Going with the flow doesn’t mean we don’t know where we’re going; rather, we are open to other ways of getting there.
Sharing with Tom's Tuesday Treasures - and Don't Miss his post of Fiber Artist, Bisa Butler today!

Personal update on breathing from this 83 year old with COPD...I didn't use oxygen at all on Sat, Sun or Monday. Did a short walk several times, and was only a bit out of breath. It's there if I need it!
------------------
From the second Sunday's back yard at 3175 feet trip, I have an unidentified blooming plant. Anyone have any ideas? There weren't any tendrils like witch hazel has.

Also wish that several nearby wild-fires are soon put out. Our plan to drive to Little Switzerland in a week for a day trip means driving right through the current smoke of the Jumping Branch Fire in McDowell County, which of course we'll decide to just not go there that day if it hasn't been put out.
Monday it was posted on FB as 0% contained around noon. 20% by evening!
And tthere were photos. It closed Hwy 80 which goes up to the Blue Ridge parkway.
...true treasures are friends and friends who help friends. Take care and be safe.
ReplyDeleteYes to friendship treasures! Thanks for encouragement for safety!
DeleteThat's a powerful quotation by Leonard Peltier.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many people have ever heard of him.
DeleteI hope the put the fires out and that you can stay machine free.
ReplyDeleteMe too...though the machines are helpers!
DeleteThat is excellent news about your walks and breathing. Absolutely.
ReplyDeleteAnd you're right- no reason to go through smokey areas. Little Switzerland will be there next month too.
But it will be spring break just that week, however. So our enjoyment together will probably take us to a different town with bookstores and restaurants where we can stroll about and be "tourists!"
DeleteLeonard Peltier has been in and out of the news for, well, decades. Biden released him from prison to go home to his family on the reservation, under house arrest. A lot of us think he was framed and betrayed.
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot that he'd been pardoned. Thanks for reminding me.
DeleteHe wasn't pardoned, just commuted to house arrest. He's so old that it was a kinder act to let him be home after so long.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos of you and your friends! The wildfires are scary, it has been dry here. I hope all is well and the fires are out. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
The woman who started this fire didn't put out her cigarette. It's 30% contained as of tonight (8:30 Tuesday)...but is 275 acres now. There's also an announcement that most of the fires in NC haven't been caused by lightning or electric wires down, but by humans.
DeleteGood for you managing your breathing!
ReplyDeleteI feel pretty good today, but my brain isn't at it's best. Enough said.
