Interesting post, Jane

As Marion has pointed out, you've had your share of health issues in recent years, in addition to becoming a widow & adjusting to living alone. And as Bee points out, this is where we can come to share the ups & downs that we experience in our lives......so, be okay with sharing...we're hear to listen & for those who'd rather scroll on...we can do that too. You don't have anyone to talk to about it but the dogs, who do their best to support us in a loving way, some of them. A friend, last week, attended a clinic for bladder retention ...and one of the tips she was told about was that when she drove home & found herself urgently not being able to wait to get the key in the doorlock to get to the loo, to start counting backwards from 100. She said, it works. The idea is to refocus the mind.

Marion, don't you just wonder about these aftershocks and when and where they might hit. How unnerving. I'd be on pins & needles, myself. When time elapses with no shimmying & shaking, I'd relax & be lulled into thinking it is all over, only to have the earth start rumbling again...it must be frightening for you.

And speaking of rumbles, Friday night here in the country reminded me of how people describe the sound of tornadoes..the wind sounded like a train coming down the laneway all night. with the wind blowing through the evergreen trees. Saturday, we were fine here, still very windy, but 15 min. to the north, highways were closed all over because of snowy white-outs.... meaning, a curtain of white enveloping your car, house, roads, highways...the police close highways off when that happens. The snow is blinding.

But, the crows are back in southern Ontario. Of course, they may have been in hiding without me being aware of them...but with the warm weather last week, they were cawing up a storm. Spring is coming. Another month and a half of winter to go. Those out in western Canada kindly refrain from sending us here in the east, pictures of their tulips, snowdrops & daffodills.
