That was then, this is now


Such pleasant memories!  A year ago at this time I was in Winterset, Iowa, thoroughly enjoying myself.  We were driving across the country and looking forward to meeting new granddaughter Rhiannon in Boston very soon afterward.

It's not likely we'll get to see her this year.  I'm soooo grateful for technology that permits us to "visit" her from here!  The world is so very strange now.  The epidemic, the economy,  and the upcoming election are all making life extremely confusing, and I'm not confident that things will improve much any time soon.  I worry a lot these days.

I'm going to spend some time working in the garden this morning, to soothe my soul.  Gardening always feels hopeful, because it looks ahead to the next season, to change.  Maybe it'll help my spirit today.  Sigh.
