“Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise.”
Victor Hugo, Les Miserables
About all the energy I have to share at the moment is Monday's post, but hopefully next month I can share more. My "live-in gardener" (now I need a new name for him) and I are still digging out of our house. It was a rough week this past week and still we have more to do. Much to our surprise,while trying to get our son dug out of our basement (still going on) my husband ended up in the hospital for a day and a night with a kidney stone. So a lot of the moving and cleaning went to me. I cleaned up some of the yard and kept my son moving forward, plus some dear, long time friends came one morning and helped move some furniture to our son's apartment. How amazing those little thoughtful gifts of help have been. They are like glimmers of hope. Hope that very soon it will be finished. Friends and our daughter have been our stars.
I took a few walks in the garden and was amazed at what is waking up.
The daffodils are coming up.
The hellabore are budding and the daphne is beginning to bud.
I think what I will miss most are my walks in the garden.
This week the estate sale team will be working in the house and my husband, son, and sometimes me will still be in the basement working too. Then in one week the real estate team takes over. Yes, there is a light, at least a glimmer, at the end of the tunnel.
Are you seeing any glimmers of Hope/light in these dark times? I hope so!
Sending love,
Marilyn

Oh Marilyn, I hear you. Hang in there -- and cherish the garden when you need a break. How affirming to see those sprouts of green. Daffodils? An early gift!
So sorry to hear your husband was in the hospital with kidney stone, Marilyn. I hope he is doing better. And I do hope the estate sale turns out successful for you. I went to one in the neighborhood last year, and it was so much fun browsing through everything. It will be a sentimental time for you I'm sure letting go of some of your things. Yes, we move in different directions. You will no longer have your garden, but other good things may be coming your way, Marilyn. Moving is exhausting. Take care and focus on the stars and YOU. : )

Oh Marilyn, that's a lot to deal with. I'm hope your live-in gardener is much improved. Kidney stones are dreadful.
I'm so glad that the people in your life offered help and hope - shining glimmers to get you through a difficult time. Hugs.
Beautiful post
