My gosh! I have not written here because (blush) I was too lazy to find my password and I was asked to enter it for no reason I could determine. I hate the password memory game. So. I’m that ...

That Black and White Photo I am the crow in that black and nest-like chair. You see how the sun squawked, its slashes as black and white as death. You see my feet in old, long-baked boots at res...

Easy listening music in the house today, filling up the corners and touching the ceiling with happy soft sound. The house has been roofed. Not without stress but it is finished. I had a new ha...

I’m a feather-in-a-stream sort of gal, happiest just moseying along. Today was like that all day. I awoke early and knew I needed to get up so I could catch the yard crew and remind them they n...

I mentioned that yesterday my friend and I exchange stories about our trips abroad. The one that flowed into my memory I’d not thought of in years. It happened near Venice. I was so glad to te...

I awoke at 2 a.m. Groggy. Reached out to Kermit…found once more he wasn’t there. Picked up my book (The Richmond Slave Trade by Jack Trammell) and read for several hours. Kept thinking I’d fi...

Yep, my best and closest friend visited in person yesterday, from 1 to 6 o’clock and I talked my face off. She did, too. Whew! Isolation silence flew out the window. I feel much more myself t...

---

Yes, I have a hidden companion now. A toad hopped into the house when a workman took a door down to replace the weatherproofing strip on the door’s bottom. I saw the toad hope in, over the work...

FB friends…Check out the photo on my facebook page if you’d like to see my two new grandsons, post adoption picture. Just got some from a professional shoot.

It’s Monday in a very hot FL week. I saw the red line staunch on my outdoor thermometer just beneath 100 degrees yesterday afternoon. I was annoyed with my getting older body that all at one ti...

---

One thing about a lingering health problem that I observe–one has an opportunity to learn more about one’s own body. So intricate! Much better check up report on Wednesday and then even though t...

---

Ok. Picture a woman sitting on a sofa, putting ear drops in her infected ear and sitting with head tilted to await the medicine entering her outer ear. She’s watching TV, is comfortable with...

On the theme of memories increasingly floating back to me as this pandemic extends, and that I am approaching my 79th birthday new and welcome thoughts occur. And on the theme of this boost in m...

I couldn’t join the zoom meeting to see my daughter’s foster children adopted. Just now. I downloaded the site. Used my password. It recognized me and then when I entered the court password to ...

I haven’t been writing as usual here in the past weeks, or writing anywhere, but I do continue with creative options to watch great movies, seek out arts and nature shows on TV, read, print some...

On Thursday afternoon of next week my daughter Karen and her husband will adopt their two foster sons. The long awaited event will take place at their home, not the courthouse where before the p...

Life’s Ironies! I finally am scheduled to see an ear doctor tomorrow. I saw one in March for a problem and I was to return the next week. But the office closed. I’ve been newly deaf in my right e...

I’m so sleepy. For days I have felt as if I want to climb into bed, even though I get more than an average amount of sleep, and feel rested when I wake up. Ever since about eleven this morning,...

---

I have a audio doc appointment for next week. Following through to prevent the sense of isolation within groups, isolation that I have fought for so long. Thanks to my friend Kara here I have l...

---

Where do the hours go? That’s an often repeated question in my life here at Idle Hours. I get up thinking that I’ll go and spend the day outside or will shop or will see a film and before I kno...

---

This is an entry being written outside on the back fence patio. i have a view of the entire back and side yards, which are not in great manicured shape but very beautiful to me. I am so gratefu...

---

Watching the Trump impeachment Q&A this afternoon. I like the order existing and the control of speakers’ time in this method of presentation. Once or twice I even found in myself some unders...
