Taken on the same day, seven years apart. The maple tree survived the winter and is doing well.
We finished cutting down the Mayday, seen below, this spring. It's been mostly burned, because of the black knot fungus. And sweet old Lucy is in the photo too. I still tear up when I think of her.
This past weekend, we bought and planted an apple tree where the Mayday used to be. In the bottom of the hole, I sprinkled Lucy's ashes. She'll forever be a part of this yard.
Charlie is doing well, settling in. He and Heidi like wrestling together which is good for both of them.
I think you put Lucy's ashes in the perfect place in your beautiful yard.
ReplyDeleteThats a cool idea, taking a picture every year from the same place - nothing stays the same...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful remembrance for Lucy. You garden is so pretty. Happy Charlie.
ReplyDeleteA sweet way to remember Lucy! And your backyard is so attractive! That's not a big rhubarb patch that I spot near your paved patio, is it?
ReplyDeleteI would love to sit out there and read--such a calm and beautiful ambiance. Perfect location for Lucy's resting place.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with the apple tree!
ReplyDeleteYour "yard" (i.e. garden) is looking splendiferous right now even though Blogger spellchecker does not recognise the word. What a lovely thing to do with Lucy's ashes.
ReplyDeleteLucy will always be with you. Charlie looks like he knows he has fallen on his feet!
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful, and I can't think of a more fitting place for Lucy's ashes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome boy Charlie is ! Your garden looks very well tended.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice way to remember Lucy. And Charlie is quite handsome!
ReplyDeleteCharlie appears to have a very sweet spirit.
