Mrs. T is 97 years old. She tells everyone she's 100. We all just let it go now. If she wants to be 100, then 100 she shall be.
And this is what she does when she goes outside for a walk. She cannot just go out and enjoy the beauty of her yard. She has to work. She has always taken care of her almost 3 acre yard. It's called Azalea Hill. There must be over a hundred azaleas here. Her mother started planting them, then she added a lot more. It's beautiful in the spring. She used to have garden tours and garden parties. People come to take pictures. It's just amazing, this yard.
And when she would go out before, when she could go out and walk alone, she would always have an armload of sticks to take to her ever growing brush pile. She was always working, while walking.
So this is what she does now. I had wheeled her out to her "formal" garden, with this bench at the end for her to sit and enjoy the beautiful fall colors. Then ram inside real quick to grab my camera. This is what I saw when I came back. She had reached down and got a stick and was raking the leaves at her feet. Typical mrs. T. Even though she can't really walk too good anymore, she can still do this.
I had to call her name several times to get her to look up. She's so beautiful. Just so photogenic. I love this lady.

In the mail...
I had ordered some things from Jeff and Taryn at Wooly Moss Roots last Sunday from their Etsy shops. And I got them Thursday.
I ordered the hand made wooden earrings with beets on them for a friend. Jeff made these. They are so cute. I just might have to keep them.
He also makes these wooden buttons from reclaimed wood from around their property in Oregon. They are all hand done. I love them.
Also some organic seeds. Mullein, stinging nettle, cat nip and kale. And there are a whole lotta seeds in those little envelopes. I think I will have to share the mullein seeds.
Thank you Jeff and Taryn Wilson! Y'all need to go check out her blog too. woolymossroots. I love it. And her Etsy shop of the same name. Jeff's shop is Mystic Orb. Really nice things there.
