Hello 2025
A texture of events greets us this new year with more sorrow than happiness. The wildfires in California are heart breaking in ways that cast shadows over what joy we may feel. Prayers and help are much needed.
The weather in New England is typical of the Northeastern United States. While there has not been very deep snow out my door, I expect Old Man Winter will have a few snowstorms to spare for here.
My focus is to stay in the house as much as possible. It is a challenge to see how many trips to the store I don't have to make.
The blog breaks I've been taking have been restful. I haven't been taking many photos, celebrating the holidays much, writing, painting or going out and about visiting places. Excitement is on the level of finding an unopened bottle of blackberry brandy tucked in the corner of a lower cabinet and fixing a few technical computer issues on my own. Oh, and putting effort into knowing what day it is in case the trunk of the car hits me on the head really hard, and I have to tell somebody what day it is. (They always ask.) The trunk slowly lowers after I lift it up. It's an ongoing learning process for me to get out of the way in time. A Funny. I was kneeling on the ground to access the back of the driver's seat floor where my key blade fell. Neighbors only saw my boots and butt sticking out of my vehicle. Thinking I fell, they were approaching and shouting out asking me if I was all right. At first I had no idea what they appeared so alarmed. We laughed. 😂
