Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a Ponderosa Pine stump and can’t get out? Maybe all this staying at home, for who knows how long, will teach us what bears already know; how to hibernate and sleep through the down times! Hopefully we won’t stay as long as Rip Van Winkle. Even so, by the time we come back out the world will be a different place than the one we remember.
Smiling eye peaking
through the knot-hole in our tree
“Come out! It’s springtime!”
***
The air is fresh // sky is blue
We miss your hugs Grandma
