The 19th thing I learned all over again in 2025-- as a good friend of mine in New York says -- Go outside

Our Fall Blooming Anemones in full bloom
This one aspect of our beautiful garden
makes me so happy.  They were very late
 blooming again his year because of the high
heat this summer.

The political scene right now can get very depressing.  The 
stories of wars, and mass shootings, all seem insane.

Do yourself a favour.  Turn off your phone, and all of your devices,
bundle up if you're in our part of the world, and go outside.
Arrange the lights on your tree. Pick up some boughs.
Sing a song or two.  And forget all of the bleak stuff.

The outside world is waiting to enchant you.  We have met
amazing people on our walks.  Wonderful artists, amazing
photographers, and published book writers.  I mean.

Have a loving your life day!
