Oh my, SJD, what a scary experience!!
Hope you are past the storm, and hope the people in those two houses are all right!
Too bad about your plants, but good you and yours are OK.
Great choice taking a book and going to bed

Thanks a bunch for the "hopeful weeks",
wishing you the same

: :Good to hear from you again and to
: share what you have learned.
: I like your term " doldrum week
: " and will use it to describe
: some of my days and weeks.
: Sorry about the loss of your dear
: animal friend.You had some tough
: times.
: It is fascinating to me that none of
: the steps were ever really lost to
: you despite enormous challenges.
: You still see the right pathways and
: the time and planning it will take
: to get back to those ways.
: Last night a tornado warning and gale
: force winds uprooted a neighbor's
: gigantic tree and it fell on two
: houses whilst hailstones the size
: of baseballs rained down.
: Old me would have definitely
: "deserved " a sugary
: treat or two after picking up
: branches and debris and the
: remains of my container plants.
: New me remembered that I was tired
: and the best thing was to "
: batten down the hatches" and
: go to bed with a book.
: Now what would be the opposite of a
: doldrum week ? Hopeful weeks ? I
: hope you have many of them .
