1/8/26   In a world  that is too often bitter,  judgmental, lacking grace, may we stand-out when we offer peace, loving kindness, and compassion.

    A quiet day.  Bekah cleaned upstairs.  The kids played well together, enjoying a quiet day.  Things have been hectic lately.  I halfway listened to an online gardening class.  The other half of me made cottage cheese.  It's been a long time since there was enough milk to make cheese.  I was pleased with how it turned out.  Bekah asked how soon could I make more.

    All the feeders were full of birds.  I have a "maintenance" doctor's appointment in Dover today.  I'm going to have to buy seed there.  I wish I'd gotten more sunflower seeds when I got grain.  Perko''s bags of seeds cost less and the bag is all seed, no pieces of the plant.

    Andrew is doing more every day.  His voice is getting stronger.  He is thinking about home, I'm not sure the doctors are.  Now that he isn't in ICU Gayle can't stay with him.  The roads were so bad last night Lil Andrew gave Gayle a ride home.  He'll be taking her in this morning before he goes to work.

    May your day be blessed, Sally
