Little House On The Prairie

   The Little House On The Prairie has been sadly neglected.  It was bit of brain failure on my part. During the summer months I tend to visit the earlier part of the week. In that mode I scheduled a number of things for Thursdays and Fridays these last weeks. The synapse that didn't fire was the one that should have remembered in the fall I volunteer at school Monday-Wednesday. The result was no time for S.D.  The Portugal trip also meant time away from The Little House.
    So, now back from Portugal and my week at school finished, I can go. Then the weather predictions are for snow beginning Friday. 😟 There are some things I really need to do and among them is to check on the House, given all the rain. So I have plan, leave early tomorrow for a 24 hour trip.
     Part of my distress at being away is not visiting Joanne's grave. Her burial there, with the marker in place, is a significant comfort to me. What it all means is beyond my ability to articulate but her presence there in a location where I have deep roots is very important to me. Rain or not I'll tend her grave tomorrow and, perhaps, make up for my time away.
