Spring came, Summer came, Autumn is here and nothing has changed!

 Except the leaves

We had an early freeze and the leaves were properly zapped for color, thus, all of the ones on the outside of the tree became this wonderful color. The sheltered leaves stayed drab, alas. And now they're falling, rake time!

Spring was mild, a little snow, a little rain and then summer came with a total drought. Decided to let everything adapt and save what little water might be in our well for humans and animals. Plants can always be replaced when the climate changes.

It has been a very sad year for all of the world's people, Covid-19 and the extraordinary death rates, the earthquakes, the monsoons, the hurricanes, the political situations all over the world.

My prayer for all of you is that we will reactivate the Golden Rule.

Look it up if you have no idea what it is!

Blessings on ALL peoples.

It's easy to make and may save a life

This is one of the ones I made

I've been making face masks for the past couple of days, they have all been given away to those who
need them. BUT, the NYTimes has a great article on how to make your own and be assured you need to make one as soon as possible. Here is the URL:
How to for a MASK

They are super easy and I'd suggest using an old pillow case if you don't have fabric. If you do have fabrics available, quilting weight or any tight weave will do.

This is the New York Times drawing of the finished product!

Good Luck and stay  safe

Be Brave and think positively!

There is a reason for everything normally, but this isn't normal, the fact that we are under siege is rampant stupidity and avoidance of reality.

We are all terrified, as we all want to live forever! I hope we all will.

However, now is the time to think all the things that you've  always wanted to think about, create the things that you never thought you'd be able to create.
Say "I love you" to the people who matter  and "I'm Sorry" to the ones you should have said it to long ago.

Watch the sun rise and set, be aware of the coming of Spring and the new moon shining brightly.
Hold tight to the things that are really important and don't despair.

Spring is slowly coming to Casa Manana, one day snow and one day warm. We know that all things will change, and the seasons will progress as usual. We need to relax and enjoy each day.
