Aging Gratefully: Speaking of dialects
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/11/speaking-of-dialects.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. I've been thinking about how much I love listening to and practicing accents. I think that some people are good at dialects and some aren't. I think it's a right brain/left brain thing, something along those lines. Just as some people can draw and some people can't. One summer we dug it out and spent what seems like weeks wheeling each other around in it. I remember holding on for dear life. So I wouldn't bounce out. As my sister rolled me across the yard. Me to bounce out.

Aging Gratefully: Gratitude, supplication, memory, respite
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/09/prayer-supplication-memory-respite.html
Saturday, September 13, 2014. Gratitude, supplication, memory, respite. Thank you for all the tomatoes and corn and beans and parsley and basil and carrots and cantaloupes and all the rest of it. And thank you for the good Husband who sited the garden so it got watered naturally and plentifully, and sun from rise until set, so that each plant has, completely naturally, begotten more fruit than any of its kind ever before in the history of the Earth anywhere. I am ever grateful for Thy bounty. And now the...

Aging Gratefully: Seasonal [and other] observations
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/10/seasonal-and-other-observations.html
Saturday, October 11, 2014. Seasonal [and other] observations. But none of them say ".woolly bear caterpillars." If there is one, I should avail myself of it. I have stopped picking tomatoes. I feel a little guilty about that, but I can pick no more. Husband has noticed the abundance of red globes remaining in the garden, and has brought in his own piles of the things. Sweet Young Thing, my new morning boss, is still a refreshing change from Jane the Tyrant. I do find, howsomever, that she is one of ...

Aging Gratefully: This Christmas
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/12/this-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2014. This Christmas season, I'm suddenly aware of the sumptuous luxury that surrounds me. I go through my days, month after month, not really taking note of the random comforts in my world, but I notice now. And once I begin to notice, I can't stop noticing. I'm grateful for Husband, who works energetically, tirelessly and mostly. Cheerfully, to improve our home and make it more efficient and warmer in the cold season and fruitful in the warm season. How blessed am I with all this.

Over the Bridge: August 2015
http://overthebridgeatbribie.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Discovering life on Bribie Island. Saturday, August 29, 2015. Is an Australian ecosystem of coastal south-east Queensland characterised by flora-rich shrubland and heathland on deep, nutrient-poor, acidic, sandy soil. Seasonal changes in the water table due to rainfall create swamps. (so says Wikipedia). Apparently, the wildflower walk is an annual event, part of a number of nature walks in the area to mark the start of spring (which officially starts in 2 days). I should have worn gum boots. Sowerbaea j...

Aging Gratefully: Giving thanks for surviving Route 10 after dark
http://aginggratefully.blogspot.com/2014/12/giving-thanks-for-surviving-route-10.html
Sunday, December 7, 2014. Giving thanks for surviving Route 10 after dark. On Thanksgiving we went from our home, in the northeast corner of our county, to dinner at an inn in the northwest corner of the county. If a person were to research New York State Route 10, he could read all about where it goes and what other routes merge with it. All you really need to know, if you're going to travel on Route 10. Is that it is DA. No sidewalks, no bike lanes, no jogging lanes. And yet . . . and YET. Nothing, not...
