     Before going to bed, I walk out on the deck to check out the stars.  Yep, they are still there, twinkling.  They are always there behind the clouds.  Now I can see them and remember my place in the world. Sometimes I forget the vastness of life.

     Cold morning and the sun is out. Later today the poet will be coming for her 8 day visit. Time to fold and put away the clean towels, and make more room in the refrigerator. I returned all the stuffed animals to her bed. For a time, they sat with me in the living room.

     The list of undone tasks is unchanging. I don’t know why I just can’t clear off the tables and put away stuff. There are some jobs that defeat me. I suspect no one really cares but me.

     In the evening, I watch the last episodes of BLACK DOVES. A satisfying series.
