Cold! Cold! Cold! Suppose to drop below freezing tonight. Ho! Ho! Ho! Won't be kind to plants tonight unless they are covered well. Little heater keeps on cranking.

Goodall Hope book is getting more interesting--getting into chapters that describe some of her spiritual experiences--finally. Most took place out in nature, which makes me recall my early years in the woods and on the lakes--the serenity of those places when I was alone--just me and forests and the waters.

The cold is making me feel really jittery. Sun was out today, despite the coolness, and that was nice to be in as long as it lasted. Daylight seems to not last long as we approach the solstice--the shortest day and longest night. But once we hit that date, the daylight periods start to lengthen. Can't wait!

On my walk today, saw my previous landlady--her husband turned 85 yesterday! Now there's an example of well being! He's still running his business--doing it all! Go Hector!

Some of the books I ordered from Amazon are being delayed. Looks like they'll dribble in sometime over the next two weeks. Oh, well! Have plenty of reading materials in stock! They'll get here when they get here--for sure!

Not looking good for the climbers who have gone missing on Mt. Hood. Too bad! Was hoping they'd be found alive. One's been found dead and the other two are still not accounted for. They knew what they were doing, but it was their time. Lots of turmoil in the Oregon area what with the turbulent weather. May it clear soon!
