October Greetings

October Greetings to All

September has sped by with wild wet weather and farmers anxious to get on the fields. Mum has been working hard in various therapies along with "supervising" the repair work on the terrace that held her beautiful garden this summer. The heavy rains of this year have resulted in newly found leaks in the brick Wascana building and the gardens and terraces have been dug up (way too soon for the liking of the residents!). Mum writes of the leaves changing on the trees outside her window that are now being caught by the sunny warm breezes of the last few days. With bare trees, more light shines into her west facing room.

Many of you have written or visited in the last month. Thank you. There is a quote that hung on Mum's wall in Abernethy for many years that seems fitting for this transition time of year:

"The cream of enjoyment in this life is always impromptu:
the chance walk;
the unexpected visit;
the unpremeditated journey;
the unsought conversation or acquaintance."

Each of these have been present in Isabel's life this summer and fall. Thank you for your care and love.
