Another story of hope. She needed hope to start again and there is always faith and hope felt in the planting of a seed. I'm glad she's safe, I'm glad she's happy. As you know, I ran from my first marriage but fortunately he wasn't vicious, just a drug addict that was hard to get away from. But there was a month I lived in the fear that my children I might never escape the darkness he created and I relived that fear every autumn every year. But this year, 24 years later, my heart knows I am away. I am safe. I am strong. I feel the sun on my face and I smile.

That’s a great story!

Our tomatoes grew and flowered but barley produced anything this year. I’ll miss having home-grown food once we start the traveling.

We've been eating tomatoes from my deck and they're so much better than store bought. I've had to rely too much on my kids to water them, with all the health troubles this summer, though. I don't think I'll plant any next year. 😢
