A beautiful morning here this week. This was the view on my way home from having breakfast Friday morning with a group from the coffee shop. I had just finished a pecan waffle with strawberries on top and a touch of whipped cream. Very nice.
Saturday I went back to pulling pages from old journals. Several things to toss out, some to save. I also went back to doing some copying of writings found in last week’s Nick Cave journal.
Here is one for fun….
My Feet
The right foot:
Always in the lead
Taps to music
Can’t wait to put its shoe on
Must be first
Controls all pedals
on the car floor
sewing machine
foot-levered waste basket
Whatever!
It is there to be counted on.
But the left!
Just a follower
And slow at that!
Clumsy on the dance floor
Uncertain where to step next
Every stumble is likely its fault
And just guess which was the first to get a bunion!
My fortune cookie prophecy this week…
“Embrace the rhythm of life, and dance to your own unique song.”
Seems like a good idea to me.
This afternoon I head over to a neighbor’s house to drink champagne….another good idea.
Amy, Patrick and Marla arrive tomorrow. I need to make a soup for when they get in exhausted from the drive and probably one another’s company. 10-12 hours on the highway is an adventure that I no longer take. It wears me out thinking about it. I do tell them that they are free to skip coming down to see me in person. We have Zoom type calls twice a week, so they can check up on me that way. And already some neighbors have made sure I won’t be alone for Christmas and am welcome to come spend the day with them if I am alone. Such good neighbors!
I wish there was more news, more happening in my life right now, but the quiet is good. Lots of time to write and next, get back to drawing in my books. I miss concentrating on making drawings of the things I find interesting to look at. I need to do a drawing for a neighbor. She asked for something quite simple and she has the nicest smile…I could not say “no”. First thing tomorrow I will get it done.
There are no other pictures this week…just Dilly having a bad hair day.
More next week after Christmas when company is making their way back to the cold north.
Til then….
