Running a Muddy Trail

Remissives & Permissives but not Submissives

Oh, I've been remiss!

Sitting here now, again at work, with the splatter of last week's raindrops morphed into the silent singing of snowflakes - big, beautiful snowflakes - I can't help but smile and feel cozy. Plans for the bakery remain stalled, despite our best intentions and I have not yet begun to build all the shelves I was hoping to have done by now.

But I will always have my individual short-comings, or goals that I haven't yet attained. Those are trivial details.

We have more friends around town and the area now and are involved with several programs locally that are making a difference, making connections and bring people together. This crazy life becomes more satisfying every month. (Plus, the seed catalogs have arrived!)

Our town has a Christmas tree this year, for the first time in decades. Its a big pine, cut out of a woman's yard and set up at the traffic light in town, decorated with donated and hand made ornaments by anyone from the area. Last night, as we walked home from a friend's house in the snow, we saw that the wind had knocked the pride of Belington over. Our beautiful Christmas tree was laying there in the snow, lights still lit, some ornaments hanging on, some scattered around it where it lay. We picked the monster up from the tip and worked it back up to the standing position. It was a bit ruffled, lights not evenly covering it anymore, but it was standing with a dusting of snow adding some decoration.

As we stood there and admired it once again, another gust of wind came through and blew it over once more. The stand needs to be wider.
