the long drive home


 This sketch shows only about half of our driveway, bordered by young live oak trees. When I walk down to get the mail, our outdoor cat Stubby will only go half-way. Then she sits and waits for me next to one of the trees. On the walk back, she plays “tree tag”, tapping each one as we pass.

    1. This is a very peaceful place, at least most of the time. There is a neighbor with too many barking dogs, and another that hosts very loud night parties with music blasting away (heavy on the bass amps) every other month. But each property is 5 acres or greater in size; ours is set so far back from the road that we feel like we are very removed from the neighborhood.
      We’ve had our own craziness: Bill is slowly recovering from a second neck / spine surgery and our granddaughter’s school has had a large outbreak of COVID-19, complicating our lives since she was living out here once in a while. Thanksgiving is a problem this year — do our kids come and if so, how do we keep everyone safe?
      But we will get through it all with the Lord’s help and grace. I hope you and your loved ones are keeping safe and blessed.
