Nothing to Speak Of


Howard 
He was a good boy


I have nothing fit to print. I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. A feeling likely shared by many. So, I'll follow Boud's example and make a wild plum crumble. Prepare a chicken for roasting and perhaps finish mowing the lawn.

Yes. So much loss. Tasks are good.

Take good care of yourself. Howard is delightful 😊

Please take care of yourself. ❤️

Dreaming said...

I totally understand. Take a few deep breaths and find a few moments just for yourself!

Sandra said...

I made myself busy, Boud.

Sandra said...

I used to say that when people asked me how I managed to this place back in the day. That was my answer, Miss Merry.

Sandra said...

I try, Far Side.

Sandra said...

I understand that, Rita.

Sandra said...

It's difficult when every day we see our foundation crumble, AC.

Sandra said...

Howard was a spoiled, willful bundle of drool and I adored him, Linda.

Sandra said...

I'm as ok as I can expect, Cheerful.Thanks.

Every single day it's another sign of a failing nation. It is troublesome so many can't see it, Dreaming.

Where are we going? Feeling so surrounded by fear, grief, anxiety and anger. Truly a turning point. Hope that wild plum crumble gave you a break from what is going on....

Sandra said...

With the incitement to violence coming from the very top, I'd say we aren't heading anywhere good, Lori.

It's hard to feel overwhelmed when I'm retired but I must say there are always plenty of jobs to catch up with in the garden.

Sandra said...

I'm overwhelmed by my country.

nick said...

There are similar political problems in the UK. Yesterday 110,00 right-wingers rallied in central London, addressed by Elon Musk. The government has no idea how to regain the initiative.

Sandra said...

I heard about that, nick. Authoritarianism always seems to resurface.

Baking is good therapy, that I have found. Love your sweet Howard, what an adorable pose.

Sandra said...

One of Howards many poses, Denise!

I love a good bake, any day of the week. Hope you're feeling less overwhelmed today.

Sandra said...

I am much less overwhelmed. Got bread made yesterday, used some buckwheat, Ivy.
