My Dearest Nana Lucy

They say that those who truly love Nature, will find beauty all around them. But, to the woman who never spent a day without fresh flowers in her home, the woman who never neglected a garden and cherished every moment outdoors, she not only found beauty everywhere, but carried it everywhere she went. 

Today, we say goodbye to our dear Nana Lucy: a beautiful woman who loved many and was loved by many more. To those of us who knew her, and ache with her passing, we remember her as a gentle, kind, and sometimes stubborn soul who made the best out of every obstacle thrown at her.

September's End

Torn and tangled,
Thrown and trampled
Upon the beaten path.

Crushed and smashed
Before the glass
Can shatter life at last.

With each new batch,
The masters’ catch
Of sweet and bitter feasts,
