Not a heck of a lot going on today. I finished reading the story The Birch Grove and it has turned out to be one of the better short stories I've read. The story is about estranged brothers, Stanislaw (Stas) and Boleslaw and takes place in the forests of Poland between the World Wars. Stas could be described as a gad-about, a jet-setter of his era. Much traveled over Europe, he is well educated and used to a good life totally different from his brother's, who is a woodsman and a forestry supervisor. Stanislaw is just out of a sanatorium, and is suffering from a terminal disease, most likely cancer; he is still healthy enough to live more or less normally. He has come home to be near family when his time comes. But wait! Soon there is a woman involved! You will have to read the story to find out more; it is well worth it. Thanks, Jola.

Another huge piece of life's puzzle fell into place last night. Carolyn phoned from work and told me the church she has been cleaning for five years didn't want her back; it was her most profitable job. Seems like they lost a lot of membership and had to find someone who would do the job much cheaper than Carolyn. For some months we have been planning on leaving our house of 16 years and finding something to rent which is a lot easier on our budget. This has put us on the fast track and we now need to be out of here as soon as warm weather comes instead of September as has been planned; I did want to have one more season of porch sitting but as of now it seems impossible. I hope whomever ends up with the house loves critters; I will leave a bird feeder hanging to give them a hint.

Wednesday already?! Have a good one!

I love your posts you're writing earlier. Your world is beautiful and coherent.
Be well.
I will try to write some more good ones as my heath returns with warmth of spring.
Thanks, my dear friend. :-)
