Desso's

Today we say good-bye to Lil Desso, who ran Desso's General Store in Jericho, Vermont.

It is understood to be the longest continually-run store in Vermont and more, at about 200 years!
Lil was the heart of Desso's and the heart of this community.  

We all want to be more like her when we grow up.
Rest in Peace, Lillian Dorothy Cutting Desso. ♥

Rene's Bluebells 2012

I wanted to post these special memorial Bluebells that Thankful and I planted in my garden several years ago in memory of her darling brother Rene, because today I am headed to a memorial service for my friend Peter who died this week.  He too was a darling man, sweet and kind and much missed. 

May the souls of all we love rest in peace and ever bring wisdom to our hearts about what matters. ♥

We shooed this little fellow out of the road and onto the grass where its mother was calling loudly.
