"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let the pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness."
— Kurt Vonnegut

So - last week - a surprise hydrangea bloom. The others had antiqued a while back. Maybe a reminder that we don’t have to bloom at the same time and things take time.

Rosie and some spring blooms from the yard. She’s such a great supervisor!

Flowers remind us that things will be ok and continue on. These daffodils are from bulbs my mom planted years ago that keep on blooming to brighten today. A day which is the first anniversary of her entrance into the church triumphant. May the best traits of her continue on and on.

I remember when the greatest national discourse and concern was the color of the president's suit color. I miss the good old days when Representatives, Senators, and Presidents followed the Constitution and our nations laws.

I took 30 mins and wrote my two senators and a rep. I wonder if it’ll change anything, but I’m glad to participate in the American experiment. You should too.

Be light and love y’all - everyday

Snowmageden 2024 begins. Rosie went for a winter walk but didn’t seem overly impressed.

Congratulations! We are all within hours of surviving 2024 & ready to face the challenges of the decade that will be 2025.

A bit more like Christmas everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving y’all! I am so thankful for those who offered light and love to me through the darkest year of my life. I’m glad to get to offer thanks to God for seeing me through the challenges this year! Now let’s eat and get ready to shop!

It’s yuletide season - at least on the camellias. Blooming flowers always remind me of the beauty in the world and that things continue on and will be ok.

Rosie. So you know you have the right me.
