Perseverance

The rover Perseverance just landed on Mars.  If mankind can land on Mars imagine what we could do if we aimed for peace on Earth.

Time to bloom!

This clematis is "supposed" to bloom in the spring. This one and only flower is blooming in December. Nature has a way of letting us know when the time is right for an action or decision. I've realized that if I'm having a hard time with a decision then it's not the right time to make it. Getting older sort of makes me feel young again when I say "No, I don't feel like it." So I don't need a reason and I don't need to explain. I just don't feel like it, I may never feel like it, or I may feel like it on Tuesday. Ah, wisdom.

My niece brought her baby to me. I remember holding her as a baby so it was very joyful when she put him in my arms. At one point we were under the umbrella and I put my knees up so I could rest him on them facing me and talk to him. He started to squawk. So I turned him around so he could see all the trees and he was quietly looking all around. This is me talking to him and telling him all about the big wide world. There were other pictures but this one is my favorite.  It is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
