A few snippets. It’s been a while.
OUTSIDE THE WINDOW of a friend’s kitchen on Monday, forsythia! She says it never stopped, the whole winter. That’s how mild it’s been.

I’VE BEEN ASKED the same question several times this week and I don’t mind one bit, but in case anyone else is wondering, here’s the answer: “Very well. His counts have returned to normal ranges.” After the weekly runs to Columbus ended in January, it slipped off main stage.
I plan to rewrite all the leukemia posts, tighten them up.

TWICE in one week I find myself in situations where I am “in my element.” It takes me by surprise, both times. I think it would nice to be able to wrap that feeling up and give it as a gift to people. It’s something a lot of people could use and I would like to tuck several instances away in my bag, to pull out and distribute, as needed. Just a random thought, that. (And gifting is not even my love language.)

ON THE LEVEE yesterday afternoon, a car pulled in so slowly I wondered if the driver was coasting on fumes. Heads barely visible above the dash. I went back to my book. But later saw they’d come to feed the ducks. An outing. A date. A bag of bread. They held hands going down and climbing back up. Sweet.

SUN creeps up earlier and earlier these days and streams across a just-made bed. Photo opp.
