Weekend Work-Symbolic Sunday
After days of much-needed rain, the sun shone Saturday afternoon. Yesterday we went outside and enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine.

I went out front. Mom had work to do there.
This dwarf Alberta spruce (which can be seen in Friday's post) is one of two that marked the driveway. Mom and Dad planted them the first spring when Dad lived with us. This one had been dying for a while, and Mom knew that it was time to remove it.
Poor little tree. It just didn't have enough sunshine to thrive.
As you can see, the one on the left grew tall and strong in the sunshine, but the other one struggled to survive and ultimately succumbed. Was this a clue that Mom should have figured out long ago?~Bathsheba
P.S. Mom was lucky that she bought the Halloween chocolate candy early and has been able to dip into the stash this past week.

Poor little tree. :(
I hope that's not a clue--at least half of the plants and bushes my mom plants die, so much so that she threatens to just plant money next time.
At least that would save water!
With and without sunshine could make this difference, that is amazing~!!!!
My mum manages to kill all the plants - except the weeds. Thems grows the best.
We hope you are doing ok and helping your mum out. Maybe she put should put some candy next to the tempatations stash in the bedside cabinet.

I am glad that the sun came out! Chocolate is a great medicine for Mommies sometimes, that's what I hear anyway!
Good thing your Mom had chocolate. My Mom cried when they had to cut down the magnolia in the front because it was killed by some sort of bugs. Good reason to hunt bugs, I say.
Purrrrrrrs,
your bud Pepi
There are signs everywhere. Good for your mom hitting the candy stash!! Chocolate is GOOD. For humans.

Oh, poor little tree! I certainly know how important sunshine is - for me snoozing in sunshine is one of my very favoritest things to do! I'm glad that you enjoyed the sunshine yesterday! I did too!

Wow, that is a lot of symbolism. I am sure there is a good lesson in there for us. I will have to think about it some more. One thing I do know, is that chocolate is good medicines for beans. So tell your mom to eat her medicines!
The tree that survived sure looks good - a sign that things are not all bad! Halloween candy - especially chocolate - is good medicine for some ailments. Lifts the spirits!

We gotted "5.75" inches of rain in 3 days, so until it looks dry again out there, I'm not gonna try it.

I love Rosie and Cheeto's suggestion, that when your Mom is ready, for her to plant a new tree that will thrive! I'm sorry that the one little tree didn't survive, but the other one looks so healthy. Please let your Mom know I'm giving her lots and lots of kitty snuggles and I'm purring for her to feel better soon.
Purrs and snuggles from Marilyn!
It's a sine! My Food Lady beeleeves in sines. I hope it felt good to dig it up and heeve it into the trash!
Poor tree. Glad your mom had a chocolate stash. Yup. That's good.
