Coming along. I’ve done more since this picture was taken. At times I sit down and spend an hour or two at the table. At other times, I stop by when doing something in the kitchen and invariably find a piece or two that I can add to the puzzle. That’s what I like about it. It’s all about the process, which is true for most things I do, whether it’s reading, quilting, working on a dollhouse, doing a jigsaw or crossword puzzle. I can be impatient about many things in life, but I’m not at all impatient about this kind of work.
It’s such a gorgeous puzzle.
So why wouldn’t I want to extend the pleasure of putting it all together as long as possible?
Also – it keeps me sane as we slowly, slowly run down the clock until the Inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. My prayers last night were for the safety of our leaders and everyone involved in our government. Sadly, I have a feeling that will be a constant prayer for quite a long time.
It’s another gray day here. Endless. Occasionally we get a hint of sunshine, but it quickly disappears. These are the challenging days, not just this winter but every winter. We work hard here at the cottage to maintain a positive attitude. But it sure is a challenge!
We watched PBS last night – the new series Miss Scarlett and The Duke and the second episode of All Creatures Great and Small. What a wonderful escape! I’m so enjoying both series.
Stay safe.
Happy Martin Luther King Day.
