Spring 2023

I'm sad to hear where you live-pockets can be found there, but it requires real effort to find them.

This has been a surprise all around, I've gone from virtually housebound to anticipation for adventures like I used to have (before March 2020).

My Panasonic Lumix wasn't used since last August (I date my battery charges!) and the LG sat glutted with 400 shots dating back to Christmas 2022. Put on my organizing cap as a result of reading about your TB storage, purged, put in albums, moved to the PC and started FRESH!

Unofficially, it takes 6 weeks to form a habit. So, now, it's set. Whether I post or not, I'm getting wet at the shore, tromping through woodland, making a pest of myself in cultivated beds and in general feeling that satisfaction when I get it just right. Finally learned IrfanView after 8 years of it laying dormant. So proud of myself for that.

From Cocoon forth a Butterfly
As Lady from her Door
Emerged—a Summer Afternoon—
Repairing Everywhere—

Without Design—that I could trace
Except to stray abroad
On Miscellaneous Enterprise
The Clovers—understood—

Her pretty Parasol be seen
Contracting in a Field
Where Men made Hay—
Then struggling hard
With an opposing Cloud—

Where Parties—Phantom as Herself—
To Nowhere—seemed to go
In purposeless Circumference—
As 'twere a Tropic Show—

And notwithstanding Bee—that worked—
And Flower—that zealous blew—
This Audience of Idleness
Disdained them, from the Sky—

Till Sundown crept—a steady Tide—
And Men that made the Hay—
And Afternoon—and Butterfly—
Extinguished—in the Sea—

I really love the rural lifestyle for SO many reasons, clothes are a the top of the list. Scenery comes next. Lived in cities or suburbs all my life and just waited to "exhale". (NO, not that kind!)

Still some habits remain. My earrings have to match the shirt, jacket or HAT!
