WHAT is IT?

It's a meditation
the practice of patience
It's turmoil silenced
 a fast spreading emptiness
It's a run-on sentence
the elephant in every room
4.15.2020
Nonetheless
Going out to the Post office
 
I will be counted
Surprise gift from Verizon-my Land line
Fees will be waived for bills from 3.22 through 5.22
 
Laundry line in 'little India'
Lexington Avenue in the twenties
Commercial Construction has been halted
but the cranes remain

What a terrible Decision

4.17
Daily defense Morning and Evening
So far, no temperature

 Sun rising in the East

Today slipped away
The Easter Tulips are ready to Fall

Crow hunting pigeons woke me

later
After too much news
Made spaghetti with tomato sauce.
Left the pandemic behind for awhile
Escaped to  Channel 21
watched
"To The Manor Born"
In To the Manor Born, Penelope Keith plays Audrey forbes-Hamilton, an upper-class woman who, upon the death of her husband, has to move out of her beloved manor house to the estate's old lodge. She manages, however, to keep her butler, and her much loved Rolls-Royce motorcar. The manor is then bought by Richard DeVere played by Peter Bowles, a nouveau riche millionaire supermarket owner originally from Czechoslovakia. DeVere and forbes-Hamilton have a love-hate relationship which is eventually resolved in the final episode in which they marry.

Then
"Hold the Sunrise"
Edith, a widow who dreams of retirement in the sun and finally marrying her boyfriend, is dealt a blow to her plans when her 50-year-old son Roger arrives home, announcing he's left his family and is back at his childhood home to try and find the same happiness he had growing up. Edith and Phil, her neighbor as well as former-turned-current partner, have to put a halt on their wedding designs and hopes of moving somewhere tropical to work through things with Roger, including what, and where, his next steps will be.
