Quiet on Thursday

 

Peach Tree in January

The peach tree was pruned late last year, after it lost all its leaves.  Then, this week, M noticed that it had three flowers on a few of the higher branches!

Early Peach Flowers

It's too soon for the peach tree to flower!  Hopefully, the rest of the flowers will wait until March to bloom.

The winds were down and hopefully, they'll stay down over the weekend to give firefighters more time to contain the wildfires.  Some areas have had their evacuation orders lifted. But, at least one house that had escaped the Pacific Palisades fire was damaged due to a landslide, so, that's another threat to watch out for, especially when it rains.  

I spent a quiet day, doing minimal amounts of work on Thursday.  In fact, I fell asleep in my chair mid morning, after I had had my morning tea and said my prayers!  I guess I was tired.

We had leftover pizza for lunch and I cooked rice and ground turkey keema curry for dinner.  I added onions, tomatoes, grated carrot, diced potatoes, diced broccoli stalks, as well as the usual spices and coconut milk to the keema curry.  I was going to cut some cucumber slices as well, but, my hands started to cramp and I decided not to slice cucumbers, as well.  There's leftover rice and keema curry for Friday's dinner, and I will be able to slice a cucumber, then.

On Thursday, I was grateful for:

- The winds have quietened down
- A sunny day

- Mid-morning naps!
- Working appliances
- Some areas have had their evacuation orders lifted

Thursday's joyful activity was watching some online videos.  

Plans for Friday include finally taking down the Christmas tree and tending to the garden with M.
