Hello!!!

It's ME!

I'm back from the beyond.

WHY...

because it's boring being by myself!!

I didn't do anything exciting

I didn't do anything new

I didn't do anything of any consequence

but

I did find out that I am not the
ONLY

one who is feeling

a bit

torpid

!!!

love that word!!

a bit out of sorts

a bit lost and down

a bit discombobulated

a little orff

just not quite right

so I decided

what the hey

lets's get back in the

roomontheleft

and see what we can do to amuse ourselves

whatcha say

up for some nonsense!!

good

As long as the sun shows itself after a storm

we've got nothing to complain about

do we.

NO

we don't.

I have been reading blogs

and it seems many many bloggers

from one end of the globe to the other

have the

winter

blahs

(well in the

Southern Hemisphere

it's the

summer blahs)

but it seems more than that

there is a feeling of

no one quite knows what

je nais se quoi

a feeling of not knowing

if you are coming or going!!!

this new year has been quite

one of strange occurrences

the magnetic pole has shifted

apparently

so maybe it's that

we are unbalanced

and we don't know it

(I'm always out of balance so what's new!!)

Of course all the horrors that have happened

don't help

those unbelievable floods in

Australia

those poor poor people

I read a blog from there

called

BushBabe

and she has been recording the event

and it's been quite an eyeopener to see the water just on their property

and of course looking at the TV and newspapers too

the floods in California too

the snow in the South here yesterday

is wacky

the birds falling out of the sky

all over the place

the huge fish kill just off the coast here in VA/MD

hundreds of thousands

just washed up on shore

and of course

our little body of water

full with geese not knowing where to go or what to do

they are flying in by the dozen

from every direction

because the weather keeps changing

and they don't know where to go

and then the things that we humans do to each other

is the worst of all

but we won't

'go there'

for now

we had some snow the other day

not much but enough to get me out with the camera

snapping

what

there

was

to

snap

this strange little thing

is the foot prints of a

squirrel

or a

very

 very

 very

small

person

I'll let you decide

:)

hope you are all well and happy

and balanced

 I have been working with the knitting book

but so far

haven't done anything worth showing

maybe next time

knitting takes a lot longer and a lot more

concentration

a lot

see ya's
