another beginning

Writing on the blog again feels like starting over.

My aunt Sandra passed away a week and a half ago. The funeral was Friday. 

On Saturday, we went cross country skiing. We skied for three hours! I bruised my elbow in a fall. Then we went to see more family.

On Sunday morning, I left my aunt Ellen's house with two very nice plants from the funeral. It is my job to take care of them now. 

On Sunday afternoon, I came home to find that my lemon tree is making new little leaves. In October or so, it lost all of its leaves but two. Then it put out about a hundred blossoms. There is one left today. And now, it's making leaves again. 

And the lime tree has four tiny limes just starting to grow. Hooray!

Pictures to come. Perhaps.
