Thinking back

 

Thinking back to one year ago.  It was our third day in Carrabelle and it was the first time I recalled being awakened by the crow of a rooster at about 5 in the morning.  That sound did not bother me and on succeeding days, I looked forward to it.

Harry's hoses were even perfect unlike my tangled mess.

In one of my classic moves yesterday, I bashed my head on a shelf ringing my chimes and putting a nice hole in my scalp.  Felt stupid.  My talents are falling short in tool work. Lack of vision, balance and reduced dexterity all play a role.  Also, really out of practice.   

We have a blue skies morning today.  The sun is shining in Berkley

all for now

stay safe
