15 yrs. ago. I stood frozen in front of my tv as I assume millions of others did. I had been very excited because as I was living in Mi. My mother and step-father were driving down for DS upcoming birthday from Fl.. My pleasure turned to worry very quickly. There was no way to find out if they were ok . I stood there for hours, watching over and over til I felt the warm embrace of my dear mother wrap her arms around me .It was then I broke down and cried. A horrible day in history. I guess there has been worse but not in my time. Not through my eyes. Every year that passes brings all that back to me. And I cry again. And again I feel my moms embrace.

I have been up most of this night. I drifted off a little after 4am just to wake to pitch blackness at 5:00. The house was still, no light or sound to be had. We had lost electricity and everyone I hoped was sleeping sound. Something you may not know about Granny, she is afraid of the dark. Yup, big bad granny ,askeered of the boogy man. LOL As I laid there in that hateful bed that I had fought against all night and robbing me of my rest I imagined all sort of things going bump in the night. And then I felt it. My mothers warm embrace and I wasnt so afraid anymore. I made my way to the door and headed to the kitchen where I knew my flashlight would be waiting on me and what a site I found. My husband, with every flashlight ,candle and oil lamp we own sitting on the table, waiting for me.
Sometimes, too much is just right. .

Mornings all.

You may not...probably won't believe this, but I do my best work in the dark; just go by feel

clay here too but its worse then clay. cant dig it dry, have to wet it or dig after rain. I dont have any organic in my dirt. Its like concrete ! Been 10 yrs. trying to improve the soil. grass clipping, chicken doo-doo , coffee grounds. Its still aweful. I used to go through 2 shovels a year !
