I’m always aware, as I post these boring, mundane scenes, that people dear to me, and fellow humans all around me, are going through hell on earth every day.  I feel helpless and inadequate to help, so I just keep on posting humble, ordinary things which I do not take for granted, which remain.

Each of us is always one step away from catastrophic disaster; no one is charmed or immune.  I’m very thankful for noneventfulness and stability–gods know I spent decades evading them somehow!  People close to me have had trauma, hardship, and upheaval for much of their lives, and crave normalcy and peace.  I bear this in mind as I record these humble efforts to live peaceably and understand others’ struggles.

And now back to mundane trivia.  Here we have cat turf wars; guess who wins every time?

And here is your daily dose of the plant (and fungus) world.  I’m especially grateful for the conifers and other saplings my son allowed me to transplant to our beginnings of a tree screen.  Hopefully long after we’re gone, they will stand and mature and enhance their environment.  I wish the same for their donor.
