HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a good week.
I am home from Indianapolis. On the morning of January 1, my friend and I saw a powerful, large hawk sitting in a tree on her property. It must have been a female. As we watched, she slowly took flight. My friend and I considered the sighting a good sign, since we saw her on the first day of the new year.
Hugs to all of you!
Rusty - You must be a nice and a popular person to be chatted to so extensively! How lovely to spend a morning like that. Only the other day, I was thinking that I so rarely meet old friends in the shops here, now. Some have moved away, some have sadly, died, some have just disappeared. I used to meet other "mums" who we had 1st met at the school gates when our children were small. Or old neighbours or friends from way back. But it's getting rarer that I have a good old chat. Annette - Yes, the gentleman who died (I describe him thus because he was, indeed a gentleman) was very involved in the sports world and taught in a public school - hundreds of people had benefitted from his knowledge, experience, encouragement and wisdom. He'd lived to mid 80s so it was as you say, a long life, well lived.
My OH has been unusually tired. He is daily frustrated by finding that he can't do as much as he used to, now he is ageing, but although we have a conversation at least twice a year about his giving up the allotment, I always have to end up saying that he must go on doing what he does as long as he feels able, and can enjoy it. He is growing things there far less now, to make it less work. We did not have our own sprouts for Christmas this time!
Rusty - No, no problems posting this time. The Day just seems to keep getting away from me!
