Happy Birthday, Billie Mae!!
I love you so much


Within a month I have lost two men whom I loved deeply.  Both men were important friends, important people that helped mold my life.  There is something similiar to paralysis that happens when you lose someone you love that much.  Tom's passing was expected, nonetheless, so terribly sad.  I will miss him so much.  RIP.


I am a legal owner of a Honda CRV.  I love it.  All the paperwork is complete.  I thank everyone who donated and participated in the project of getting Lindy mobile again.   You have no idea.  And it is proof that it's not only in raising a child that we need a village.  

I took a ride to the rookery this afternoon.

It was full of prints.  It was gentle up there today, all of those shadows along that white snow, all of those deer paths and otter paths, and who knows what else, paths.  Gorgeous!



Jo picked me up at 5 and we went down to East Longmeadow where she was giving a reading.  It was delightful  It was a little quirky, a little soft, a little edgy.  It was loving, humorous and a few sharp stabs.  It was about love.   It took us out of the day and let us remember a lot while we heard her story.  I'm quite glad I went.   


And tomorrow I will find something else to bring me beauty.  Oh, sweet dreams, friends.

March 20, 2026 Happy Happy Birthday, Clara Witty! Happy Spring.  Oh yes, we're ready for it. The difference between the rookery today and yesterday was big.  I was hoping a photo from each day would show the difference, but it doesn't.  There was much more open space today, but it showed mud not running water.  The running water continues in this stream across the whole thing.   So last night I did begin to think about starting a thread about preparing for death.  In our society that's such a negative statement, but in reality its positive.  Learning to talk about this stage of life, the stage I have just entered is healthy and helpful.   What has brought all this up for me is that I went through a series of tests looking for the cause of the pain I am in and the results are frightening.  They are not immediate, but they show the beginning of the deterioration of my body.  We're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but I had ...

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.
