I'm very sorry to hear that. Our prayers are with your daughter-in-law's family as well as yours.

We have two grandchildren staying with us while their mum and dad take care of arrangements following their recent loss. I offer my thanks to those who expressed their condolences.

Not bad on the cucamelons and we are still getting everbearing strawberries.

The amaranth plants at the front of the house (full sun) have grown tall but have only small flowers. The base of the main stalk on one of these plants is massive.

TD, I just now read about your daughter-in-law"s mother. I feel so bad for your DIL losing her mother so quickly and so young. It's wonderful that you and Mrs. can take care of the kiddies while the parents make arrangements.

Very sad new. Love and prayers to you and your family.

Thanks Mimi, sanderson and all who offered condolences. This has been a tough year with the loss of my own mother and now the loss of DIL's mother. But the cycle of life goes on as seen in compressed form in our gardens.
