Perspective

I just got home from the grocery store. I drove there in my own car. I walked, unassisted into the store. I had an array of healthy foods from which to choose. I chatted with a neighbor I saw there. I paid for my groceries without worrying if I had the money or not. Then I drove to my home with big trees, water in lakes, and a yard that is prettier every year. So when I thought "I have to go to the store" what I really should of said is "How blessed I am to be able to go to the store". Perspective is everything. Oh, those are mushrooms in the picture that grow on an old tree stump out back. I don't eat those!

I Can See Clearly Now

These are my new glasses. They are a nice navy blue and truly spiffy. I can see far and near. They turn dark in the sunlight. But dang it now I can see all the sun spots on my arms, all the dust on the car steering wheel, and the wrinkles on my neck.  I guess there are always trade offs.  I like them.

My Greenhouse

This is the greenhouse that Bert built. I remember coming home from work and Bert was in the backyard building my greenhouse. It was a beautiful afternoon, he had music playing, and was having a great time. He was happy. Thank you Bert for the good memory. I think of you everyday. Bert Snelling was killed in a mass shooting in Virginia Beach on May 31, 2019.
