When my mom worked at DuBois Nursing Home, they would often see the shadow figure of an old man on the security camera in the front entrance area.  They would be sitting at the desk and all of a sudden, there he was.  He always appeared to be leaning against one of the walls of the entryway.  He would appear at different times of day and night and never in exactly the same place.  It was as if he was just hanging out there, waiting for someone to come pick him up or something.  

My cukes are doing really well so far. Tomato plants are getting huge and have big green tomatoes on them, none ripening yet though. My candy onions and spring onions are doing really well. My peas and beans weren't planted thick enough by my helpful grandfather and so aren't producing much. Zucchini and yellow squash are coming on strong. My pepper plants, both jalapeno and green, look sad.....

You have all my sympathy.  I still hurt sometimes from the loss of my first kitty "brother", Nate.  I know how hard it is to lose a member of your fur family.  I will never understand how anyone could say it is "just" a cat or a dog.  If you truly love and care for an animal, there is no way it cannot become a part of your loving family. 
 
Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family today as you send your loved one over the Rainbow Bridge.
