It is a cold (36°F), but sunny morning. The willow branches are swaying gently in a northern breeze and there is not a cloud to be seen in the pale blue sky. Bruno is checking the perimeter of his yard and Puck is asleep in a chair in the other room. As the sun rises the shadow of a pergola moves down the side of Bruno's house like a horizontal ladder. I can hear no birdsong from inside my room, just the hum of the computer and the click of the keys. Our thanksgiving was quiet and wonderful. Kirsten, my daughter from Seattle is in town against all advise. Yesterday we zoomed for a while with 18 people in 4 states and 8 or 9 locations. It was fun. We didn't try to eat on zoom – just visited. Max and Ollie were there – looking cute – and according to their grandma, very smart also. Today we are having boiled shrimp, stuffed mushrooms, and home cooked hush puppies. Ahhhh. Hope you too had a Thanksgiving worth being thankful for...
May your weekend give you a chance to relax and digest, ePistliers.
