The only one that is focused in this house is Boo

 

 I had to move my oxalis plant off of the cabinet

so he could get a catbird seat view

 

Why just look at that little sparrow...braving the window sill

 

Boo jumped and all the birds flew away

 

but they'll be back

 

It has been snowing for hours now

 

.....I am at my wits end with this winter

 

truly, I know we are all mostly in this same boat

 

but what happens to US is the most important

 

I can't seem to stay focused on anything but the weather

 

Friends call to bitch about it

 

and I listen sort of......

 

I have been making use of my time served

 

to clean out closets....but that is really a dangerous thing to do

 

I found a letter from 1969 from my brother

 

talking about how afraid and nervous he was to go to Viet Nam

 

He made it through Nam but died months after returning home

 

in a car accident.........but really  another victim of the war

 

I found colorings from my children when they were preschoolers

 

and old pictures....was I really that thin and cute? I wish I would have known that then

 

I spent my whole adult life feeling underordinary

 

It wasn't until I turned fifty and joined a bunch of crazy women

 

that I really found out who I was.....and I have enjoyed her ever since

 

It is hard to prune one's life of old clutter.....but I think there comes a time

when it is a must

So being in the mood I have been lately

 

I dived in

showing no mercy

 

closets should be cleaned and sorted by

dare I say...SPRINGGGGGGGGGG!
