Yesterday, we spent some time reading together a chapter from  a very good book about end-of-life issues. Delycia took the initiative to get us over to the LaGrua Center last week for a lecture on this important topic by a retired physician, and she purchased his book and has been reading it - studying it, actually - ever since. Yesterday, we sat together in the sunny sunroom and read and talked about some very important pages. I think we both felt like we are traveling together, and happily so, on this end-of-life journey (as everyone is, really). 


Today we read another very informative chapter in the book, me sitting in the lazy boy beside the big, bright window and Cia lying comfortably on the couch. Strange, how pleasant it is to read about preparing for death with my loved one. 

Leaves are floating everywhere, 

and some trees are shining 

like enormous bushes of flames. 

This afternoon, we drove down to my favorite apple store, Holmberg Orchards, to pick up yet another batch of delicious russet  apples. Until a few years ago, I had never tasted a russet, but now they are my very favorite apple - so sweet and chunky and rich.
