The only thing good about my trip to the dentist were the Dogwoods in bloom.
Pink and white blossoms everywhere, and this year the blossoms are heavy in the trees.
They remind me of trips to visit Mimi and Pa on the ranch in California, especially if we took side trips into the woods to visit a creek or friend in spring. The dogwoods nestled back within about 25 feet of the rd dirt roads, and their bright blossoms cheered even the worst days

Memories are good Kate. I find I am turning toward the past more these days as a source of comfort. I fear I may not live long enough now to find joy in new memories as the world grows bleak. I have great sorrow for my sons and grandsons.

I understand. I find comfort in staying present for Mitchell and my critters, and artwork, now that i am finally making it again. This regime took it out of me as I sat in horror for too long. Fortunately I had a group of artists who bucked me up (then I was banned from Instagram for god-knows-why for SIX months.)
Because I don’t have kids I can only grieve for the generations of those I don’t know… And I do. AND, I pray that Mitchell’s vision is correct, that there will be a somethingness hat steps forth, because I can’t stop this mess. I can vote, and protest, and give towards those protesting, and that is all.
I am concerned — about you saying you may not live long enough (BTW you guys have been on our prayer altar). You are younger than I am. Are you sick? Write me privately. Huggs.
