Sitting outside on a lovely day watching planes make contrails in the sky, and I thought of you. Thank you for teaching me a word I never knew before reading your work.

JP, how are things? Thanks for reading, I hope things are good your way. I feel like my life is back together.
I am not ready or even thinking of moving for a long time. I rather enjoy a house full of people. Not only people but three cats. I just got myself a dog.
Her name is Raven, two months old Golden Retriever. Talk about a handful, but it keeps me busy. Take care JP.

@dram12 Good news. I am glad you are having a four-feet family, plus your daughters of course. Looking back the best have been my dogs and cats and my one daughter and her boys... All more than grown up now... I'm fine as can be, now pushing 84. Age brings slowdowns and limitations, the worse -unexpectedly- being balance. I have taken a few bad falls, the last on ice covered by an inch of fluffy snow... l'm telling you this, given your move north. Be careful. I am enjoying your take on the Vikings. They were my favorite reading characters long before I found genealogy and Northerners on both sides of my family. One was most likely a mercenary given a farm in reward for services in one of the many wars (colourfull stuff with one reigning duke dying on an iced up lake and almost devored by wolves...) long before the French revolution. Then, the Kings of Sweden were supplying warriors to other monarchs of Europe... My mother's maiden name came to Lorraine with someone from a farm, probably in Denmark, dedicated to Hella where the help traditionally got the same moniker 'Helle.' Anyway, take care and my best to you and family.

The later may not be of concern to keyboard victuriosos, but those who might be harassed by Microsoft updates they do not want ought to heed this warning:
After routinely declining the 10 and 11 ongoing plague l gave up and left my laptop on overnight. It took two more days and night before l was blessed with that crap and inundated with more, the full screen ads for Microsoft 365, including aps and tariffs. It took me several turn on/off cycles to get rid of this nonsense and get back to work but, surprise, my keyboard is now inert...
Trying to find a solution online l came across several reports about this trouble... l have been using a fairly recent Lenovo laptop but l succesfully shifted to an older Hewlett Packard and shutting off the wifi just-in-case. Guess what, a few hours later it came back on... Can't blame Microsoft yet, but l'm not holding my breath.

I didn’t really like 11 but it’s better than 8. I hated that Generation. Sucks that you finally had to upgrade though.

Has anyone heard from @Jeanpragot lately?

Thanks Jean for the note on the pic… it’s a mix of that newfangled thing taking over the art scene, artificial intelligence (Now there’s a writing prompt for you!) and a conglomeration of photos… so it’s really me, sort of. I was feeling rather warrior-ish, so I’m glad the sentiment came thru. Careful of all that Game of thrones, nonsense… you’ll be trying to teach your cat to breathe fire!

Well, my friends, now that the Xmas spirit is molding amidst scarlet ribbons and re-packaged unwanted gifts and before the rowdy echoes of resolutions bathed in the fumes of unfamiliar drink bring you to the matt, here's a book for you:
THE ASSHOLE APP
by @Cocosghost
If Elon Musk's or the Meta princelet's doings bring you to barfing levels rivaling the latest pandemic, try this takedown of the Corporate enslaving of young minds. Fun.

Love the bleeding hearts on the profile. I've got plenty of them in my garden, they're wonderful plants.

Ah le Grand Est!!! A wonderful and much undervalued region. We travel to France every year. I love it. We visited New England once, but we found it a bit too... European for our liking. But it is beautiful, especially the Maine coast. White dear - oh dear. Not so bad here, but I can imagine them being a real pest. As to bambi - eh bien, ils font un dîner excellent! We have more problems with wild boar. They dig everything up, and if you hid upon a horde of them, you better run the other way. They're really "feroce".

@lhansenauthor l was born in France, in the eastern part of Lorraine where the weather can be frisky and now l live in New England's northeast which is even more cold. Still, most mid-latitudes ornamentals do quite well here and even flower for longer periods in the cool summers. I made a living as a landscaper for a couple decades, though that profession has taken a hit. The cussed White Tail Deer was protected awhile for the hunting lobby and now the darn things are everywhere in towns or villages where they eat everything that's not in enclosed space. lt's insane, but they cannot be rid off; would you shoot Bambi???

Sounds like you're somewhere more Northern than I am. We live in the foothills of Frankenstein Castle, close to one of the sunniest areas in Germany. I have to keep my bleeding hearts on the Northern side - in the south facing garden, they get fried, the poor things. Instead, we have hemp plants. But they're not as attractive...

I love ur theme, very sweet and peaceful ❤️ ☺️
Are you taking any reading requests?
If you are, I'd really appreciate it if you could check out my book, it's a teenage romance, comedy, heartfelt and has a powerful female lead!
If that's your style, perfect, then I've got just the book for you. If that isn't your style, I see that you like positive and wellbeing books of small shorts of inspiration, then my book called Magic ✨ will do for you;)
Otherwise, here's my book, enjoy, leave your comments of supports along with votes;)
Thank you very much
Have a wonderful day! You deserve it ☺️
