2011 bah humbug

This pretty much sums it up....on many levels



I know something positive happened during the year but, in retrospect,except for Brooke & Laura's wedding, I am hard pressed to find it.
I'll not dwell on the harsh memories. Really.
Suffice it to say 2011 sucked in so many ways that I am looking forward to 2012 in ways I never imagined.
Yes, I will be another year older but then so will everyone.

Morning with dogs in NOLA

I'm not really sure, but I THINK I saw this guy delivering a door to my neighbors this morning from the back of a government vehicle that looked suspiciously like a coroner's van.

New Orleans can be a little unsettling in the morning light.

he said -she said - I heard

he said: You are a northeastern liberal jihadist
I heard: You are a northeastern liberal Goddess.

I like mine better

he said -she said - I heard

What you said: My asthma is kicking in again.
What I heard: Miasma is kicking in.

whatever -both suck

NOLA dreaming

No one but No one welcomes a storm in the way New Orleans does. Oh, LordieLord let me live & die in a city with this much humor.

Aftermath

When this is the extent of the damage from a hurricane it is easy to forget how devastating water & wind can be.
Although the birds & bees have been dislocated around my environs, I cannot forget- we are more fortunate than VT & upstate NY where flash floods have taken homes & lives.
Although my clematis may never be the same, I will not forget the devastation of Katrina that brought America's most beautiful city to her knees 6 years ago.
Although my lawn & gardens are covered with leaves, twigs & acorns, I cannot forget those washed away in the low-country.
Although my road has become a crunchy rutted mess, I must not forget those whose lives were forever devastated by storms in Haiti.

I should not forget that it is the strength of people that will bring about recovery from adversity.

Always.

The work is there. We must do it.

Always.
