A View I Will Miss Dearly
While sitting on my patio,
the property's south view
is one of so many things I will miss.
Today the property was listed.
I have mixed feelings, mostly sadness.

The Royal Highness Wannabe,
Mr. "Everyone's out to get po' ol' me" Trump,
Mr. "Everyone's out to get po' ol' me" Trump,
was convicted on all 34 counts of
falsifying business records by
a jury of 12 New Yorkers, who
deliberated over two days to reach
a decision in a case rife with tawdriness:
descriptions of secret deals,
a porn star and a
bitter third wife,
and a devilish Oval Office pact
with echoes of Watergate.
Lordy,
can we please be done with this idiot
once and for all?

Where were you for the Eclipse?

| I was so excited to find an available appointment on the DMV website for April 8 at 2 pm! Well, duh-h-h, of course there was! Worried about traffic delays, I arrived an hour early for my DL renewal and enjoyed my Eclipse Tailgater in the DMV parking lot featuring a tray of sushi and green tea from my local HEB. Got a good laugh from the DMV clerk when putting on my eclipse glasses for the eye exam. Hope you enjoyed the Eclipse! |

| I like reading out on my back patio. Arne insists he should sit in my lap. It's been a struggle getting him to sit, instead, on the adjacent chair. He does so now, but this is the look I have to endure. |

BABY CHICKS ARRIVE
BABY CHICKS ARRIVE
Always a delightful harbinger of Spring / Easter being near - the arrival of the baby chicks at my local feed store. My aunt and uncle and their children have operated Granger Feed & Supply for many years and keep on hand a bit of everything.
Ya'll pay 'em a visit - it's so important we support our local, family-owned businesses!

WINTER RAINS ARRIVE |

I get ecstatic
when the winter rains come.
January 21 -23 I received 4.5 inches! Yay!
Had I the (br-r-r-r) balls,
I would have jumped in to celebrate with
my dog Arne [shown in pic of the month].
Oh, wait...he's the one missing the...

A second pet photo this month -
rains paused,
and out came Ralph, my Rooster.

I was pleasantly surprised by the length
his tail feather has grown this winter.
I measured it. Almost 2 feet in length!
Go Ralph!

REMEMBERING MOM
REMEMBERING MOM
First Christmas without Mom was an inner struggle. She always loved this holiday so much. We always enjoyed pulling all the crates of decorations out each year and decorating together. Her favorite color was red and so I decided to go all out on a new tree on my front patio -- done in bright, bright red. Just for you, Mom!
I liked this photo because it includes her brass bell with etched angels and, in the distance, our neighbor's cross lights up the horizon.

THE POWER OF WOMEN...in Ohio!

I chose this pic because it is November - and we're 1 year away from an election.
I chose this pic because it is a reminder of what women in this nation lost thanks to our Trump-packed Court.
I chose this pic because it proclaims what women united can accomplish --
and they did it, and this is relevant, in Ohio!
and they did it, and this is relevant, in Ohio!
I chose this pic because I believe the only thing that can prevent further harmful rollbacks by our Trump-packed Court, or a prolonging of the Circus that is our GOP-controlled House, or - God forbid - Trump returning to the White House ...
is enlightened women.
Please ladies, get out your vote in '24!

Grief in Gaza

I watched the video clips from the Bar Be'eri Kibbutz on Oct. 7, 2023 that captured Hamas terrorists taking over the guard house, ambushing and killing unsuspecting Israeli citizens waiting for the gate to open and then rushing in to commit more slayings. Such brutality.
Now I watch the retribution in Gaza. Really, Israel?
Is it allowed that I grieve for both sides?
Am I allowed to grieve and be angry at the same time?

Story:
You'll note Chad's car in my driveway.
He and Dwight had come out on the day after my hernia surgery
to check on me and they brought dinner with them - -
delicious Indian fare from Sitara.
After we ate and visited for awhile,
it was past due time for me to have another walk
and they kindly accompanied me.
We stepped outside and discovered
a magnificent sky over Circleville.
We used an app on Dwight's phone to
identify the bright stars in the constellations above.

on our descent we were treated to
the Saturday evening fireworks show
at the Sweet Eats Fruit Farm
that lies west of my location.
