Happy New Year!

I'm not one for looking back in terms of news. I loathe those annual summaries of the previous year. We know the horrors, they stick in our minds. It is tricky balancing mental health and all the wrongs in the world. I need to remember the good times, look forward, and turn the news off once you get your fill. 

Society changes, and evolves, this is what we hope for. Too many eschew laws, and want freedom to do what they want. Then there is the fearmongering media, who predict disasters. 

Sadly, the 'Mango Mussolini' as someone called him, keeps complaining about other countries. I think Canada needs a wall! This was mid-November, 2024. We have more problems with people smuggling guns and drug INTO Canada, not the other way around. Buckle up, buttercups, it's gonna be a ride. 

 

The sun shone on the snow last week. This being my Day Behind blog, I'm now a happy week behind! This was Dec. 24th.

The deer were nibbling on the dead, brown grass out back.

Dec. 31st, after rain, the snow is nearly gone. We had lots of precipitation.

Dec. 30th, no wonder we lost the snow

We've a Colorado Low going by. More rain, then likely snow. We have snow right now, 8 a.m.

Let's have some hope for the future. We'll have to help one another get through this. Canada is likely having an election, as well. Let's hold hands across our borders. 

I did start the year well:
