"Life is a Highway" the words jumped at me! No, it wasn't a song but a poem in  the opening of a  "Service in Celebration of the Life of …." a dear friend of mine. She had died December 15, 2014 .

Get CREATIVE to not just "get by" but ENJOY WINTER TOO! I am going to try working with something called "INTUOS" and next time I BLOG I hope to have more stuff on here about intuos! Right now it is just sort of gobbledegook to me.

A wonderfully warm day after a blustery windy night. Although everything was riffled up I don't believe anything flew away with the wind. I heard someone report on the different ground hogs 'in the know' about the upcoming weather and the reports were rather conflicting; one Groundhog figured it would be an early spring and another one thought it would be a later spring!

Friday, June 26, 2020... no time now... later.
