into the fog that enrobes our woods in the mornings - that is what time does - and that is why I am 10 days since last post. Time actually got "squeezed" by the ever demanding "to do" list. In the mornings, however, the fog is there and it slips around the trees, leaving some parts revealed and some parts shrouded and imperceptible. Our temperatures overnight are in the 60s and the lack of humidity makes everything here so pleasant. About to add to the orchard of the future with some "tall" blueberry bushes and blackberries too, I hope. Then wait and nurture and wait some more before we get jams and sweet breads - yummmmm.
It is kind of like that with kids - we have waited, watched and nurtured and now youngest heads off to college. Next week will be crazy busy and we will venture back into the heat and humidity to move him to college - the next step of his journey. It will be hectic and it will fly by - as has his youth and that of our other children. Seems like yesterday that they were just babies....
Speaking of babies, my precious pink baby passed away yesterday - or at least suffered a fatal blow. Her vid-something is messed up and so, I will be receiving a new one in 2-3 weeks. Disposable society. Everything can be replaced. I really liked her. She went most places with me - used her a lot in her short life. I can't even save her skin - I will have to order a new one for the new baby. I will have to use Jeff's in the interim to get by. Just a bump in the road - she is replaceable. But people are not. So should be glad it is just a machine I personified and not one of my true loved ones. Puts a damper on getting photos done.....oh well... now to journey out into the cool morning fog.....
