Early Spring Thoughts

For the second day in a row, I can open windows and doors and let the warm air in, as opposed to turning on heat. Our next-door neighbors are industriously planting gorgeous, bright flowers for us to enjoy as well. I hope we don’t lose them anytime soon; they love to garden. My joints don’t like that kind of work… click here to continue

Visit From a Friend

My Word Office Assistant is pouting today and wouldn’t offer any date, even the wrong one. I just chuckle.

Yesterday I had a fun visit with the sister of my former companion with whom I traveled to many corners of the world in a three or four year period. She brought me up to date on his life… click here to continue

Great Birthday

I had a wonderful birthday today—in fact it was a whole birthday weekend. I have been behind on sleep the last few weeks. Before and after the cataract surgery, I’ve had insomnia, a new experience for me. Most of my life I had to hurry to get to bed before I fell asleep.

Full Moon

Tonight a bright full moon promises cold temperatures, but if it can hang in, the snow should pass us by.

Our April weather this year reminds me of a verse I wrote a few years back, when Spring and Winter fought for control. I wrote this on April 10, 2001:
