A berryin I must go....


I stopped (after seeing my MD and finding I have sever obstructive sleep apnea), at the blue berry patch.

When I arrived, voices of children squealing and playing was the excitement I found filling the air. Women picked and so did kids, and it was a perfect morning to be out in a place like that, It made me feel connected in a most beautiful way.

I began picking big round berries on bushes that were just loaded, and after while I noticed a woman picking near me, also alone. We began talking, and we talked about everything; politics, kids, berries, menopause, food, health remedies , history, education, all of it, and we became friends, Her name is Millie, and she had her tatting with her, Wow, I was so impressed! Beautiful work.

Anyway, I was so delighted, I have 2 new wonderful women friends, one is online, and one lives north of me, I hope to see her again, she was delightful.I stayed at the hospital last night for my sleep apnea, and I had a terrible night, it wasn't very promising. I had a bad headache.

That was my yesterday...Lovey signing out...

Imagine Rest!


Sleeplessness makes you feel bad!!

Happy 90th Birthday Ella!


My flowers for Ella, and vase I made, too.











Yesterday was Ella's birthday. She was 90 years old. She was radiantly beautiful. I love Ella, and I loved her sister, my dear friend Doris who left us March a year ago. I will always miss Doris' smiling face and her warm greeting, always so happy to see me. She and Ella talked everynight, it was so endearing, two sisters so connected. Doris' husband, my friend, Don passed 3 years her when I lived across the street from them. I visited everyday. They brought joy to my life, they think I bought it to them, but it was the other way round. They made me feel like I had a family, inviting Daisy and I for Easter, and Thanksgiving, and sharing all aspects of their lives with us.
I miss them still!

Ella's brother died in January, so she is like me now, the only one left of her family of origin. It has been hard on her, I can see the strain. But she is still strong, and so sharp. Just like Dorie was. Ella is a tiny woman with a great spirit!

I went skating 4 miles at Greenlake yesterday afternoon after Ella's party. I had planned it and felt I needed to just do it, even though i was invited to go to Dotties for a barbeque, I had already committed myself to going.

I went to see Kim afterwards, she is a best friend who lives in Edmonds, and she and I went to college together, in Texas. It was no plan we ended up out here together, but she and her Mom, Dianne are also like family to me. Yet, I still feel, for some reason like I am on the outside looking in to lives that are contained, joined and that I am alone. I don't know what my purpose is. It used to be my kids, I guess, then Daisy, came along, and she was my purpose, and now... I feel lost. Is that inevitable? I wonder! I guess there have been a lot of losses, more than is natural for me, and maybe I am just sad missing everyone.

I have a new friend from Daily Om. Her name is Debbie. She is a Godsend. Warm, compassionate, really so loving and understanding, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate connecting with her. She is a woman with a lot of wisdom.
Well, today I will go to my studio, make more pots, and look for jobs, and maybe skate or walk a bit.I am thiking about Jim Croce's song now, (Time in a bottle) "There is never enough to do the things you wantto do once you find them." I guess I have not yet found them, but at times in my life I have and there have been times when my life was full, I guess this is just one of those times to learn other lessons! I must be a slow learner!

This is a carrot from Tom's garden. He says it looks like a horse, his friends say it looks like a pig, I say it looks like a hippo. Could this be the mythical "Rorschach Carrot?"

Best time of my life, Raising Daisy

I was looking back at my blogs, and I see that come November, I will have been blogging a year. I was re-reading some of my first posts, and I realize I have not been as reflective about my experiences, or else, I have been too lazy to write! Well…maybe I have not been reflecting, and I don’t like that.

Daisy
Daisy in Leavenworth and snow when she was a little girl!

I love taking the time to reflect in life, about what is good, about what I sense, and feel, about color, light, rain drops and drizzle, and especially..fog!

Some of the very best times of my life were times when I wrote every single morning about 3Am, moon streaming into my window, there where I slept with my little Daisy. I would creep out of that tiny single bed she and I shared when she was 9, 10 and so on, and steal to the bistro by the window where the light flooded in from the moon. I could see the water lit up by the moon on the Sound a way from our house.

I lit candles and wrote in my journals, until I was sleepy and I would go back to bed and cuddle up beside her in the early morning hours until the alarm went off and we had to get up for school and work.

Daisy and Snow Kitty

I would get her ready for the bus, and once she was on the bus, I went running hills, came back, showered, and went to work. Got off work as soon as I could and picked her up from the Boys and Girls club program at school.

I think those days were the very very best of my life. After work and school I would get my hot water bottle and lie down for awhile, and she played Nintendo. I remember that many time asi was sick and she brought my hot water bottle to comfort me. I love her so much! I still get sentimental when I hear Mario playing. Then I would get up and make dinner, and we’d eat together, and spend the evening going to the store looking around, or just watchin tv. Weekends we’d go to Whidbey Island and run the logs together, or go to Snohomish to skate, and we’d pull each other on the trail.

Daisy now....


I miss her so much! She was my best friend for so many years, and now she is grown and gone and I wish I could go back. I think of all my life, I would stay in that time if I had to choose, even though in many ways it was a painful time for me, being with her was a treasure I can’t get over.

Of course, I was always so concerned for her safety, and I had to take extra care for her, and I was extremely attached and involved, beyond the normal parent /child relationship. Daisy is my Granddaughter that I raised. My family had died of origin by the time I was 32, so I had no help. It was lonely and yet so very full a the same time. I can’t explain it, how it was, I just miss that time, and I want my little girl back, I want her back so much!
