Life is so beautiful

The temperature was perfect today. 
The light outside was muted, just enough cloud cover to lend an ephemeral aura to the whole world. Well, as much of it as I could see. It took my breath away, it was so stunning. How can such a beautiful world have meanness in it?
Aaah, if I had the answer to that. Then what? Would I be able to change it? Probably not. So, I am back where I started; ignorance, maybe, is bliss.

The simple things in life gave me pleasure today: shelling pecans, hanging clean clothes out on the clothesline, showing a friend how to weave, bringing broccoli in from the garden and making soup, preparing a new garden bed, and planting basil. The days are so sweet when you do not have to get into an automobile.

Peace to All

Starting to blog

For this very first blog of mine I will just introduce myself. I'm a mother of four wonderful people - grandmother of two. Will soon celebrate 43 years of marriage.


I like humor - a lot. If we don't laugh, life is boring.


Like to keep moving - big muscles, and small. At 64, I NEED to keep moving LOL!


My passion right now is weaving. I love to weave rugs. Sometimes with music playing, but mostly I love it to be quiet. Love to just think. Think about the kids, the grandkids, life. I've been weaving for about three years now, and the house is literally filling up with looms. I've got to stop bringing them home.


I love couchsurfing.org - I truly believe it will help the human race to achieve world peace. And world peace is what I wish for our future generations.


Enuf for now,     Thanks for checking out my new blog,       Pat


Well, well, well, this was in drafts - who wudda thunk it. So, I will just post it, and let you deal with the redundancy.
