Slow on the go for this week

There’s nothing like a situation where the fix is known, and nothing is done, to ruin your day. You are told what the problem is and what to do. That is information clear and precise. To make it more stressful, you didn’t insist to the people responsible for the repair, make it happen. Hoping it is going to stop, get back yo normal, is understandable.

So, on day 4, I’m taking a much needed rest from the stress by doing much of nothing all day and into the week. 

The leftover stew is good. 

Need to see flowers

When the carrots are calling

Loving the wind, a favorite Earth action, it amazed me when taking geology courses at UVM, to learn how very important wind is to Earth’s systems. It is a fascination of mine to think the wind carries dust over the Atlantic ocean from the Sahara desert to land America, (mostly to the south). (Link below)

How we anchor ourselves in relation to the world around us and our place within our community, our family, our relationships has always been fascinating to me. Methinks, Saint-Exupery’s book, The Little Prince, sitting on the globe of Earth is where that intrigue began. Since I posted online about the book in early 2000, I’ve read online others also have that fascination from the book’s illustration. 

Dust carries. We carry. From our shared experiences, efforts, ideas, inspiration there are connection systems between us similar to how Earth operates. AI has no soul to develop connections like we do. 

Right now, I should be chopping vegetables for stew. Instead, I’m finishing up this blog post. Like the rain, I need to stop. There’s carrots calling me.

Day 66 of Week 10 March 2026

The sound of wind when it rains is not the same when it snows. Wind and rain make more noise. The vent cover outlet rattling 

is louder, more determined. 

Snow is softer than rain. Strange to think about the rain, snow and wind sound relationships. What else in nature is there that we don’t think about?

Have a Thinking Weekend

Have baked apples with vanilla 

or maple walnut ice cream

Read about Earth’s water cycle

Watch a funny movie

Browse raincoats online

Draw a fancy umbrella

Dance when you wash your hands

Finding the good answer

How much of what we are accustomed to doing is being transformed into something else?

My journey with the search assist was no way I will use AI to I like using it all the time. It scans the Internet in seconds to create a comprehensive answer. I use to do that in several minutes to several hours of research. 

Trivia: Search assist has no answer for: comprehensive answer.  

So what’s next? 

There’s beautiful sunlight to read by.

However, I need to clean my fridge. I will feel better when it is finished.  But, there is sunshine to read by. I’ll clean the fridge.* I know there’s banana bread in the freezer. No AI needed for that answer. 

A March Sun Rising

* Started fridge task. Was distracted by must take care if it plumbing issue. Had to deal with that. End up on the Internet while waiting

Now it is dinner time. 🥴

March 2026 Lunar Eclipse

Awake already, I braved the cold to take photographs of the Lunar Eclipse this morning. I had to go inside to warm up. I wore my quilted vest over my puffer coat when I went back outside. 

Trees were in the way. As the Earth turns, the Moon went into the horizon at the fullest part of the eclipse. Darkened, the Moon might have been partly visible, but not to me or my camera. It is fortunate the eclipse happened during the full Blood Moon. 

Here are two of the best pictures I captured. The first is just before the full eclipse and very close to the horizon. The 2nd photo is the eclipse just about half way. The images are taken using my iPhone 17 Pro to my camera screen. The last image is taken using my iphone.
