Still feeling numb with the news on Japan, and it's not even personal, but that sort of devastation is mind-blowing. Sort of makes my frivolous thoughts seem even more frivolous. I sat here on the computer last night gorging myself too full of videos and photos of what had happened, like many people, I'm sure.
Today am trying to distance myself a bit, which is healthier. But it all makes me want to re-fill the 55-gallon plastic water barrel we keep out back---refresh it a bit, and begin buying bottled water to have handy. To have drygoods put back as well, but with our income, we stay just on top of things. That manna doesn't hoard, you know.
I heard the the earthquake shifted the earth's axis, and that's not an uncommon occurrence with events like this. Huh. I'd never heard of that, but on first read, it sounds a bit scary. Apparently not, though. Just one of those things that happens.
Well, will rest a bit more, which won't last too awfully long. I can hear that Gary's got the chainsaw working again---he took it apart and put it back together this afternoon. He's wanting to do a bit of yard cleaning, and uses the saw to chop down our fountain grass (we have LOTS of it), and the weather is perfect for that. The grass is about to begin putting out fresh shoots, and the old bits have to be cut at the ground level.
I think I'll let the boys do this and will bake inside. Middle daughter wants to make lemon squares and we're having quiche for dinner. Sounds better than yard work any day. :)
