Tumbling allong with the tumbling tumble weed

I'm still here!

I have been trying to spend more time with friend and family. I can't get out to do it sometimes, the weather limits me. I have been on the phone.


I don't have access at home for the internet right now and it has opened up the phone for visiting again. It stays busy almost all the time, I'm loving it.


While I have been out and about, too, spending real time with people, when I can't get out I can still let them know I am thinking of them. It has made a difference in my days to be able to hear from them.


I'm not knocking the net! I love it here. I research and learn and share here. It is a solitary pursuit that keeps us from each other. When I can't get to "real" people THEN I reach for the net where you all can catch up when you can.


It's a change I think I needed. I get tied up in only what I am doing and thinking and feeling. There should be more congregating and visiting in time I am not working and sleeping. It shows me there is more to life than me, I tend to forget that.


It does mean I am not here much, though. I have been missing you all. I will try to get caught up this week.

There are still changes coming to my life. Some have been good. I came across an old friend with an old friend of another friend along. We are all getting caught up again. There is a need for us in each others lives again.

I watch the snownados driven around the yard and fields and know how they feel. Snow added, dropped, picked up again; Size changed, larger, smaller; moving quickly and then spinning in place; all by a force I can't see or understand. Then the wind stops and they just fall where a moment ago they stirred things up so much you couldn't see the road.

I even saw one leave a foot print on the road in front of me as it went across, a small drift of thin snow in a path as straight as an arrow.

Life is good.
