So this is where we’re at: #COVID is surging but folks are sick of hearing about it so we’re just gonna ignore it and hope it’s gonna leave them alone?

My husband just lost a good friend to COVID. People may be “done” with the pandemic /epidemic, but COVID is NOT done with us.

As long as Kramer is comfortable…

fleeting suncatchers
their measured, delicate drip
provides no warning
to the grinding, abrupt crash
of icicles from the eaves

Too many say, “It’s just like a head cold”.
I had it in November. It’s not a head cold!

Get the booster, mask & distance

If you're looking to purchase native plants for your area, try to pick a supplier in the same seed zone that you are in. US forest service has a webmap to use to help you. Just click the webmap link on the following page and click your area.

Locally grown is always best though.

I don't know why I was surprised to look out & see a snowglobe of swirling snow out the window; it is late January, after all. But this winter, & even the past couple have been so warm & dry that it came as a bit of a shock.

big, fat, fluffy flakes
an increasing rarity
in this warming world

Don't be cold tonight because of drafty doors. An old twin/full sheet tossed over the door before closing it will seal a lot of drafts. Let the sheet pool at the bottom to block that draft too.
Of course you need to adjust at the door jam too.
Sleep warm. Be happy. Save money. 😅
