tuesday
I missed my morning LJ writing time this morning. Got a late start and then Jan and I walked on the bike trail at Lake Wilhelm.
The question:
29 Would you rather your life have a rewind button or a pause button?
In the last year a lot of life has been on pause. So then my only other choice is rewind? I want fast forward. No, not really. Life is still good even in the time of covid. Luckily the hobby I enjoy most (walking/hiking outside) is still available to me. I don't hate wearing a mask like some people do. I do miss eating in restaurants. I do miss being able to travel. I miss seeing certain people. I look forward to the vaccine.
Johnny is better than he was. The fever is gone. He still has a bad cough. Alison is getting sick now and has a fever. Her dad is sick too. They are all taking care of each other.
Some wintry pictures from our walk this morning:
Newly fixed culvert pipe with building stones placed differently than they used to be.
The other side of the culvert. A couple stalagmites under the pipe.
Old Man's Beard vines. I've always liked that this plant has a different name in the spring - Virgin's Bower. Huh (!) I just looked it up and it has another name: Devil's Darning Needles. It can cause hallucinations. All parts are poisonous to humans. Hummingbirds like it.
Lake Wilhelm is partially frozen over.
Patch of blue.
The bridge over Long Run.
Long Run.
