How do I love thee?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints,—I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!—and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

I love being married.
It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
Rita Rudner

"Love Is Enough" by William Morris

Love is enough: though the world be a-waning,
And the woods have no voice but the voice of complaining,
Though the skies be too dark for dim eyes to discover
The gold-cups and daisies fair blooming thereunder,
Though the hills be held shadows, and the sea a dark wonder,
And this day draw a veil over all deeds passed over,
Yet their hands shall not tremble, their feet shall not falter:
The void shall not weary, the fear shall not alter
These lips and these eyes of the loved and the lover.

True love comes quietly without banners or flashing lights.
If you hear bells, get your ears checked.
Sophie Monroe

Good morning..

Misty rain out this morning and I sure hope the temp doesn't drop to make a freezing mess out there. We are on the way to the city, Kyle has two appointments and in between these I am dropping off jars of mustard to a friend. Cute story about that mustard but no time to tell at the moment.

Better go get my city duds on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Amy · February 01, 2024, 05:49:14 AM

Bubble, thank you for the new start page, you always out do yourself!! Seems we just got into January and now tis February!!

JaneS · February 01, 2024, 07:24:37 AM

Well, if it's February already, I missed tw birthdays and February is FULL of birthdays! June must be a busy month in my family! Even the married-in ones are celebrating in February. And now Kyle is adding a Wedding celebration!

I'm watching the sky light up so Cooper and I can take our first walk of the day! He thinks we should just head out right after he eats but I have to wait until I can see where we're going!

BUBBLE, you outdid yourself. I remember the poetry and it takes me back to my school days! My English teacher in 9th and 10th grade was a fan of the early poets and writers and she installed it in me!

I think the sky is lighting! I'll be back later! Enjoy your day Everyfriend and share it with the rest of us!

No one here today? That coffee is getting kind of tough by now.

I'm sorry I wasn't back in here earlier. I had one heck of a busy day! Cathy and I went to the Amish grocery store and that's in the next town over (about 10 miles). Then when we came home, she stuffed her frozen stuff in my freezer and waited for me to do my eye drops and we went to WM. I got all the stuff that I've been missing for about two weeks.

Then Cathy dropped me off and headed for home. She must have been almost there when I realized that she hadn't got her stuff out of the freezer. I texted her and she answered that there wasn't anything that she needed today so she'd come back and pick it up tomorrow.

I had my lunch, finished reading the paper and did the crossword puzzle. Then I emptied all my waste baskets and put the garbage can out for collection. I got Ggrandson Cam's birthday card ready to put in the mail box for pickup tomorrow.

I did some cleaning up and putting away and a lot of eye drops all day. And now I'm ready to hit the haystack! I have to be up early to meet Cooper in the morning! Also, tomorrow will be laundry day and more eye drops.

RICK, I loved the song!

I wish Everyfriend a peaceful night's sleep and a happy day tomorrow. I promise I'll be back! You all come too!

Amy · February 02, 2024, 07:08:44 AM

Good morning

Yesterday was a long day...one I don't wish to repeat! Dr. checking Kyle out in a year. Dropped off mustard and head to another appointment. We were glad to be home to do a lot of nothing.

Today is make arrangements on getting a quilt to a 12 yr old, she has already started chemo and I pray she doesn't follow in her granpas footsteps. He had exhausted all treatment here and in the US only to have MAID at the age of 52.

Jane,happy birthday to Cam!!

Patricia, still in the -40's?

Rick I also like that song.....anything by the Everly brothers!

MG, how many days till moving day?

Better get this day rolling..

JaneS · February 02, 2024, 07:29:05 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! And a special "Good Morning, AMY!" It sounds like your day was as busy as mine yesterday. It came up bedtime and I wondered where the day had gone!

Cooper is here and he's lying on the floor where he can see the sky out the window. He's waiting for it to be light enough to go for a walk. And I need to go get dressed before we can go. I think I have just about enough time to do that. So I'll bid you all good day! Make it your own in every way and come by and share it with friends.

I must admit that I forgot to call LLOYD'S granddaughter last night. It's on my agenda for today! If I get through to her, I'll let you all know!

patricia19 · February 02, 2024, 12:54:21 PM

Good morning, minus 48 with dense ice fog again this morning. Temperatures won't begin to moderate until Sunday or Monday. Nothing new here, same meet and greets, same chores and upkeep. Everyone is staying home if they can and staying warm.

We haven't had one of these severe, lengthy cold spells since the seventies or eighties.

Meanwhile, Anchorage across the mountains is digging themselves out of a one hundred inch total snowfall, so heavy it weighs thirty pounds per square inch. The earliest 100 inch total arrival on record.

Amy · February 02, 2024, 01:24:26 PM

Patricia, I don't envy you the temp nor the folks with the heavy snow!! That is the kind of snow that plugs up the snowblower and makes me

patricia19 · February 02, 2024, 02:44:08 PM

Amy, Dawson, in Canada's Yukon Territory is the same distance from us to the East as Anchorage, AK is to the South, and they're minus 30.

MarsGal · February 02, 2024, 05:32:00 PM

Moving day is Tuesday, Amy.

JaneS · February 02, 2024, 08:11:46 PM

HEY! I just got off the phone with LLOYD and NANCY's granddaughter. We had a very nice conversation! She said that she doesn't know why he hasn't been on with us lately and when I told her that the website had made some changes she said that was probably why. She also said that he's been doing a lot of dozing and that Nancy is still favoring her leg that got hurt when she fell about a month ago. She said she'd check things out with them and see if she can get LLOYD back on line and that if we had made changes that was probably why he wasn't on!

I thought we had a very nice conversation and I'm sure she's going to look into things. She was amazed that we had her phone number but I think she was glad we did! And I think she was glad that people so far away are concerned about her family.

Now I'm going to give in to the tireds and get ready for bed. I won't have Cooper tomorrow. Frankie is off the weekend and they're heading for Maryland for a visit with her mother!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. Come by and share it with us!

Amy · February 02, 2024, 09:09:54 PM

Jane I sent the same information to Lloyd as I did you, just hope she reads his emails and finds it.

MG , you will be fine, seems you have everything under control.
Patricia, we have been to the Yukon ,in the summer,don't think I would like those winter temps.

I too am off to the haystack.Enjoy your evening.

Amy · February 03, 2024, 05:46:12 AM

Good morning..

There is a possibility we may see the sun today! Domestic duties are calling and I hope I can hang laundry out today.

Yesterday I put out some chunks of suet and I heard him before he flew in to feast. Gronk (raven) came down to pick out the choice pieces and fly away with them. Nice to see him , now if the crows would visit.

Better get the day started ,just maybe I will have time later to get some sewing done.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · February 03, 2024, 09:55:23 AM

Good Morning Everyfriend! I've been up for a bit, had breakfast, got dressed, took a walk and brought the paper in! I have one more load of laundry to do today and then nothing until I decide it's time to change the bed. Christy will be here in a couple of days and I'm hoping the bed can wait until she's here. I want to flip the mattress and I need help. I used to be able to do it by myself but not any more!

AMY, I hope we hear from LLOYD soon, too! And I hope NANCY'S leg soon feels better!

MG. Happy Moving Day! I think you're on my side of the Susquehanna now and that when you move, you'll be on the other side closer to your ?sister?

I better get started on the chores. The sun is shining brightly out there...in fact, when I took my walk, it blinded me...even with sunglasses on!

I wish you all a good day. Come by and share it with us!

Vanilla-Jackie · February 03, 2024, 10:12:02 AM

Jane....
...at least you have put my - our, minds at rest, and know he is still at home and not on his travels or worse, he is not in hospital...thank you Jane...

Amy · February 03, 2024, 10:47:07 AM

Jane, the new mattress's now you can only turn them no flipping as there is only one good side! I have laundry on line,tad chilly out but worth the frozen fingers.
Beautiful sunny day now and I hope that red sky earlier doesn't amount to much.

Think we will have chop suey for supper, something different. Picked up bean sprouts and mushrooms this morning ,have everything else so it is good to go.
Strawberries for dessert .

phyllis · February 03, 2024, 12:09:51 PM

We will have strawberries next week, after Papa Spuds delivers them on Tuesday.
The imported berries aren't as good as our local ones grown in the field but the tunnel grown local berries are pretty good and make a good substitute.

Cold here this morning but a nice sun is shining here, also. At least it isn't rain or snow....yet. Rain coming next week, so they say.

Take care, All.

Amy · February 03, 2024, 01:02:33 PM

Phyllis, tunnel, is that a greenhouse type of building?

patricia19 · February 03, 2024, 01:10:54 PM

Good morning, it's minus 49 presently with dense ice fog and I have to go out to pay bills and pick up a few items. I imagine that the taxi wait times will be horrible, but I've put it off long enough. I'll wait until afternoon to see if some of that fog dissipates. I may wait until Sunday, as the latest weather report now says it may begin a slow warm-up.
