Whispers of Tranquility: Embracing the Subtle Symphony of a Gentle Morning
Greeted by the embrace of a crisp yet sunlit morning in this secluded haven, I find myself immersed in the subtle beauty of a remarkably mild winter. The temperatures, gentle in their touch, scarcely flirt with freezing before graciously yielding to the warmth of the day. The hardwoods retain their rich, verdant hues, while the softwoods have delicately shed their leaves, creating a tapestry of nature’s transition.
There’s a tranquil joy in rising with the dawn, witnessing the sun casting its enchanting glow over the landscape in a hushed serenity. Amidst the pecan tree, young cardinals engage in a playful dance of courtship, a prelude to what promises to be a vibrant and lively spring. A fleeting glimpse of a young mockingbird hints at the lively symphony that may soon unfold.
In navigating the ebb and flow of my daily well-being, simplicity reigns supreme. A routine of medication dictates the balance between health and ailment – a reminder of life’s delicate equilibrium.
Turning to the wider world, the news, or lack thereof, occupies my thoughts. The silence on matters concerning Israel leaves me yearning for insight, yet the pages are dominated by tales of Hollywood glamour and the shadows of Epstein. Even the somber narratives are overshadowed by more sensationalist topics.
In the midst of life’s rhythm, Snookums treads a path of resilience, albeit with moments of vulnerability. The departure of friends punctuates her days, and we acknowledge the solemn litany of those who remain and those who are missed. While there is a tinge of melancholy, truth prevails, and she faces the reality with unwavering strength.
Lucid moments illuminate the landscape of her recovery, and a newfound interest in her home emerges. Family, from brother to niece and great nephew, thrives in their own corners of existence.
However, amidst life’s tapestry, a poignant loss echoes – a cherished canine companion who ventured into the unknown and never returned. Thoughts of the potential encounter with coyotes weigh heavy on the heart, deepening the hues of melancholy that touch Snookums’ spirit.
As I share this seemingly unremarkable post, I extend a warm good morning to all. In the midst of life’s muted hues, I navigate the day with a quiet acceptance, awaiting the subtle magic it may unfold.

There is no such thing as an unremarkable post from you, every one is read, and is worth reading. Up here in West Virginny we are also enjoying a milder than normal winter, although, starting this weekend, we’re to have a week’s worth of more wintry type weather. Enjoy your birds, and warmth, and Snookums. Oh, hey, I brought these here gingersnaps….

I dispatched the snaps to their fate as humanely as possible.

Wintery weather has been mild, so far but, the RAIN has been relentless. Catch the news on the storm that rolled across the South/East, yesterday? Have mercy.
I am sorry for the loss of your pet. Letting them roam, even with a fence, can put them in harms way. Predators are single-minded.

The rains arrived with fury last night.
Tic was found by a riding stable owner, and was happily reunited with us. I just received a GPS tracker to put on him that will alert us when he leaves the yard, and allow us to find him with constant GPS updates.
He is a “climber” and nothing short of a 10′ concrete wall will pen him in.

I think I told you once before, but again, your writing always brings me a sense of peace . Maybe because you write about real life, the every day things. I don’t know what I am trying to say, so I will shut up! Good Evening dear Sir. ❤️
