friday's fringe 31 ~ leaf.bug.milo remembered.



BIG rain dappled autumn leaf outside a client's home


a Two-striped Walking Stick.
AKA: devil's darning needle, musk mare, prairie alligator
seen at side of house, by the hose spigot.


~oOo~

i've been meaning to post this.

for milo...


cindy from  Bug Safari   emailed this to me after 'milo' passed away.
she had this idea to do a 'Dia de Los Muertos' style picture with milo happily climbing a tree.
she drew this using Sketch Pad on her ipad.  
isn't it perfect?  (me = bones - skulls - nature.  milo = trees - outdoors)
i LOVE it!!
i've already printed it out...will hunt down a nice frame...and hang it on the wall!


and  ANOTHER
heartfelt THANKS to chris at  Las Aventuras
for adding milo to the  'All Souls Procession' he participated in...
reflecting, remembering & honoring those we have loved & lost.
i mailed him a favorite toy & feather that milo used to play with...
and chris ceremoniously added them to the urn.

thank you cindy and chris!!  
both sam & i are honored & humbled...to know that you' went out of your way...
in milo's name!


thanks for stopping by on

  7. Isn't that the coolest thing from blogland!!! It is remarkable ! My pooch received a beautiful fancy collar from blogland last year- people are so nice when you actually open up to them. LOVE the drawing, that looks like love to me! LOVE the bug as well. If I were a bug I would like to look that gorgeous.

  8. Funny how people used to name everything "The Devil's" ....fill in the blank. Although that big bug is kinda freaky, like a cross between a grasshopper and a dragon fly. Great pic from your blog friend to remember a fuzzy companion.

  9. Laura, what a pretty picture your friend drew...fabulous colors, and detail! It is nice to have Milo remembered so fondly, she was a wonderful part of your family life. Your walking stick is very unusual...I've seen quite a few of them, but never with stripes. And, oooh, the autumn leaf is a site for sore eyes. We have only a few trees turning right now in the Texas 'hotbox'!

    I love your photo of Milo, I know you still miss her even though you have a new baby. And, I know how you feel. I have some fun photos of a cat I rescued in 1974, who died in 1992, and, I'm grateful to have those memories. They're independent, but they're always there for you. Have a great weekend Laura!♥

  23. Laura, what a nice post! I love the painting! Chris told me he was going to add Milo to the urn. I would have gone with him but we were called away to my daughter's wedding that weekend. I do hope Milo is happily climbing trees in his new world! Chris is a good guy.

  24. Oh dear! Now I do feel terrible for having been absent so long that I missed Milo's passing...
    Your support system has shown up though, that I can see, and I am happy for you.
    Sending you lots of love energy. And cyber hugs, of course.
