I agree with you, Raph. I grew up with enough criticism to last me a lifetime. Now it stings for a moment, and then I turn and walk away.

I have a pair of Eastern phoebes nesting under the structure I had built to protect the generator from snow sliding off the roof (obviously a clever couple). I hear them calling to one another early each morning even before itโ€™s light.

Good afternoon, Mom. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Do you mean psychologically prepared or somehow prepared in other ways?

Happy day, Jen.

A poem for you, Jen.

I found his โ€œA Song on the End of the World,โ€ which isnโ€™t the poem youโ€™ve referenced here, but perhaps the overarching theme is the same(?)

It was certainly wise of you to put in the irrigation system.

In some ways itโ€™s dated, but the universal truths come through. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Itโ€™s all usually covered in snow. May it ever be so! ๐Ÿค

Lots and lots of granite here, thatโ€™s for sure. If I recall correctly, you have some lovely red rocks there. ๐Ÿ˜Š

If need be, Iโ€™ll do the same, Jen. So far my experience with argumentative types is that they move on if I refuse to engage further.

Another heartbreak to add to so many others these days.

It made me laugh when I saw it, so I thought it might do the same for others. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Have you ever read Anne Morrow Lindberghโ€™s Gift from the Sea, amy? She uses shells rather than fossils as metaphors for life circumstances, but you might enjoy it.

I said what I had to say about this meme.

This is a thought-provoking excerpt, Victoria. Iโ€™m going to look for the poem.

I often think the same thing. Iโ€™m looking forward to seeing some photos of your veggie gardens.

Itโ€™s just this side of โ€œrewildedโ€โ€” not an English garden by any means.
comment in response to post
I am! ๐Ÿค— When I was deciding what to plant, I had three main criteria: plenty to attract and satisfy a variety of pollinators; flowers that would bloom in May, others in June, and so forth through Augustโ€”by which time the trees would begin changing color; many delicious shapes, sizes, and hues.
