Frick
Nearly a month has passed and I can barely wrap my head around the crushing pain and sorrow that constantly surrounds me. On August 29th, I lost my beloved Frick. He became sick suddenly and from the beginning, I was told there would be no good outcome. I'm not sure if it was my own ignorance or arrogance that made me think I could save him. Perhaps just denial as it happened so quickly; there was no time to prepare. A fast-growing, invasive and inoperable cancer caused a fluid build-up in his chest and abdomen, almost drowning him. I took an option of exploratory surgery - the one chance he had - to see if the tumor could be removed. It couldn't. I lost him.
Mab wanders the house looking for her brother and constantly jumps onto my dresser keeping a vigil by his photo and sniffing his little bunny rabbit toy. It is heartbreak compounded by endless heartbreak. The days sort of dissolve around my once happy little world - my world with my sibling felines, Queen Mab + Frick, always together and now torn apart.

12 years was simply not long enough. I love you, my little Fricklette.

Book Score #1
My intended summer cleanup and downsizing was more of a "replacing" one
group of things for another. I did clean out my books, taking many old
reference books and unread novels to a used bookstore that offers trade
and store credit. Two of these were only $1 each and filled with
beautiful illuminations and scenes of romanticized medieval life.

And Sew it Goes...

Another bag made in the winter - a design I'll likely repeat in another color scheme. |

Secret Gardens
Another movie I recently watched is The Secret Garden.
How did I forget how visually lovely and heart-warming this movie is?
And some recent photos from my own not-so-secret garden.
