In All Kinds of Weather

Several years ago, when Elbert was still in the early stages of Alheimers, we flew to Nebraska to see our son and daughter-in-law. Michael always loved to do projects with his Dad and usually had something around the place that needed fixing, building or moving.  Don't you just love to see a Dad and his children interacting that way?

During that visit Michael enlisted his Dad's help in building a fence along his backyard line. There are the two of them hard at work. At least Michael is, Dad is supervising. But, I have pictures to prove that the tables got turned after awhile and it was Dad doing the work and Michael overseeing the job. I think that they took turns.

Another angle showing the same fence, now weathered, under the fall of snow.
 
I was just looking at those pictures of the fences... summertime and winter and thought that our lives revolve around the seasons and the weather.

I hope all of you have a great week.

  1. Yes, indeed, there are seasons to all of our lives. Sometimes, it's sad to see changes, but there is usually something around the corner to balance it out. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

  2. Great post.... I know that you have so many great memories of your husband when he was alive and healthy... That's what life is all about: memories...

    Changes are getting ready to happen here.. It's been fairly warm --but a cold front is coming tomorrow and may even bring us some snow.... I would love that.

    Merry Christmas.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  7. It is strange how we take care of them when they are little, then they take care of us when we get old.
