Some filler as we begin 2021. Another lovely snow pic from PA.
Hope everyone had a good New Year's weekend - safe, no hugs, no parties
And this is SO SO True in Texas. You can sit on the patio without smelling like Off Bug Spray (as long as that darn brisk North Wind from Oklahoma isn't blowing across the border).
You know what - 2021 looks the same to me. I always think it should be like awakening in OZ - a new technicolor life. But back to work, still wearing masks, should start a diet. Hey, Ray's retired - that's new.

Let's continue our writing fun, chats, and creativity - thank you blog land friends.
That's cool Ray is retired.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true about the mosquitoes.
yes, it's cool for Ray. But now he's snoozing in bed and I'm off to work at 7 am.
DeleteNew Year is like your birthday when you're a kid - you expect to feel different but you still have to go to school and do your chores.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of snow x
exactly. I turned the page of the calendar and meh - all the same and way more blank this year. No plans really...and I find that sad.
DeleteI go to poetry and my friends too. Yes! to writing fun and creativity.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!
thanks. Virginia summed it up pretty well. Right now I'm more about friends, but some creativity is festering...something has to give in this ridiculous brain of mine.
DeleteHi Joanne - I actually swatted a mozzie on New Year's Day?! We don't get that many thankfully ... but I'd be bitten to smithereens. Enjoy those days with Ray in his retirement mode ... but we just need to get through whatever life decides to give us - I hope a kinder world ahead. Friends, family and blogging et al keep me cheery ... all the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteoh, if I'm around the mosquitos flock to me. You're safe. So far, the weather has been good for Ray so he can begin his freedom outdoors a bit - play some golf, etc.
DeleteHooray for Ray. I'm like you...another year starts with another (mask-wearing) day. Looking forward to an improved 2021...I hope.
ReplyDeleteindeed - hope you are well and not buried under too much snow yet....
DeleteI'm glad you have no more (living) mosquitos. Sheesh. Congrats to Ray on his retirement. I hope that's good news for you too, friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the beautiful photos.
Happy, safe, healthy, loving 2021.
PS Oops to the no hugging, etc. =)
it is good news that Ray is retired. He's a happy man and he's puttering about taking care of stuff I didn't know needed attention. All good
DeleteLove the qoute at the end. Great post Joanne.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
yep - that quote caught my eye
DeleteWith all the crashing and cracking around me, I do more writing. It refreshes my soul to pour meaning into words.
ReplyDeleteThe quote is great. I once said to my son that mosquitoes are the most useless unnecessary part of God's creation. He is an entomologist, and apparently they are useful in pollination.
everything has its purpose, but...we can still not care for the creature or thing. Glad your writing refreshes. We've all found more meaning in so much. Take care!
Deletelmao yep, screw the bugs, so much better when they aren't out
