Good morning...any coffee on? I am here counting the days if this week. Where did Wednesday go? The dreams seem more real than the daylight. Though I don't see the sense in either. The diligent delegator that is in me is screwed if the players didn't read the script.

I would love a semi warm day , semi dry day with an abundance of coffee and a view of rising fog. Alas I will be calling again(s) to get my tools back from borrowers that only needed the for a few hours, months ago. I need them to assemble the new ergonomic snow shovel. Snow is coming.

How are the windows looking?
Hugs and another fill up of java.

This morning's drizzle can almost pass for a fog, but I bet it is still drier than a sub-arctic sunny day. Snow is the most patient slow-watering system ever devised and the gentle humidity is apparent to my senses on the driest of snow country days. I take those tall, straight trees as proof that my senses are reading the conditions correctly.

The windows and doors are looking worthy of another fill up of java. This old scrap of dairy history might make the transition to a 21st century honey barn yet. They are encouraging progress. Not ready for the health code inspectors yet, but maybe a step closer.

I'm reading a book with the title "Waiting for the Punch" for how it feels waiting for the other shoe to drop or, as the author puts it, "waiting for the punch." The book's helping me just for starters because it comforts me to know there are many others who have to quiet the doomsayer prophets, as you put it so well, arfie.

I am a doomsayer from a large and prolific family tree of doomsayers,

Working to break the cycle. . .

It has taken ALLOT of therapy for me to consider the possibility that happy endings are statistically possible. I don't wanna do THAT math, but anything's possible. There are allot of unknown variables in the universe.

Works in progress. . .

I'd love to join ya for coffee..... I'll bring a coffeecake..... Things always look a little sweetie with cake

Gentle hug sweetie.... I hope that things can all be worked out with a little time and effort...…

I believe in hope and I know that we can make positive changes with some work.... Nothing's more important then these wee ones.... I'm rooting for your family......xo

Can ya bring some k-cups, too, SunCloud? My k-cup coffee rack is full of holes.

I agree that there is nothing more important than the wee ones. There is no success I find more impressive than a child's smile. Don't tell me. Show me.

I am helping myself to some of Suncloud's coffee cake as I head out the door.
i messaged my last movie buddy and we are going today! I was thinking about tomorrow to get mentally ready, but with impending snow later... today it will be.
I will trade lefts for rights on the shoes that drop,
hugs all.

K-cup drop.

Holey coffee rack sacrilege remedied. K-cup brewing. . .

How often does it happen that you get more out of the advertisement than the link? Your youtube link brought up an animated movie ad for, "The Missing Link." At first I thought you were letting us know what movie you and your movie bud were going to, but I got my eyes focused before I made a total ass out of myself.

Hm-m-m-m. . . Should I go to the Missing Link family reunion?

Am I lost in metaphor again or just feeling the coffee and cake combo?

Lurking in the shadows still on ds...always having to come to your journal Arfie….seeking, or at least trying to gain back what you vividly described as 'online bonds'.

Amazing woman that you are, as you continue on with what was 'falling down, life/farm' and creating a world of new from your roaming days. As you continue on with hubby and your grand kids...no doubt in my mind, as you sip your coffee and eat dear Jan's cake...solutions will come in God Whispers. Your resilience and commitment have no boundaries.

In a response post to my 'gratitude' a couple of months ago...,you wrote, like a mirror what I have felt with my relationship here on ds...beyond words, the impact.

""Funny how the bonds I've forged with my therapy peer supporters seem to transcend mortality, time and space. They are, hands down, the most mysterious and potent bonds of my life."

"Potent Bonds of My Life" could not be truer...I'd only add, 'life altering' as well with what is shared and what is responded by those bonds...….

ALL the best come to you, for your greatest good Arfie...

I've thought I felt your lurky touch from the DS shadows, ML. Thank you for the evidence that it was more than yet another psychotic delusion.

May the mystery never end.
