So it's a Monday, and I want to write.  There's a lot on my mind, but exactly what might be appropriate to write is another question.  

The sun is shining and there is a white layer of snow lying on the ground.  It hasn't snowed in a couple of day - or was it just yesterday that I shovelled the driveway and cleaned the car?  I think so - but even then, it had been a few days since there'd been any snow.  

Trouble is that it has been so very cold - or at least considerably below freezing - that the snow has not disappeared and the sidewalks still are quite covered with ice.  Even if the temperature rises above freezing, the ice melts, becomes liquid for a few hours, until the overnight freezing again. 

So, I have not been out on my morning walks for over a month!  I am having to change my routines.

I am sitting here watching the television beside me - or at least, it is on and I can see the headlines if I look at the screen.  

I hate Trump.  And I believe he will continue to be the worst human being - though his sycophants are a very close second to him - and I am fearful of what the world will look like in a month, let alone four more years.  He has been in office not even three full weeks yet!

The Americans voted for him - a president impeached twice - and (his Republican friends had a chance to get rid of him, but they did not), a convicted felow, and convicted rapist, and a degenerate human being!  I don't want to dwell on this, but it's on my mind all the time.  Those voters must be ignorant.

Outside my window there is a fence - a very nice wooden fence. In the better weather, it will be decorated happily.  All the decorations are put away for the winter.

Right now all day long, I can watch the squirrels running back and forth along the top of the fence - back and forth - chasing each other.  At least they are outside getting some exercise!

I like my little neighbourhood as well. We've been here since 2018 and we know several of the neighbours, and it's a very nice neighbourhood.  

I like the Rotary clubs here - there are three of them - but there are two "passport" clubs that meet online.  I am part of one passport club.  Rotary is a force for good in the world, and I think that Rotary makes its members better people.  They think outside of themselves and try to make their communities and the world a better and safer place for everyone.  That is a HUGE task, however.  It's February and the focus in Rotary is on Peace.  

I was sent a link of a trailer for "A Complete Unknown," the story of Bob Dylan.  I would like to see it, and I will wait until it is available online.  In the meantime, here's a trailer.

And that's about all I can write at the moment.  It's just a matter of choosing what's appropriate.

Sunshine and happiness from ladykitt!
