Went to my dad’s for the one year mark of my momma’s passing. So happy I was with him, it was a pretty hard day.
I decided to take a break from wordy posts and share some of the photos I took while there. It seems like sometimes, photos can do the best talking, all on their own.
Thanks for being here. Hope you have a wonderful day.

Hi. Thank you very much!! I agree. Peeling paint is pretty cool. Rustic and aged in some really unique ways. Earned. That word just came to mind. ❤️

Your dad is neat. Mine wasn’t until he went blind. He knew he had to keep everything in its place or he’d never find anything. I’m not at that point yet
I enjoyed seeing your photos and reading of your connection to them.

Hi Anne, I was driving home from the half way mark from dad’s after I posted this. Your dad was blind? Oh my! For how long? Love that he kept everything where he could find it.
Thank you. I love taking pictures there. I’ve done it while there for years- still enjoy it so much. I like sharing that part of my life. Thank you.

My dad had adult macular degeneration — AMD. He gradually went blind and knew he couldn’t be messy any more. Treatment has improved since then.

I’m sorry. That stinks. One of my favorite great aunts from Iowa had that. She was so upset by it because she made embroidery for years and loved doing it. I’m happy to hear treatment has improved. Hooray for that.

I quit playing the piano because I can’t see the notes on the page. It wasn’t devastating, since I am spending more time writing now.

Yes, sometimes pictures do speak louder than words 😉 … I love the old pump, as well as your words how you describe each photo.

Hi. Thank you SO much. That pump! My momma bought that pump at a sale, had it awhile, then gave it to me. She always loved it sooooo much, so I gave it back to her. When their beloved dog passed away, they made a memory spot under her favorite willow tree. There’s a garden gate there, my grandpa’s windmill, the green birdhouse I shared in this post, a stone cross, a watering can, and this pump. In the summer, the spot is full of wildflowers. So comforting and pretty there.
