It is lovely to see the vivid colours of your flowers in pots and all the growth of spring around you. We had a glorious few days of Indian Summer and now autumn has come with a vengeance - yesterday no leaves on the lawn, now covered with a mosaic of them. One of our trees went golden overnight and the high winds of yesterday have meant it is now nearly bare. Thank goodness your arm is now free of its prison and you can start living your life properly again.Anne Ruffellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00523190649700904037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-51065741216347927682011-10-05T21:30:03.513+13:002011-10-05T21:30:03.513+13:00Worth a celebration being able again to hold that ...Worth a celebration being able again to hold that beauty and colour in two handsMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-68907951546765943142011-10-05T20:33:33.805+13:002011-10-05T20:33:33.805+13:00Thanks for visiting, Kate and Deckhand.

I know the feeling of weakness once plaster has been removed, I had my foot in plaster for six weeks after surgery and I was so surprised, and disappointed, at how weak my foot felt ...but so good to be free.<br />I have enjoyed catching up on your past posts and enjoyed your words and photos. What a special time when all generations gathered around your family elder. We are off to Hawera in a few days to celebrate with Jeff's uncle for his 97th birthday - just the two of us and him but it will be special.Marilyn & Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851884880790561276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078877172139600813.post-1616924759177778132011-10-01T11:25:35.178+13:002011-10-01T11:25:35.178+13:00Thank you for sharing the joy with me Penny.
