Two Monday photos that you've seen before in different form. The first was rotated on its side; the second was converted to b&w and stands out better this way.
We had a light snowfall overnight but too light for the driveway contractor to come. It's got to be about 2 inches for them to bother. We'll go push it around later this morning. It's light, so it won't be difficult.
Sha and JJ were hit pretty hard by the latest virus. After about a week, with much time off from work for Sha and school for JJ, I think they are just about back to normal. Somehow, Danica escaped, and we did too by avoiding contact and cancelling our planned family dinner last week.
I am glad you escaped the virus. It's no fun getting sick.
ReplyDeleteEscaped one more time.
DeleteI've gotten the flu vaccine and hope I escape it this year.
ReplyDeleteMe too 🤞
DeleteSnow is falling gently here this morning. Glad you didn't catch 'the bug'!
ReplyDeleteIt was a nice fall. We may get more tomorrow.
DeleteJust about a week ago, while eating in a diner, I heard two patrons discussing one of their properties that were full of "Indian pointer trees" showing the direction to water. He exclaimed that he could fill a museum up with artifacts by just plowing the property. I wanted to ask him how old the tree was since any "Indian pointer tree" would be 200 years old at this point but held my tongue.
ReplyDeleteYou are a patient man
DeleteI think my lifestyle of living alone with only occasional indoor social contact has served me well. I get few viruses. Not none, though. Handsome Son works in a public setting and probably carries them when he visits.
ReplyDeleteOur contacts are also minimal but not complete.
DeleteI like what you've done with the photos. It's good you escaped catching the virus and also good that Sha and JJ are recovering. We got a couple of inches of snow. Not enough to plow.
ReplyDeleteWe still like to clear the driveway, so the next layer doesn't harden on top of the first layer.
DeleteInteresting effects of that textured tree. Glad you didn't catch what your loved ones had, and hope they are returned to health now. I declined going into a home to have chats with a woman who admitted she was "under the weather." I avoid as much as possible getting into environments with folks who are suffering. It's become a self-preserving move.
ReplyDeleteTis the season to be careful.
DeleteI like thst you go back to your photos and try different approaches.
ReplyDeleteI miraculously avoided that terrible virus Larry had last fall. It was just after my knee surgery and I really vould not afford to be sick. I'm afraid I avoided him like he had the plague, wofe a mask, and sanitized every single thing he touched. I felt bad about not raking care of him, but taking care of me was all I could manage at the time.
These viruses are bad and contagious.
DeleteThere's a lot of different ailments going around. Friends were to join us for a concert then Chinese dinner after but he was hit Saturday with intestinal bug. We are healthy and hoping to stay that way while we visit family in Buffalo later this week.
ReplyDeleteIt seems especially bad right now.
DeleteI like the shots. Glad that you avoided the bug.
ReplyDeleteThanks 🤞
DeleteFascinating! I'm hearing more and more about terrible flus and the dangers of RSV. Ugh. Glad that you escaped it at least.
ReplyDeleteShall we knock on wood together?
DeleteThe images are processed to my liking. Love the texture very much too
ReplyDeleteSometimes, texture is all that we have in a photo.
DeleteI like the gloomy textured photos. Glad to hear everyone is feeling better, there are a few things going around.
ReplyDeleteThis bug lasts a long time around here this winter.
DeleteThat's about what we have -- maybe less here, but it's still coming and seems to be a bit thicker. A good day to cozy up inside!
ReplyDeleteWe are expecting more on Tuesday. I'm all for these lesser snowfalls, and this was pretty nice snow.
DeleteWonderful images! I am glad you did not catch the virus!
ReplyDeletePipeTobacco
Phew!
DeleteWe love time with the family but always worry about the cold/flu viruses they may have been exposed to. We worry about it but spend the time together anyway unless we know they are sick.
ReplyDeleteWe can't be perfect, and we have to keep on living too.
DeleteI've had the current crap for several weeks, and my daughter is on day 11. It's awful. Best wishes to Sha and JJ.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough one.
DeleteThere is definitely something going around. Our son and daughter in law have been sick for over a week and don't seem to be getting better.
ReplyDeleteNorovirus is rampant in our area, that stuff hangs around on surfaces for a very long time. Nasty.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, the photos are delicious in texture and curiosity.
Interesting photos. Glad you avoided the virus. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteI was low in December with something that I think is only now clearing up.
