My back yard last night. The Snow Moon casting shadows.

Oh my sweet summer child. We send our kids out to play in it. Always have.

I read your book. I saw it. You described the different scenarios very well. And here we are.

Yes. As a 10 yo girl, I explored forests on my own or leading younger kids. Rolling up my shorts to walk barefoot in strange ponds. Finding my own way home. Perfect.

I have a dear friend with dementia. She tells me she slept late bc old friends came over yesterday. No one did. But like AI, her mind fills the blanks with plausible reasons and antecedents. AI works like dementia!

Tales of the Greeks and Trojans? We own a copy once.

My backyard has trees but not an arboretum. And the leaves are still falling.

Here is a ritual I developed after a year. On the anniversary of my husband’s passing, I go out to breakfast with 3 BFFs. We each chip in $10 and give it to the waitress. We pick out another family dining and ask her to put it against the bill anonymously. A surprise, a pay it forward memorial.

It’s pregnant *women*. This isn’t random in the population. It’s women, every time.

I love that movie. Such a transformation.

Beautiful. Love that area of Hamilton.

In Canada, Adelaide Hunter Hoodless lost her young son in 1889 after he drank raw milk. These deaths we so common it was called ‘summer complaint’ and recorded as meningitis. She was shocked to learn it was raw milk. We have known this > 100 yrs! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaid...
