Maybe spending too much time on the internet does the same thing. I seem to be hounded by, stories of a flat earth, conspiracies, and warning that hell will break out when they try and take my guns.

Suffice it to say, this entry made me think of Henri Matisse and Claude Monet, both of whom lost their visual acuity in later years and both of whom responded by inventing new styles of<br />Painting that were to change the course of art history. Also, that I too have terrible vision partly genetic and partly because of stupidity in seventh grade science class involving hydrochloride acid. I had no depth perception at all until I was fifteen, which made me very clumsy. But I remember lying face up under the Christmas tree, looking up through all the branches and lights, and feeling blessed by the beauty. Thanks for your post. It was wonderful.

In 2014 flash floods came thru. It was called the 500 year flood. While we are in a flood plain and saw our roads covered in water when the nearby creek overflowed its banks, our house somehow was not damaged. But the other side of the creek is not in flood plain, yet there were many damaged flooded houses. Weird. Then a couple weeks ago another flash flood came thru. The creek overflowed again, but we were fine. But the other side of the creek again had water in their houses. After 30 years in this house, it is time to go thru room by room and donate/discard unused and unwanted stuff. We may not be so fortunate next time a flash flood comes thru...bluebird<br />P.S.<br />Miss reading your commentary at The Automatic Earth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-54640103342235085942017-07-22T22:31:01.314-05:002017-07-22T22:31:01.314-05:00No. We live in North East Valley on Baldwin St (wo...No. We live in North East Valley on Baldwin St (world's steepest street) so we only got some slipping under the edge of the house (not hard to fix fortunately).<br /><br />vivknutty knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325560883289908412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-76618277531617274012017-07-22T09:36:29.727-05:002017-07-22T09:36:29.727-05:00Heather- the blueberries sound good.
