Ever find yourself finally ready to do something you normally do first thing in the morning… and it’s actually time for bed?

Once in a blue moon, blogging is like that.

Why so late today?

Heading out to Edmonton, Alberta tomorrow at 6am. Much to my surprise this morning before the sun came up, discovered (miraculously) the destination is actually Saskatoon.

So many good years with this tree, a privilege to share the earth together

 

Our perspective determines our reality. A blinding flash of the obvious.
