Garden gathering

I was privileged to spend a few hours today with Kendall and Sue at Sue’s home and out in her garden. We visited surrounded by the most awesome large Ginkgo tree , clematises, huge fig tree , roses , dahlias, many clay and pottery masks , colorful stepping stones—— a treasure trove of love and creativity plus a lovely array of fruits and a lemon drizzle cake made by Sue. All the plants were grown and nurtured over the years by Sue Kendall told me .
We had all met a few years back with Nanna K in Seattle, but today we shared more about ourselves as well as the very worrisome current political state we are in . I think we’ll have lots more to say on that topic ! I Am , as they both are , appalled at the recent fascist rally witnessed by Kendall in Portland pioneer square . All three of us have grandchildren and we so worry about the planet we are going to be leaving them. At the same time , we are running out of time and personal strength to fight the good fight and know it’s time to pass the torch on .
In this is the lovely centerfold staring Sue and Kendal surrounded by a few masks and clematis of Sue’s . Thank you both for sharing the intimacy of this special artistic nurturing garden with me as well as your conversation which fed my soul.
Be well and be self nurturing … and you are so close to me now in my new world!
I will celebrate you both tonight!
