Deb Lacativa asked for pix of our collection of her threads. Here’s mine.
It has been spring-like here and the garden has called me outside. Sanity.
But everything else feels not-so-sane and I am going to have dig deeper to find some sources of strength. Nothing dire. But noticeable.
I can’t believe it but Legos still appear in the yard!
Yeah, I get it.
It conflicts with spring, this mood.
Yeah…
I understand, even while embracing the good, the great…there is still the other. We had beautiful weather today. Nice for walking.
Amazing really about the Legos!
Deb’s threads make me smile every time I see them … and it’s endlessly good fun to pick and choose which threads to use
as for the not-so-sane in the world, I can’t help thinking we are a doomed species … an experiment in evolution gone horribly wrong … the Peter Principle comes to mind
how’s that for a total 180?
I understand the flip flopping. We are allowed. What’s the truer state I can’t help but wonder though: the static hollowed out sense of doom or the jittery hope scrabbling for purchase?
The Feels? An unshakeable belief in the power of decent people reaching out to one another in the smallest ways. Making ripples that will join to become tidal shifts that will leave the miserable disenfranchised in the dust of history.
We have skipped Spring almost completely. A string of mid 80s days is enough to make you forget about it and fret that the pool is still au naturel, that is, a swamp full of life. Froggy Spring Break is underway.
If nothing else, Legos have been a constant in my life for nearly forty years. When the boys were little and spewing them around 24/7, I rigged a restrictor inside the vacuum cleaner hose to keep them from oblivion. They continue to creep behind and under things still thanks to Charlie.
Kindness seems more important than ever but maybe that’s a silly assertion since it’s always been important.
