ADIEU, MON AMOUR

My husband, Maxwell Clayton Lefebvre, passed into God's arms Saturday, November 10th, at 5:15 a.m.
He was 56 years old.  This song by John Denver is for him.

HE IS GONE


I woke today and mourned,
recalled memories of the day we gazed
into each others eyes, and, reciting our vows,
devoted ourselves each to the other,
hands clasped tightly together.

I recall campfires, games, a thieving squirrel,
many shared experiences in peaceful surroundings;
remember how you swooped me into your arms
to carry across the threshold of our first home.
I laugh recalling the baby skunk experience,
smile as I picture the first time we met
our son as you tenderly touched his hand
and held mine.
I remember many moments treasured
only by me, memories which flash by,
scrolling through my mind,
memories filled with joy, laughter, love
and also tears and hurt.
I can almost hear your voice singing,
smell the campfire, and feel
our shared serenity.
I embrace the moments,
appreciate their comfort.
Adieu, mon amour.

FIERCE, FIERY AND FABULOUS FALL























Fall is so fabulously fiery.  Some trees seem to be ablaze.  I just love the brilliance of colors and they help to brighten up the gray rainy scenery.  Every where I go my eyes catch the bright colors and I find myself saying OHHH or AHHH.  I love how some trees are red, some orange, some wine, some a blend of color.
 









































I love the way Fall is singing it final aria loudly and vibrantly.  It is a pleasure to witness.
I hope you are enjoying falls gown as much as I.
