Our 1st freeze arrives tonight – we’ve been out moving various plants into the enclosed porch – saying goodbye to the zillion zinnia blooms!

  Is that what this is? A zinnia? I don’t know my flowers. Have to rely on Ric. Was pretty impressed that this bloom is hanging in despite the snow we’ve had.

    No, your image is not a zinnia … I think Ric is right – dahlia.

Resilience

Boxes are filling up around us. We’re making a dent in our to-do lists. Doubt seeps in. Are we doing the right thing? Then I remember all the reasons behind making this choice and affirm: We are dismantling one life to build another, purposeful existence.

Monday Mood: squirrely

The movers need to be arranged, and the closets sorted and packed, and when was the last time we bought groceries…. Head and attention are going in too many directions at once, and I’m exhausted before I get started. Might be a little cranky too. The stress of moving is real.
