Today was a day off from work. I just finished a seven and a half day stretch without time to breathe. What keeps me going is the idea that I only have to work there until next winter begins and we're off to where ever... Connecticut or Florida, whichever happens.. we just know this, we refuse to spend another winter here in Maine. So.. I feel like this kitty in the picture, pretty happy that the sun is shining and things are finally growing. The forest behind the house, had been so bare you could see through it for quite a distance, today I noticed its filling in with new vegetation, and the tree line has a blush to it, that is familiar to me here in New England. So today, I went outside, raked more old leaves, sprayed the base of the house for ants ( damn them!) and reconnected the garden hose. ( Oh god I hate climbing under this mobile home..god knows what lives underneath...) Anyway... also started to clean out the garage, we're going to yard sale alot of our stuff we don't plan to take with us. We also figured out that if our property doesn't sell, we can always keep it and use it for a summer retreat. So Jack and I discussed how we would winterize it, and what we would leave behind for furniture. Having that discussion was cathartic as it made us feel that we were making a progress toward moving back to a cultured society. So, its late afternoon, the sun is moving down toward the tree line behind the house, a hawk is circling the sky.. he better leave my Tiny Tim squirrel alone! Some birds are at the feeder, and all in all I feel pretty good about life today.., there is something to look at in the horizon! Happy May friends!!
