Extreme diligence and the contemplative life

The exhibit at Peabody Essex is fabulous with gates and stones from the Palace Gardens. The Emperor had the right idea - retirement was a time for contemplating objects of beauty, but why wait until retirement? Of course, he was seeking enlightment.
 Of course, lunch at the Brew Works was yummy. And the company, the best.
Today, chores, errands and walking through the woods with the dog. He's restless this morning due to being in so much the past few days. I have to get an appointment for Buck Wheat. The lump I felt last week has gotten bigger. We assumed it was related to a fall, but it should be getting smaller by now. I'm feeling sure it will be bad news -  health and money wise. Vet's visits are so expensive, but my animals are priceless.

Finally the winds have settled and it's in the twenties this morning.

Make the year last longer.

The floating text spreads across the rectangles that represent the cards and the book.
