dragonfly s dance dragonflies food photography cats and travel dragonfly s dance dragonflies food photography cats and travel menu search skip to content home about search for carved in stone tears sting my cheeks i said the last part of goodbye today i watched your grave be weighted down with granite and bronze your life span scribed in stone i sat with your family who also lie here and greeted them by name the ones i knew and the ones i knew only by name you were part of my life for half my life it s lonely without you but i have more to live and more to give and i know wherever life will take me you will always be with family august 7 2025 dragnfli cemetery community memories reflections leave a comment the first day of the rest of my life i dream of houses wandering around an old one moving into a new one when i dream about an actual building i have spent time in i know it as that building but it different from real life like in high school the layout of the buildings is the same but the appearance is different for years i dreamed of an old victorian house i loved roaming around in it was neglected and dusty and dark and there were a couple of aunts living in the basement i was the only one going upstairs about a week after i got married i dreamed about the house again only this time it was bright refreshed clean and bright that s when i realized the house was a dream metaphor for my life i have had a couple of dreams recently about the house i grew up in i could be alone there and not feel lonely i could retreat from the world into books last night i dreamed i was part of a big family and we moved into a new house it came furnished and didn t look like much from the front inside it was at least 4 stories high overfilled with furniture that was dark and heavy but there were large windows opening on to a large open garden space the view was great once you removed the heavy curtains and heavy wooden furniture as we wandered the rooms i could see the basic structure and it was good and looking forward to clearing it out and enjoying the open space i move brian into memory care today my life is going to change drastically again time to clear out the house and get some light in january 24 2024 dragnfli at home dementia dreams memories reflections the long goodbye leave a comment here we go late summer is taking another lap around the track it s 9 15 and still 75 degrees supposedly a cold front comes in tomorrow and makes it rainy and uncomfortably cool soup weather then i haven t posted much here about his dementia journey but my husband is in the late middle stages or early late stages who ever chart or definition you use today he went for a hearing test they determined he has some higher frequency hearing loss not surprising the hearing aids will be in the neighborhood of 5000 dollars i don t know if that s going to help him enough to justify the cost he gets to try them for a 30 day money back sort of guarantee insurance doesn t pay for anything except part of the exam fee i am at the point of researching memory care facilities there are a couple of them close by and the price is mid range for private pay which we will be medicare won t pay unless he is discharged from a hospital for rehab needs and then only for 90 days we don t qualify for medicaid because i inherited too much money from my dad which was supposed to be for our retirement yep that kinda blows the american health care system is broken i felt good yesterday evening like i had accomplished a lot in getting the ball rolling today i felt like there s a lot on my back i have a friend going with me tomorrow for moral support and because her mom went through this journey right now i m feeling really heavy teeny spark though i m thinking how the remains of a former camping trailer can be repurposed to travel in november 8 2023 dragnfli at home camping friends reflections time travel leave a comment sunday postcard art this weeks theme is circles here

figured it out this year sitting on the back porch of my dad s house the bees are out again after winter there were enough zooming around i couldn t get a count there were two or three hovering at the edge of the porch and 3 5 coming and going it turns out it s all about the birds and bees yep the hovering bees that were grappling with the others are male they have smaller and more slender abdomens the ones coming and going from under the wood table are females with larger and rounder abdomens all the chasing and evading and tumbling to the ground was all about mating this was their first time seeing us on the porch and i sat still while they looked me over these are carpenter bees and totally non aggressive to people unless you grab or hurt them then they can sting multiple times unlike honeybees in all the chasing and dodging they ran into us a couple of times they are about the size of the end joint of my thumb you feel it when they hit but it s like being hit by a ping pong ball they bounce right off the grackles are also hooking up a pair of mockingbirds had a tryst in the yaupon holly and swallows are nesting on the front porch life is burgeoning in east texas april 15 2023
