It is almost a proverb that Thou Shalt Not Make Big Decisions During a Big Loss (or grieving a big loss.) The Covid-19 virus has placed all of us in a “big loss.” So, this is the time for staying home and taking in information about this huge change and only making small changes, if at all possible.
So, my efforts are local and my posts are about small changes. Here goes:
And then into masks.
In the past, I have worked on these larger projects while beloved son, Mike, was out of town working at his dad’s farm. But he has secured a local job at a local grocery and is home every evening. (Yay!!!) So this is my workaround to letting him know what floor space I am working on and that is “foots off.”
And here are just a few random photos from my walks in Forest Park this past week.
Can you see the purple Iris on the bank on the right?
Must remind you all–this is in the middle of a big city (think of Central Park in NY.)
So my beloved readers- Stay safe. Take care of your immediate physical needs. Begin to think about what we all will want in the new world that is evoling. Do Not make big changes just yet.
And if you have lost a person or something else that is precious to you: Rest. And grieve. And rest. What ever that means for you. Rest. And Grieve. And Rest.

The mustache mask is adorable. Love the turtles. The river where I walk had 2 families of turtles until a flood 3 years ago raised the river nearly 6 feet. When the flood water subsided, the turtles were gone. I used to check on them every time I walked there.
Reality check: I had a severe sinus infection with blockage last week; when the antibiotics finally kicked in, the discharge looked more like effluvia from an oil change than anything expected to issue from a human – it was startling!! So now, I’m so grateful just not to be dealing with that horror show that my cabin fever has disappeared. (“You never know when you’re having good luck.”)
Stay well. ❤

Oh, Lou- I am glad you are on the mend. And I like to think “your” turtles floated down stream and are now inspiring another human family downstream. Be well, my friend.

Aren’t turtles great? They’re so elegant in the water and so, uh, turtle-waddle-cute on land. We get a lot around here. I guess it’s because there’s a creek at the bottom of the hill.

I played with many a box turtle as a child. These appear to be snapping turtles, who are best admired from a distance. But yeah, they are great!
