Internet Disability

We have lost internet access this weekend and it is an inconvenience. I like to think of things as inconveniences, rather than problems, BUT, I rely on the internet for connection, and I relay on connection for survival at the end of the dirt road on the lake.

In my house-changing-cleaning frenzy, I emptied out the lower cupboards and put toys in them all, moved the largest oriental carpet up close and hoped that the visiting grandchildren from Boston would play happily right there. Except for the pull toys (which NEED to be pulled all over the house), it has worked well and cushions the noise of the construction toys as they rise and fall.
Isn't it perfect as baseball season begins to make a Red Sox chemo cap for a friend who is a devotee and beginning yet another round of intensive treatment??
Spring has sprung in a big way on Lake Androscoggin. Walking with a friend and her Soft-Coated Wheaton Terrier, Mt. Washington was visible this week, and the ice was on its way out.
Spring has sprung in small ways too, including ticks on dogs and this little daffodil reminiscent of a graceful bird (ibis, swan, even bird of paradise?), springing up literally from the sleepy earth.
In order to move the filing cabinet, T cleaned up some files. He was impressed with his pile of saved receipts, which had gone crumpled one by one into the file for HOW long? They made a nice fire AND filled up the shredder.

No more posts till the darned satellite connection is repaired.
