As is frequently the case, a casual observer might not focus on my intended subject. The first thing worthy of a second glance is the evergreen tree. Since my life here was planned to focus on the out of doors, bringing living things inside, be they flowers or trees, has not been important to me. This year we found this tree growing right next to our utility pole and one or the other had to go. The tree went. Placed in the center of our stone walled garden square, it just seemed appropriately festive.
There is no guarantee where the eye will stop next. The red and white hat is not part of a Santa suit. The logo says International Harvester and is all that remains of my first pickup truck. This is not the original hat but is a recent find. The shirt deserves more than a mention.
In my view, our country is bitterly divided with neither side holding all of the sin nor all of the virtue. I cannot see how either political party can get us out of this mess. From what I have heard spoken, RESPECT is a major value for only one candidate for President. So, for the first time in my life, I am sending money to a political candidate and will likely be relegated to casting a write in ballot. I understand the futility of my actions since NYS is a send it all to the Electoral College for the winner of the popular vote.
To put it bluntly, I am backing Tulsi.
