My sister-in-law has a lovely little home in a close-knit neighborhood. Everyone has come over to say hello and they’ve brought enough food to feed an army. One neighbor even cut the grass for her without asking or any fuss about it. That’s one of the nice things about living in a small town – you get a lot of support from friends and neighbors when you have bad things happen in your life.

The florist has brought flowers and plants to her home and also to the funeral home. I’m not sure what I can do to help, but hubby is really glad to be here.

Even though she’s technically living “in town” her property backs up to a huge farm. Here’s a picture I snapped from her backyard as the sun was going down:
