We're home! Just in time to celebrate Dad's birthday by finding or baking (later on) the perfect chocolate cake… and by remembering all the loving and wonderful times - the memories he created with us that remain to be cherished. An awesome legacy. He'd love, love what we arrived home to. After all, he's responsible for my adoration of outdoor gardening…
"Nick, Nick, we have a pumpkin!" exclaimed Joe after checking the lake estate upon our arrival, yesterday. :-)
So, here's our little pumpkin. Better late than never. And growing as a result of our withering pumpkins tossed into the woods, last year. But those dilapidated fruits carried this year's seeds and are now bearing fruit. Or are punkins veggies? Take your pick and celebrate with us. All occasions great and small. Do you see this, Dad?
Yes, my Dad is smiling. He's always smiling on us. Still missing him, though I feel his constant presence. Always loving him beyond words. ♥
