Farewell to an old friend

We said goodbye to Norman a month ago.

It's been so hard, adjusting to this new normal, without him.

But it was time.  He had been declining for a while and we knew it was coming.

But it's still hard to let go of him.

 

Rest easy old friend.

There is no one else like you.

His demands are simple.
Lawn Mower, Outside BackYard, Right Now.

He will do this every. single. day. if we let him.

And why not I say.

Snail Party

Yeah, we're posting about snails right now.

We get loads of them out after a rain and our path becomes a gauntlet of Very Careful Steps.

Or a crunchy one if we're not paying attention. 
(upsetting for me, but I know that the gardener is quite pleased to have less of them to deal with)
