Embracing

I’m geared up to go outside, feed animals, and continue repairing my fencing. No exciting plans for today, but doing what’s necessary.

Things here are changing a bit. My renter has found an apartment and, over the next few weeks, will be moving. I will miss her, but am happy with her that she’s found a place of her own. There’s much to be said both for sharing space and for living alone. Every change requires some readjusting.

I’ve been wrapping my head around my changing household; especially when months ago she moved in, and now, with her leaving soon. Initially, to provide space for her, I tossed lots of stuff I’d been hanging onto for no useful reason. Now, those tossings will make reclaiming the space easier, and actually, it’ll be larger.

So, things evolve, and we adjust to constant changes.

Speaking of change, there are inquiries about puppy Chase and whether he’s contained. Yes, and I’m incredibly relieved. That fellow could scale any fence, creating a major issue of whether I could continue keeping him. The problem was that, if I couldn’t contain him, it was likely that nobody else could. I had trouble imagining the chances that this trouble-pup would wind up in a safer home. Thankfully, I did the right thing, or he matured and lost interest in fence climbing; both are likely.

Dear Friends: Hope you’ve begun to thaw your turkeys! Diana
