Tuesday b-4 Thanksgiving

Trust and be not afraid. Life is full of wonder. Open child-trusting eyes to all I am doing for you. Fear not.

I worked yesterday in Glens Falls as a teacher aid in one of their elementary schools. It was extremely cold and unpleasant doing recess duty. This morning it was again very cold, rainy and raw. Work called me at 5 a.m. and I turned them down. Bashey and I slept in until 7:30. What a treat. This is the toughest month here in this part of New York. March is tough too but at least the sun is warm if it is visible. There hasn't been any sunshine of late. Day's are short and getting shorter.

I have been slowly decorating my house for Christmas. I love to decorate the house with traditional greens, cones and poinsettas. If it is not raining tomorrow, I hope to string some lights on the plum bush on the corner of the house. My neighbors lit up their spruce tree outside and it looks lovely from my bedroom window.

I drove to Wellsley, MA with my daughter Jill and grandson Will for the weekend. We stayed with my granddaughter Kate. What a hoot. We really just hunkered down since it was extremely cold. Will went to visit Emanuel College. Kate and I went to a craft fair. We ran between heated car, heated home and heated buildings. Walking outside was impossible.

I still don't have any photos for you. I planned to take some shots of the stark mountains against the cold gray ski but for various reasons, I didn't do it.
