Will we run like a rabbit, distracted by technology and devices?

Or will we keep our heads down…I am very familiar with this position…weeding, weeding, weeding.

Or will we pause, breathe, and gather strength for another year of creativity. This summer view is one road over from my home and keeps me grounded.

My 2020 goals will be patience, compassion, and more patience. Have you set goals for the New Year?

Please share your thoughts on 2020 in the comments section.

In closing I share these thoughts:

What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night.
It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime.
It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset.
~Crowfoot

Kudos, followers

I see from my stats that my followers are reading through the thing about challenge…great! Remember to click “older posts” too as there are about a dozen thing posts…

Now that we are on the cusp of spring, I submit another blog post regarding how to shop farmer’s markets…enjoy! Mining older posts are a good thing, right?

Take a few moments with your second cup of Monday morning beverage and dream of how a week or a lifetime would look/feel like here…

Houzz Tour: In Italy, a Barn Becomes a Weekend Getaway

What do you like most about this slice of Italy? Would you have the patience to take on such a project?

As I ponder yet another house project here at Swallowtail Cottage, a visual pause permits contemplation and inspiration.

Happy February…I see signs of life in the gardens, and the wild birds continue to keep me company…77F here yesterday…much too warm. I also need to find out who is spying on me at night with their drone…I thought a plane was about to crash, then noticed the lights were hovering just above my privacy fence!
