stories, memories. it's helping very much, to write, sharing, and also writing about our days here, i'm very thankful to have my DS journal :)
