So now all my wood surfaces have been Murphy's Oiled...a well as dusted. I've got a desk that says, come work here, I'm neat and tidy and clean. I am not taking the laptop off the dining room table yet though...because when I sit here I'm able to see everything outside. I get my nature fix by opening windows wide to the 68 degree air and rain falling gently.
But oh the Maples! They're dancing hither and yon. I can see up to the tops from inside (here at the second story level of these giants. They have multiple trunks...each of them. A strange version of maples to me, but they seem to do alright. I think I've got 4 right outside. There's the schussing of upper leaves and then the slow murmur of the lower ones, and just a hint of sway from all those uprights.
I'm grateful that my stimulus check allowed me to have house cleaners this one time. While I was getting more and more sick, I was doing less and less. And this woman and her daughter knew just how to make things right again. I now will enjoy my home, where of course I'm mostly isolated!
And by comparison...
