Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2008. Hard to believe that Mattie was diagnosed with cancer at that point. That weekend, Mattie and Peter met up with our neighbor and they walked JJ, the Jack Russell Terrier. Mattie loved JJ and these two practically grew up together. When Mattie died, JJ was besides himself. He wouldn't eat for weeks and every afternoon, he came down to our front door and sat on our outside mat. Hoping to find and see Mattie. I learned from JJ and our cat, Patches, that animals do indeed grieve.

While my dad's caregiver was here this morning, I told my mom that we had to get out, get fresh air and walk. Because of my dad's situation, it is impossible to leave him alone. Which means it is difficult to get chores done and forget about having a minute to catch your breath.
Outside my parent's living room window is this fountain. The birds LOVE the fountain, and use it as a bird bath. We get all sorts of birds on the fountain, including hummingbirds.
On our walk, we passed this house. I absolutely love its gardens.
It was wonderful to see all this greenery and appreciate the roses. It was a good mental health break. As I am all aches of pains and even advil isn't helping.Check out this tree! It literally has a branch that is sitting on top of the brick wall! It looks more like an octopus!
While walking we passed two women. One was telling the other that Frank Sinatra once lived in this house. I never knew this! In fact, Mary Astor and her husband built the house in the 1930's, which Frank Sinatra owned in the late 1940's and Bobby Darin and Sandra Dee owned in the 1960's.
How did you like this spiky plant? It is as big as I am. The beauty of a sunflower! Meanwhile, check out Sunny! Making himself right at home with Peter's home.
