my happy visit to the ice pond

I am feeling the stress of coming back into busyness after the pandemic quiet year, along with the anxiety of not knowing how to plan the future or assess current risks.

We don’t have wild hedgehogs where I live, so as far as I’m concerned they’re mythical creatures. Of course I also think a lot of the animals who do live around here are full of stories and magic.

the vase spilled but there are plenty more flowers outside

I love staring at clouds. I really love master paintings of sky, water and clouds. This is not one of those! just a note-to-self about how at evening sometimes the clouds are brighter than the sky on one side, and darker on the other, as a herd of them ambles past.
