I know that snow at the farm is peaceful.....and the best way to enjoy...UNTIL....it is too much...and too long. Glad you got to be with Celia and Colin during the holidays. Looks like personalities are surfacing for these two munchkins. I will always remember our beach days....and all the little personalities there at Outer Banks. Those troubles with Winnona....so challenging. Certainly hoping she can can get her back on the road...to the destinations you so enjoy.

You are doing a...I love seeing photos of the farm. You are doing an amazing job of carrying on what David started....and loved. Lots of history and memories in that place. Seems as David got older, he loved the farm even more. I must echo the sentiments of the heat heard from others who have commented on your blog. Still remembering the time we went to Acadia ....and met you and David...in Bar Harbor? and ate at that lovely spot overlooking the water. Aren't memories wonderful! No one can take them from us. We also need to get "out of Dodge"....but the Rona is slowing us down quite a bit. I stay inside most of the time during the summer here...would love to escape to Maine...or Vermont...or ?? where normally the summer temps are delightful! A friend of mine recently posted this poem by Wendell Berry....and I pass it along to you...because of your love of nature. My guess is that you are already familiar with it. "The Peace of Wild Things." When despair for the world grows in me..and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children's lives might be (and grandchildren..and great grandchildren)....I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free."carol45@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07792067923714394058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6790583569537123678.post-5082928412864891152020-03-22T17:37:18.317-07:002020-03-22T17:37:18.317-07:00Welcome back.

I cheered you on as you continued your journey and grieved when David passed. I hope this blog and your readers support you as you continue to grieve, heal and continue living. Sending love to you!

You are one brave and determined woman. So glad you are moving ahead with your life and enjoying the road life once again. David would have wanted you to pick up and get going again like you are doing. The RV community is a strong group to help you begin a new life on the road. I've read back through all the posts you've done so far. You have some beautiful kayaking photos. The wood duck is my favorite. One day at a time, one small step at a time.

Such a loss, I know. An interesting quote from Einstein..."Life is like riding a bicycle....to keep your balance you must keep moving." Often is is hard to just put one foot in front of the other.

Had no idea the difficulty you had with the park personnel though I'm sure you shared that at the time. I shed some tears reading this post. I am very happy to see you creating a new blog to document your experiences and feelings. I miss David too but I know my grief is a small fraction of yours.
