It was a peaceful day that began with Penelope meeting at Linda's. She presented an exceptional poem that I think will be published and a personal essay on a friend's death. Several of our members write about death and it always makes me feel uncomfortable. Each of us has experienced losses, but none as sad as the friend who lost her son when his car was hit by a train. She was present today and silent as the poem was discussed. I tried to focus on punctuation and rhythm rather than the content because I knew she was struggling. The years since the accident have been so difficult for her that I hate to cause her a moment's pain.
The crescent garden is now weeded and mulched. Five more gardens and the entire property line to go! We have to order more mulch!
250 lengths put me just past 10 miles. What more can I ask? Strenuous exercise, a yard full of gorgeous flowers, thought-provoking friends and a wonderful family. Today, as always, I feel incredibly blessed
