Look what I found, hanging in my fig tree!
My wonderful son-in-law is a farmer and he was clearing away an old rusty fence. Knowing how much I love rust, he wrapped some into a Dreamcatcher for me and hung it in my Fig Tree.
He also left another bundle of rust for me to cut up and use.
I am so delighted with the thought and the time he put into this in his busy day.
When I thanked him for the time, the thought, the gift, he said, “I like supporting your crazy arty-crafty ways”!
How lucky am I!
So here is the thing, yesterday, 21 January 2015, my husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer. This is the new journey it takes us on.

You are so right Laurie. Fires, floods and now ‘plague’ on Biblical proportions. Do you think the human race will learn from this????

I honestly don’t know if we will learn from this. We shall see. I hope to heck we now realize we need to put lots of money into science and research. For years, scientists have been warning us about the potential for a serious pandemic. Have we listened? We have not. However, if the death toll is high and things come to a screeching halt, we might start listening. I live in hope.
