12/31: an even-er keel
This week has had some frustrations, anxieties, and sadnesses, but today was calmer. I am grateful that I got to spend time doing some of my favorite things--walking, reading, writing, designing pamphlets--and being with some of my favorite people--Chris and the cats. I also spent some time completing my end-of-year charity donations, and that felt good.
12/28: in the air, on the ground
In the morning I went flying with Chris. The white in the photo is shining water in the furrows of fields; the blue is the reflection of the sky.
In the later afternoon we walked at Woolly Hollow, with a pause at Gold Creek as the halfway point.
12/27: spotting
...the profile of a cedar waxwing while on my walk. They visited our yard for berries last week; today they were busy in a neighbor's yard.
12/26: a greeting
As I walked on the ridge this afternoon, I passed a neighbor who was walking with her two young grandchildren. My neighbor said, "Hello, Rebecca," and then the smaller of the boys also said, "Hello, Rebecca" in such a sweet way. He doesn't know me, but it was really clear that he wanted to be friendly so he echoed his grandmother.
12/25: experimenting
...with our holiday pierogi casserole. This year we added vegetarian "bacon," sauteed the onion and "bacon" together first, and used ditalini instead of egg noodles. It turned out really well.
12/24: semi-colons
I've been reading Lawrence Weinstein's Grammar for a Full Life, and (alas) I'm mostly finding it disappointing. But today I read what he wrote in praise of semi-colons, and I share in his enthusiasm.
