Hints of the Gladness - December 13, 2022 (More below)
I’m happy to be growing. to be stretching be to be challenged. I’m happy to live at a time when traditions cab questioned and explored.
A seagull making seagull noises.
I hear an eagle,
and then I look up into the tree
and I see it above me.
A beautiful baldy!
Hints of Sadness: Our family is grieving right now over the loss of our dear sister Mary (Mimi).
As I have thought about her over the past couple of weeks I am first of all grateful for her. She provided a place of refuge for Kathleen when she needed one and she was like a second mom to our kids. She didn't have that many people in her life, but those who were close to her she loved them well.
The water is calm on the inlet today.
I have come here to just be still
for a little while,
so that’s what I’m going to do!
Be still.

Goosapalooza. So many ducks and geese today. Maybe 50 to 75 geese in this one area and about the same number of ducks as well.
A big freighter is coming down the inlet assisted by tugboats. It’s quite a sight!
A bit of an unusual site today when I saw a seal in Noons Creek. After that, a bald eagle flew up into a tree at the side of the inlet. It’s one of those mornings where nature is really active! (See photos)
I had a really nice chat with someone who does traffic control. They’ve been stationed on the trail where they’re doing some sewage pipeline work. She told me the story about how she tried to get home last Tuesday in the snow and ended up at a Sikh temple, where they fed her . Eventually, she met someone outside in a jeep who drove her home. Such kindness!
