Just a quick note to say hello and wish you well.

I could not resist her sweet little face. So here we sit.
There’s no place I would rather be. Stroking her as she sleeps fills me with peace and love.
Through my window I enjoy seeing the trees with their changing yellow and orange leaves.
A large bluebird lands on the fence with what looks like a nut in his beak. Earlier, squirrels had scampered along that same fence.
I have things to do. People to call and email.
But here I sit at peace with the world.
