This Week

Humming Bird on the Pomegranate Tree

This week is going by quite quickly it seems.  We have had more high winds, more wildfires, and now, there is rain in the forecast and with it, the threat of mud slides and toxic debris flows in the burn areas.  However, we've had a couple of days with the daytime highs being in the mid to upper 70s (it was 75F on Wednesday and 78F on Thursday), which felt wonderful to me.  Of course, the peach tree responded by opening a few more flowers!  

I have been spending my days tending to things around the house, cleaning, cooking, and mending another pair of wool socks.  I went as far as getting out my knitting needles and my favorite sock knitting pattern, but, I haven't actually sat down to knit.  

Plans for Friday include taking Dancer for his vet appointment in the early afternoon and tending to the garden with M in the evening.

This week, I am grateful for:

- No new fires threatening my home
- I was able to postpone my jury service
- Working appliances
- Having electricity and gas
- M's help with the garden

Joyful activities have included watching music videos, phone calls and emails with friends, tending to the garden, spending time with my daughter.

How is your week coming along?
