Driving home from Sunderland I passed many cows today.  The oreo cows have their winter coats still all fluffy and long.  They all looked pretty happy to be outside today.  It was  warmer and the drizzle hadn't started.
Around 5:30 Clara and I went for a drive to Conway searching for either heron or lynx.  When we got there we drove into a snow storm with big wet flakes.  There were deer, hawk, black ducks, geese  and crows, but no heron nor lynx, not even a bear.    After an hours ride we went and got a little dinner at the Coop hot bar and caught up with old community friends.  I love eating there on evenings when it feels like my kitchen but no work and some friends around.

Tomorrow I meet the Cardiologist.  I feel like I'm entering into a new phase of the medical journey. 
I did take some photos today, but I haven't downloaded them, yet.  I'll do it tomorrow and write more about the new road.  I also will edit my poem that I want to post tomorrow.  
Sleep well, everyone.

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.
