Today is Martin Luther King Day. I'm old enough to remember that this wasn't always a national holiday. It's a proud thing that, as a country, we can celebrate the memory and the work of Dr. King and all the folks who worked and continue to work for civil rights, economic justice, and equality for all. Because of the holiday, the University was closed. I stayed home and made chicken noodle soup and did laundry. The soup is yummy, and the clothes are clean.
During the winter it's dark when I leave for work and dark when I get home. If it isn't sunny on the weekends, I don't get see the subtle colors and shadows of the trees around our house. Today the river birch in the back yard looked really lovely.... Mary
