Prayers for your Sister

Climate has no boundaries

We must "do" something ‼️

Prayers for Becky and family. North Carolina clearly shows us there are no safe havens from Climate Change. What can you do? Join a group.

I offer my heartfelt prayers for your sister and her family-+1-shortly. The solitude of our southeastern states has been blasted by the effects of global warming. I used to backpack in those mountains as a young adult and recognize town names and geographic features.

Your colorful collection of leaves brings back my falls growing up in NW Pennsylvania. We’d rake the leaves, run them through a shredder, and create giant compost heaps for the spring gardens. Hard work. Healthy organic food. Sigh.

Thanks for your essay and stirring my memories, Julie.

Thank you Gary so much for being here and reading. It's so devastating and troubling. They are safe and sound. We are so grateful.

Raking leaves and jumping in them are the best! I'm happy this post brought up some happy memories for you.
