This time it is Connecticut

Way to go NRA! 27 more people that, according to you, guns didn't kill. ( Remember guns don't kill people, people kill people.)
Back in the dark ages when I was growing up (1950's) the NRA was for people who went deer hunting. What progress we have made.
Somebody made those guns and somebody sold them and IMHO, they, the NRA, and their puppets in Congress have as much of the children's blood on their hands as the deranged man who shot them.

(Don't bother leaving idiotic comments about the Second Ammendment unless you mention the part about "the well regulated militia."

I didn't sleep well last night so I took an after breakfast nap. Ah, the joys of retirement. Eat your heart out, worker bees! LOL!!

Beautiful day. Clear, cool, low humidity. 

No cooking day. Took 2 containers of veggie soup out of the freezer and toasted some sourdough bread.

The housecleaners came today. It is so nice to have a clean house while spending the day quilting and reading.

Seeing how happy my cats are on the warm electric blanket. I only know they are alive because they change positions every couple of hours. 

Listening to beautiful music--Mozart's Clarinet Concerto--while quilting.

Winter has finally arrived and both the temperature and the humidity are comfortable. 

I located Rep. Pete Olson's office easily and registered my concerns quickly & easily. 

We have the Christmas electric candles in the windows and they look so cozy.

A lovely lunch with my dearest husband, daughter and soon to be son-in-law.

A Sunday afternoon nap

I finished reading The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watching in Nature by David Haskell. Reading the words was like pouring soothing oil on my naturalist's soul. Lovely. 

The Forest Unseen: A Year's Watch in Nature by David Haskell

Beautiful, just beautiful.  The words convey both the beauty of nature and the love the author feels toward his chosen mandala.  In addition to the affection expressed, the author has a good grasp of the general science of the area. I was quite surprised to learn how little I knew about the relation between roots and fungi and about life below the leaf litter.  Very interesting, very well written.

A good night's sleep last night.

The smell of mulch. JMM brought home a load of mulch yesterday but didn't have time to unload it so he left it in the closed garage over night. Love the smell of mulch. 

Bacon sandwiches.  (Ever notice how many of the things that make me happy have to do with food??)
