Sweetbrier continues to bloom...
Her one and only rose bush blooms in the spring only...
And her dogwood tree is filled with blossoms this year.

Revisiting the past
I've been cleaning out the attic the last few weeks and this is not an easy task:) Going through all the old papers, toys, and remembrances is like going back in time. I finally settled on assigning a box for each family member and when I find something that belongs to a particular person, I put it in their box. 
Then there are piles of toys, doll clothing, small misc items that if no one claims, will probably go in the trash.
Some china finds include some Homer Laughlin pieces.
A wine decanter from the 1960's.
And some pottery by Richard Kale (on the right) and his son.
