March 13th, - Saturday morning
It is Nine a.m. and I am on my third cup of coffee.
Meditating on things that evolved at the church meeting yesterday.
Wondering when the Parish Hall will become a part of the Indigenous community, and if they really mean that eventually St. John's church will be de-sanctified. My hearing is woefully inadequate, and sometimes I get the wrong impression of what is happening, or due to happen, and have to wait until it actually DOES happen to find out if I was right or wrong.
Waiting for youngest son to arrive so that I can go and retrieve some of the things which are precious to our family, - the plaque in memory of Charles' two brothers who fell in battle and the bell pull that my beloved wove - I can't reach the belfry that one of our sons fashioned at his metal shop, but hopefully it can be reinstated somewhere where it will be claimed dear to us.
Life does change, - the way people think changes, and I feel old and out of things. Well, I am old, - 96 is not to be included with the young and active, but still..........
Time passes....although this is not relevant to what I have been thinking, the trees are starting to bud, - the Daphne is in bloom and it is time to turn the clocks ahead to enjoy the long spring evenings.
I have been reading up on "flash essays" and find that to fashion one or two is quite inviting, and maybe I will do that - it seems that I have many things that I could express an opinion about!!!!!
It is a sweet spring day, and perhaps Bruce and I will do things in the garden this morning. Would love to take the cat out as well, but I don't feel nimble enough to chase after her if she should decide to scale the fence and run off down the lane!! Perhaps I could take Charles' cart - maybe I could even venture up the street with it. Over town is taboo, I think , but there are plenty of back streets that we could toodle along. Well, I will see, - in the meantime there are things to do in the house, so I am off to wash the breakfast dishes and consider setting some bread to rise......
Happy Springtime!!! Catkins are getting longer and fatter and the sky is blue......lovely!!!!
