Hi friends, I have spent the day looking for some relatives graves in Pennsylvnia and found quite a few
The weather was very temperate today and nights now are chilly.
The banner I am using is one of the first times I ever put up a finished product... I never really do. They are always half done. This one has a cheat on it... I used AI to amplify the light from the lighthouse. Otherwide, its my own painting.
Here are some prompts from Wednesday Hodgepodge:
1. Do you think you're driven more by curiosity or comfort? Explain. 
Always curiosity. I have an insatiable drive to study, learn, find, etc. When there is a question about something I will immediately research it to find the meaning, etc.
2. What non-food item is in your refrigerator or freezer?
I have some cold packs of various sizes in my freezer.
3. Are you comfortable with silence? Yes.
If you're home alone, do you like silence or do you need regular background noise?
I am not one who needs music and TV on all the time and actually I don't like that very much. I prefer the sounds of the outdoors that leak in through the day: kids, dogs, seagulls and etc.
Today there is a cricket in the office who has come inside. He is singing all day long.
Do you seek out times and places to be silent?
No, I don't actively seek them out, they are just there in the place where I live.
What's your favorite place to find silence/be silent?
My own home and neighborhood are usually quiet. I am in a unique area where nature is very close.
4. Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, landscaping...which skill would you most like to possess and how would you put that skill to use today?
Landscaping. I would redo my property for sure. Secondly I would love to be a carpenter to fix up my home.
5. Do you lean more towards being too needy or too independent?
I go between both.
Which do you find harder to deal with in others?
Needy. I am ill equipped anymore to help anyone with that except on a verbal basis and even then not a lot.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
“I was burning, while you came blaming me for the smell of ashes” Kamryn Tanner from the poem I Burn for You.
This quote fits the view of the poor and disadvantaged, the abused wife,child... so many.
A similar quote is one about mocking how someone swims while they are drowning.
