It’s raining very lightly at the moment, but we’re supposed to get thunderstorms off and on today. Then, the temps will be over 90 degrees all week long. Happy for the rain, not happy about the high temperatures.
But, as my husband would remind me, stay in the moment and enjoy the rain. The grass, trees and flowers are very happy.
What’s Sophie up to?
She’s showing off her new shoes, of course! (We won’t tell her that she has to share them with her sisters.) Gosh, they are ADORABLE! You can order them in different colors and you can bet I’m going to do just that.
I find myself retreating more and more into the magic of Blythe world and the meditation-like work on the jigsaw puzzle. And reading, of course.
Wordsworth’s words are often on the tip of my tongue these days: “The world is too much with us.”
We’re currently a little on edge. Last Thursday, Don and some of the artists that are on his label performed at a venue in Woodstock. It was the first time in a long time that Don played in public. It was, according to Don, a magical evening. Everyone had a powerful experience that night.
We talked about masking before he left the house. He wore his mask most of the time, only taking it off to eat dinner outdoors with the rest of the artists and when he performed and emceed the event. Everyone had to be vaxxed to get in. Two days later, all the artists got a note from one of the musicians saying he had tested positive for Covid – he woke up with a scratchy throat that morning and decided to test. Oh boy.
Most of the other artists didn’t wear a mask.
So now, we’re all sweating it out until we can test tomorrow, which will be five days from the initial exposure. I wasn’t there that night because I was feeling unwell, but I live with one of the musicians, so…
Say some prayers for everyone involved, most of whom are older – like us.
Okay. Have to go.
Stay safe.
Happy Monday.
