I'm sure by now many of you have decided I'm not ever gonna write again - but I am.  Today has been a really fun one winterizing the cottage.  Each year I put up clear plastic over the inside of all the windows with a double-sided tape and today was the beginning.  Got the living area and bathroom but no bedrooms yet - that's for tomorrow…….  The ducks seem to be visiting but not staying long each time.  Two or three days we didn't see them at all, but a short visit today.  The shotgun blasts apparently scared them off for a while at least.  Now when Frank walks outside and they see him, they take off….Reading a daily reading from a very inspirational book Joanne Burkett gave to me - Jesus Calling.  I recommend it for those of us who are trying to get a closer connection to Jesus….Also into Ram Dass's Polishing the Mirror, a good collection of some of his best ideas, in my opinion.  A very readable book.  Much more so than Be Here Now. ….In general, I'm thoroughly enjoying the calm of the winter months - at least for now - even enjoying managing to stay warm and relatively upbeat in spite of cloudy days… How can I complain when I had three lovely December days of sunning in the hammock for more than an hour!
