[Elphanigh]

Seems I can't catch a break.... can I come join you in the garden?

I am glad to keep you company. I am sorry your memories are being so hard on you. Hopefully, this helps lessen them. For now it is more just general life things giving me issues..

::: Slips in, takes a rocking chair and a blanket of soothing and comfort. :::

I hope y'all don't mind. I need the porch today, but I'm really deep inside my own head and need to process some things quietly. Long weekend.

[Elphanigh]

Let me know if you need anything at all Wife2. I will be in and out of this place today, but akways here to help.

aaahhhh, it's good to be back.  rocking chair, blanket of calm and soothing, keeping you all company in the way you need, and you are all giving me exactly what i need, too.   love and hugs.  i do believe we will love this beast to death eventually. 

[Wife#2]

Now THAT is a dream I can relax and enjoy, San. Beautifully said. Thank you!

[Elphanigh]

Definitely going to be here in spirit. Found out my dads diagnosis and without a car my days have been12+ hours long... it is difficult but I am managing.

In this place today I can take a good rest in a chair, on the porch. Can eve rhave a good cup of tea and read a book. Maybe curl up with an animal even. I miss you all so much, so I am here with you today

I just got an invite.  Can I come in and bring a good book and some crocheting? 

And oh, by the way, is there lemonade?

[Elphanigh]

Definitely bring both of those. Lemondade is my favorite! Do you like it flavored or traditional? I can get both 

[Elphanigh]

I need this place today.. more than I have ever needed it.. this will be my escape for my mind. I can't bring myself to eat or drink today..

So I want to hang out on the porch, watching a rain storm from a comfy chair. Drinking my favorite tea,  with smells of bergamont (my favorite calming oil)

Ignoring all the hurt and the ef I am in right now

[Elphanigh]

I may have to work all day but in spirit I am going to be on the porch all day. My anxiety is having a hay day with me and it is only 9:11... I am going to sit in my hammock with a good book and try to get a nap in as well. 

[alliematt]

Today, I do need to work; but I'm going to bring my hammock later and relax.

[sanmagic7]

allie, so glad you're joining us.  i knit, and as the weather gets colder i do believe i'll be doing needlework right beside you.

i'll be going to my d's tomorrow for an overnite, so i'm resting up for it here today.   i'm enjoying the fall flowers that are beginning to bloom - i see some wild asters, pink, white, and purple, and the mums that are getting closer to popping open.  ooooh, some dahlias - love all those colors.  they've always been one of my very favorite flowers, and i just learned lately that they are the national flower of mexico.  i guess i've had mexico in my blood all along.  right now, tho, i'm near my d, and it's right where i belong. 

asters in my hair as i rock and feel so warmly toward all of you.

[Elphanigh]

I am going to come join you here today. Definitely struggling. Can I just come sit next to you and admire the flowers San??
