Still Here

Yes indeedy, I am still here. Inspiration just hasn't decided to peek in recently. I have high hopes for the new moon on Thursday evening. A quick update -

Snow White is still with me. She has decided to wait a bit longer until Summer decides to show itself in June. I'm very glad to have her company and perky presence in these interesting times. I will let you know about her send off.

I'm also happy to report that I have a new tree. I offered to buy one, but it turned out it was in the complex's budget. Yay! The new tree is quite young with only a 3 inch trunk, but it seems strong and steady. It's also about a third of the height of the one I lost, but I'm told it's a quick growing maple. So. With a bit of luck, it will reach a respectable height (i.e. be easily visible outside my window without my having to lean out to look at it) before they cart me away or I move first. lol. I'm also told that this maple will have stunning red foliage in October - so now, ironically, I'm looking foward to the Autumn!

Happily, after the new maple went in, I found out that my downstairs neighbor had also become attached to the old tree and view. Vindicated! Tho' I did wonder why the landscapers put the tree in before they took the fallen stump out and repaired the wall. The ways of my Property Manager remains a bit of a mystery. Well, they were fun to watch for the ensuing two days! I'm always glad for some entertainment.

And as for whimsy? It seems to have been hiding, tho' I am keeping my eye out for more. Cheers!
