Fog Days

The day I drove my mother home was very foggy, preceding the melt. Now all the snow is melted down into spots of green and white. I was really hoping for the snow cover to remain. It is so much better for the garden.

The almanac predicted such weather extremes, although nowhere was there a prediction of the earthquake news. I saw an article that showed the sensor measures of the earthquake as it was recorded in Ohio. Big zigzagging registered on the chart. I don’t think we will understand the full impact of this last quake for some time yet.

Tonight is the new year, and I am strangely unmotivated to celebrate. Perhaps I will let my mind wander as it will and quietly see the new year in. Perahps lift a glass and pray a prayer, contemplate the general categories of things I should think about.

Happy New Year to you 🙂

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
