Peru, said the llama.

When helplessness becomes the loudest voice in your head.
A woman took an early walk on the beach, and saw that the storm the evening before had washed hundreds of starfish up onto the shore, where the receding tide was leaving them stranded.
She began picking them up and throwing them back into the surf. Another early riser commented, "Why even try? You can't save them all. What your doing doesn't really matter." The woman looked at the starfish in her hand and said, "It matters to this one."

@Madken65
I am focusing local. It's what I can affect.

@Mandypar
I miss you! Please tell me how it's going.

@LlamaMountainStudioArts
How are you doing? Getting ready for the winter we will eventually have?

@Minholkin
Morning! Another day of determination. You ready?

The weather for the Virginia Blue Ridge Nov. 8:
We made it to Friday.
It's already 60 F, which is higher than our high should be. Heading for a mostly sunny high of 78 F with less humidity than the past couple days.
A cool down is coming.
Make it a kind day.

Good morning @Minholkin --how are you doing this morning?

Weather Nov. 7 for the ancient VA Blue Ridge:
It's nearly 60 F with a high of 82 F. Very warm for Nov.
A chance of rain, and we need some. The last rain we had was over a month ago.
Let's make it a good day. Be kind.

This is a friendly welcome for folks!

Looks we have quite a few new community members.
CoSo is different.
We are kind and thoughtful. Expect opinions, humor, and photos of cats and dogs and nature.
We are honest without being hurtful. We check in on and support each other.
We don't abide "acting ugly," as my mom would say.
We welcome new folks who bring their kindness, opinions, humor, and obligatory pet photos.
We're glad you want to be part of our family.

@BrightEyedDyer
All of them
