I needed to slow way down on Facebook, which was easy to do because we are in Tulum for two weeks. We have been here 3 days and I feel so much better already. I also bought and brought with me The Book of Joy , Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu in conversations on lasting happiness in a changing world. I am going to start reading it today.

I've been avoiding FB too. Getting down in the dirt sounds like a good idea, too. Maybe we'll do some of that this weekend.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-12314501901232558022017-02-02T18:54:09.390-06:002017-02-02T18:54:09.390-06:00Beautiful pictures, Ellen.

I, too, want to recognize what is good and true and from-the-dirt right now. Not to mention family. <br />I don't know. I just don't know. I bet your soup was so very good.

I thought I'd look at Suburbans. Have you seen the price of those? When did Trump put his greedy mitts on cars? They are way out of my league so I thought okay, another truck. Well, the last truck I bought was 32K. They are now in the fifties. What? A truck that costs that much? Unbelievable.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-2781587210887080012017-02-02T14:48:49.151-06:002017-02-02T14:48:49.151-06:00I too have been very busy doing all the jobs I nor...I too have been very busy doing all the jobs I normally just skip.

With the fight with Mexico, the local workers at the nearby landscape place may not be back to help us. We will be on our own! I am getting old, so may have to adjust just how many flower beds I need rather than want. Very mild winter here. Two light and small snowfalls and that is all.Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-86995578688165732862017-02-02T12:19:02.573-06:002017-02-02T12:19:02.573-06:00My azaleas are blooming too.
