Almost the end of this chapter/season
Howdy friends! It's almost time for me to say "Bye for now" or "Until next time" or some other valediction. That's a new vocabulary word for me, and it means a farewell or a goodbye and it's the opposite of a salutation or greeting. The season of autumn is coming to a close, and so is the season of my time of living in Anchorage, Alaska. These geraniums at the end of my driveway are quite quite old; I have kept them alive in our garage during the cold winter months and have brought them back outside every spring to beautify our neighborhood for a few years now. I have even cut off the tops of these plants and put them in vases of water so that they could grow roots & become brand new plants to share with friends...and I still have the original plants to enjoy! That is how I feel about moving to Maine on this grey autumn day--I have so many "original" friends here in Alaska that I will keep as my friends forever, and now I will nurture NEW friendships in Maine, too!
My last visit with my old friends in the West Romig library will be Thursday morning October 15th, and on Friday evening I will fly on an airplane with my husband and our elderly cat to Maine. So until my next post:
Keep reading, and whenever possible--be kind! ~~Mrs. Hobbs
