I'm Back and Hopeful


It has been four months since I last posted on this site. Long-Covid is not something I want to go through again, and I don’t wish it on anyone else. Actually, I am still suffering from fatigue and tingling numbness in my hands and feet. I started my morning walks again this week – the first since February. The walks feel good but are about half the distance I was accustomed to. I need much more rest afterward than pre-covid and have to take off a day out of every four or five.

 


My writing has been mostly nonexistent. Along with writing, my photography has been put on a hiatus. I do not yet have the energy to get out with any of my cameras. I have managed about 600 words over the past ten days and have taken 150 or so shots with my cameras.

 But, life goes on, and slowly and gradually, my life is starting to feel more normal.



Today’s photos - are from a trip around my backyard yesterday.



Wyoming History -  Thanks once again for Patrick Holscher’s excellent book – On This Day In Wyoming History. I am reminded of this.

On July 21, 1987, the most powerful tornado to ever hit Wyoming struck Yellowstone Park destroying over 15,00 acres of forest.

I'm sorry to learn of your bout with COVID. Here in our family, in spite of the vaccinations, we just had a family member struggle through a conventional bout of it, and that was bad enough.

We had the shots plus the booster - put off short trips and vacations and did all the mask and distance things we could. Not sure it was worth it! Lost a year and a half of life sitting home, that's a lot for someone already past 70.
